Complications of video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy in patients with interstitial lung disease.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2007; (3): 1140-4
Current guidelines recommend surgical lung biopsy for diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) in selected patients. To shed light on the risk-benefit ratio for this recommendation, we examined the morbidity and mortality associated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) lung biopsy in a group of outpatients.
