An observational study in Pneumothorax Iatrogenic Postprocedural, Air Embolism as A Complication of Medical Care and Hemoptysis, sponsored by St. Olavs Hospital. Completed. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-14.
Sponsored by St. Olavs Hospital · Observational
At St. Olavs Hospital, a prospective collection of data on complications related to CT-guided lung biopsies has been conducted over several years as part of quality control study. The primary aim of this quality control study is to map complications in all patients who have undergone percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy at St. Olavs Hospital from May 2012 to December 2023.
37 studies on the registry are indexed under Hemoptysis; 6 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 1,200 is above the median of 176 across 15 observational studies indexed under Hemoptysis.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
