The objective of this study was to determine the relative safety and accuracy of fluoroscopy-guided fine-needle aspiration of deep-seated pulmonary lesions regardless of their size and depth.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>ANIMALS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Client-owned animals; 5 dogs and 5 cats.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CLINICAL PRESENTATION<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Pulmonary lesion locations were determined on dorsoventral and lateral views using fluoroscopy. The lateral thoracic wall was aseptically scrubbed, and an indelible marker was used to mark the point of entry of the needle for sampling. The path of a 22-gauge needle attached to a syringe was followed using fluoroscopic guidance. Mass volume (Vma) and distance from skin and pleura to lesion (D<jats:sub>SK-L<\/jats:sub> and D<jats:sub>PL-L<\/jats:sub>) were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In dogs, mean Vma was 137.2 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> (range, 6.3 to 426.2 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>). Mean D<jats:sub>SK-L<\/jats:sub> was 71 mm (range, 37 to 101 mm) and D<jats:sub>PL-L<\/jats:sub> was 33 mm (range, 16 to 71 mm). Exfoliative cytology results were consistent with carcinoma in 4 dogs and lymphoma in 1 dog. A minor postprocedural complication was noted in 1 dog. In cats, the mean Vma was 2.4 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> (range, 1.6 to 3.7 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>). Mean D<jats:sub>SK-L<\/jats:sub> was 42 mm (range, 20 to 75 mm) and D<jats:sub>PL-L<\/jats:sub> was 21 mm (range, 12 to 32 mm).
