Systemic air embolism after transthoracic lung biopsy: A case report and review of literature.

Wessam Bou-Assaly1, Perry Pernicano, Ellen Hoeffner.   

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy is a common diagnostic procedure that is associated with various complications, including pneumothorax, hemoptysis and parenchymal hemorrhage. Systemic air embolism is a very rare (0.07%) but potentially life-threatening complication. We report a fatal case of air embolism to the cerebral and coronary arteries confirmed by head and chest CT, followed by a review of the literature.
