    Author: Lalli AF, McCormack LJ, Zelch M, Reich NE, Belovich D.
    Journal: Radiology; 1978 Apr; 127(1):35-40. PubMed ID: 635202.
    Abstract:
    1223 patients underwent aspiration biopsy with a diagnostic yield of 86.4%; 24.2% of the patients had a small pneumothorax, but only 4.4% required treatment; one patient developed a moderate hemothorax. The method, problems, and complications including morbidity and mortality are discussed. The relative success of aspiration biopsy with different lesions of the lung and mediastinum is identified.
