Fatal systemic arterial air embolism following lung needle aspiration

DR Aberle, G Gamsu and JA Golden
Department of Radiological Sciences, UCLA Medical Center 90024.

Fatal systemic arterial air embolism occurred as a complication of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration of the lung, immediately following cytologic sampling of a vasculitic lesion of Wegener granulomatosis. This complication is extremely rare, and it may have been caused by the biopsy of abnormal veins, in which transmural inflammation prevented the normal vasoconstrictive responses to injury.
