Age, gender, existing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), evidence of emphysema on CT, location of the lesion and the presence of pneumothorax on post\u2010procedure CT and 4\u2010h chest radiograph were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred and ninety\u2010six patients were included (126 patients in the non\u2010gelfoam group and 170 in the gelfoam group).

In patients with emphysema, there was a significantly higher risk of delayed pneumothorax without gelfoam. Additionally, non\u2010peripheral lesions were more likely to develop pneumothorax when gelfoam was not used. The use of gelfoam was especially important in preventing the development of major pneumothoraces that would require drainage with a chest tube.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1754-9485.13256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,14]],"date-time":"2021-06-14T04:40:51Z","timestamp":1623645651000},"page":"678-685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Gelfoam slurry tract occlusion after computed tomography\u2010guided percutaneous lung biopsy: Does it prevent major pneumothorax?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0932-7654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reuben","family":"Sum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theodore","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Melbourne Hospital Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eldho","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation (MCHRI) School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Monash University Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Monash University Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2006.02.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","first-page":"99","article-title":"Pneumothorax after transthoracic needle biopsy of lung lesions under CT guidance","volume":"6","author":"Boskovic T","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Thorac Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.121.4.1159"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2046-4053-3-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.10.4659"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.216.1.r00jl3293"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-008-0872-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-013-0823-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvir.2010.04.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.10.6324"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.184.3.1509068"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-008-0893-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0029-1242206"}],"container-title":["Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13256","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13256","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13256","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T03:28:49Z","timestamp":1693279729000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13256"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,13]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/1754-9485.13256"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13256","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1754-9477","1754-9485"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1754-9477","type":"print"},{"value":"1754-9485","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,13]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2021-02-23","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-05-04","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-06-13","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
