Pleural biopsy with Cope and Abrams needles
N Morrone, E Algranti, E Barreto - Chest, 1987 - Elsevier
The object of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of Abrams and Cope needles.
Pleural biopsies were performed in 24 patients with both needles. In two patients, the
procedure was repeated within a few days. All patients had pleural effusion. The biopsies
were performed at the same time; the biopsy sites were no more than 5 cm distant from each
other. Diagnoses were exclusively pathologic. There was no difference between the needles
in relation to diagnosis; greater size of the fragment, mesothelial cells, and fibrin were most …
