CT-guided placement of microcoil end in the pleural cavity for video-assisted thoracic surgical resection of ground-glass opacity : a retrospective study

© 2022. The Author(s)..

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate and summarize the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided microcoil localization before video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the removal of ground-glass opacity (GGO).

METHODS: A total of 147 patients with GGO who were treated at our hospital between January 2019 and February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to the final position at the end of the microcoil: intracavity (n = 78) and extracavity (n = 69), which were compared based on puncture complications and influence of the coil end position on VATS.

RESULTS: The proportions of supine and prone positions in the intracavity group were significantly higher than those in the extracavity group (82.1% vs. 66.7%, P < 0.05). The incidence of intrapulmonary hemorrhage, chest pain, and coil displacement in the intracavity group was significantly lower than that in the extracavity group (28.2% vs. 46.4%, 19.2% vs. 39.1%, 1.3% vs. 11.6%, P < 0.05, respectively); however, the incidence of pneumothorax was not significantly different (P > 0.05). The time of VATS and the rate of conversion to thoracotomy in the intracavity group were significantly lower than those in the extracavity group (103.4 ± 21.0 min vs. 112.2 ± 17.3 min, 0% vs. 5.8%, P < 0.05, respectively).

CONCLUSION: CT-guided placement of the microcoil is a practical, simple, and convenient localization method before VATS, with a high success rate and few complications. Furthermore, it is a better alternative method to place the end of the coil in the pleural cavity because of the lower complication rate, shorter VATS time, and lower rate of thoracotomy conversion.
