Novel use of electromagnetic navigation for thoracostomy tube placement

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2021 Jun 1;34(5):586-587. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2021.1930502. eCollection 2021 Sep.ABSTRACTManagement of recurrent pleural effusions can be challenging and may require multiple modalities for treatment. Advanced image guidance with ultrasound or computed tomography is often useful for increased accuracy. We demonstrate a novel application of a percutaneous image-guided technique using electromagnetic navigation to successfully place thoracostomy tubes.PMID:34456478 | PMC:PMC8366941 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2021.1930502
