The present study was aimed to evaluate the role and safety of surgical lung biopsies (SLB) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) in China.
A retrospective analysis of 418 patients with ILD undergoing SLB from Chinese literature and the data of our hospital during the past ten years was performed.
A total of 418 cases underwent SLB, including open lung biopsy (OLB) in 229 cases and video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy (VATLB) in 189 cases. SLB yielded a specific diagnosis for 88.0% cases, and unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia diagnosis was seen in 9.1% cases. The total postoperative complication rate was 12.0% and mortality rate was 1.9%. The diagnostic yield, post-operative complication rate, and mortality rate between VATLB and OLB had no significant difference.
SLB is a very useful and relatively safe procedure for diagnosis of ILD.
本研究旨在评估外科肺活检(SLB)在中国间质性肺疾病(ILD)患者中的作用及安全性。
对过去十年来自中国文献及我院接受SLB的418例ILD患者进行回顾性分析。
共418例患者接受了SLB,其中229例行开胸肺活检(OLB),189例行电视辅助胸腔镜肺活检(VATLB)。SLB对88.0%的病例做出了明确诊断,9.1%的病例诊断为无法分类的特发性间质性肺炎。术后总并发症发生率为12.0%,死亡率为1.9%。VATLB与OLB之间的诊断率、术后并发症发生率及死亡率无显著差异。
SLB是诊断ILD的一种非常有用且相对安全的方法。
