I had a CT guided needle biopsy for a 2.4 cm nodule. I'd been injured by a bicyclist a few years prior, and had a traumatic chest, and scapula injury with hemothorax. I developed a small pneumothorax that caused me to heal from the Vats resection more slowly, and had to wear a chest tube for awhile at home. There were pulmonary adhesions from the accident we hadn't known about. The teaching hospital did a great job with the biopsy, and were very cautious about me not moving then, or in recovery.
