Abstract

Percutaneous lung biopsy of 49 cases with disseminated or localised pulmonary lesion with Vim Silverman’s biopsy needle resulted in complications in 20 % cases and yielded diagnostic lung tissue in only 8 % cases. On all counts, open lung biopsy appears to be a more practicable and definitive procedure.
