Fatal air embolism as a complication of CT-guided needle biopsy of the lung.

F Kodama1, T Ogawa, M Hashimoto, Y Tanabe, Y Suto, T Kato.   

Abstract

A CT-guided needle lung biopsy carries a risk of potential air embolization. We present a rare case of air embolization after this procedure. Postmortem CT revealed air in the cerebral arteries and the left ventricle. This complication is extremely rare; however, it becomes fatal when it happens. Several points to prevent this fatal complication are discussed.
