Periprocedural Major Bleeding Risk of Image-Guided Percutaneous Chest Tube Placement in Patients with an Elevated International Normalized Ratio

ConclusionsNo major bleeding complications were observed after image-guided percutaneous chest tube placement in patients with an elevated INR. Major bleeding complications in these patients may be safer than initially considered, and this study encourages the conduct of larger trials for further evaluation.
