Abstract Background: We conducted a prospective study to investigate the efficacy of pleural blood patching to reduce the need for chest tube placement in pneumothorax of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Methods: We enrolled each 77 patients in study and control groups. If the patient of study group developed pneumothorax ≥1 cm on post-biopsy CT, we drew 15 mL blood, then performed simple aspiration followed by pleural blood patching. In control group, we performed only simple aspiration or no interventions. Results: Of the 77 patients of study group, 41 developed pneumothorax, 9 of which were ≥ 1 cm, and 8 patients underwent pleural blood patching. None of these 8 patients (0%) required chest tube placement. In comparison between study group and control group, pleural blood patching reduced the chest tube insertion rate from 23.1% to 11.1% in patients pneumothorax ≥ 1 cm, but not statistically significant (p=0.26) Conclusion: Selective pleural blood patching reduced chest tube insertion rate in patients pneumothorax ≥ 1 cm, large-scale studies are warranted to confirm the result. Trial registration: This study was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (trial number: 000007586).
