Radiologically guided aspiration and drainage of thoracic fluid collections is an improvement on standard "blind" techniques for chest-tube insertion. Specific indications for radiologic drainage are broadening, and instead of failed surgical cases only, patients now are commonly referred for drainage. Most of these procedures are effective and the complication rate vis-à-vis alternatives is acceptable. Soft 12-F catheters suffice in most cases and are relatively comfortable to large-bore tubes.
放射学引导下胸腔积液抽吸和引流是对标准“盲目”胸腔置管技术的改进。放射学引流的特定适应症正在扩大，现在患者通常被转诊进行引流，而不仅仅是手术失败的病例。这些操作大多有效，与其他替代方法相比并发症发生率是可以接受的。在大多数情况下，柔软的12F导管就足够了，而且比大口径导管相对更舒适。
