Abstract
Percutaneous manual aspiration of biopsy-induced pneumothorax performed immediately after biopsy may prevent progressive pneumothorax and eliminate the need for chest tube placement. However, in cases in which the amount of aspirated air is large (such as more than 543 mL in this study), the possibility of required chest tube placement increases.
