Intervencionismo no vascular en tórax / Interventional procedures in the chest

Son múltiples las patologías torácicas que van a requerir un procedimiento intervencionista tanto para su diagnóstico como para su tratamiento. Por este motivo, el radiólogo debe conocer las indicaciones de cada procedimiento y estar familiarizado con su técnica. En este trabajo se revisarán los diferentes procedimientos intervencionistas que debe conocer el radiólogo y las indicaciones de la punción de lesiones pulmonares, con especial atención a las potenciales diferencias entre la PAAF (punción-aspiración con aguja fina) y la biopsia, en cuanto a resultados diagnósticos y a complicaciones. Se discutirán también las indicaciones de la radiofrecuencia pulmonar. En otro punto se repasarán los conceptos sobre drenaje de abscesos pulmonares. Se hará hincapié tanto en el manejo del derrame pleural, atendiendo a las indicaciones de toracocentesis, y a cuándo realizarla con guía radiológica, como en el protocolo de drenaje pleural. Respecto al derrame pericárdico, se valorarán sus indicaciones y complicaciones. Finalmente, se discutirá el manejo intervencionista de las lesiones mediastínicas con consejos prácticos de cómo abordar estas lesiones evitando graves complicaciones (AU)

Many thoracic conditions will require an interventional procedure for diagnosis and/or treatment. For this reason, radiologists need to know the indications and the technique for each procedure. In this article, we review the various interventional procedures that radiologists should know and the indications for each procedure. We place special emphasis on the potential differences in the diagnostic results and complications between fine-needle aspiration and biopsy. We also discuss the indications for radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors and review the concepts related to the drainage of pulmonary abscesses. We devote special attention to the management of pleural effusion, covering the indications for thoracocentesis and when to use imaging guidance, and to the protocol for pleural drainage. We also discuss the indications for percutaneous treatment of pericardial effusion and the possible complications of this treatment. Finally, we discuss the interventional management of mediastinal lesions and provide practical advice about how to approach these lesions to avoid serious complications (AU)
