1 From the Department of Radiology, University of Iowa College of Medicine, 200 Hawkins Dr, 3953 JPP, Iowa City, IA 52242-1077. Received January 21, 1998; revision requested April 2; revision received August 10; accepted November 5. Address reprint requests to B.F.M.
The authors designed three localization wires that increase the utility of percutaneous localization of lung nodules performed in conjunction with video-assisted thorascopic resection. In 17 patients, the custom-made wires dislodged less frequently than did commercially available wires (two of 11 vs three of six, respectively) while allowing the surgeon to apply gentle retraction pressure, which aided the resection.
