Letter to the Editor: Reconsidering the role of the pleural tail sign in predicting severe pneumothorax after computed tomography-guided lung biopsy

Key Points

• This letter aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the pleural tail sign in predicting severe pneumothorax following lung biopsies.
• Reviewing existing literature on pleural tail sign and pneumothorax outcomes
• Analyzing data from computed tomography-guided lung biopsies
• The correlation between pleural tail sign and severe pneumothorax is questioned
• New interpretations may change clinical decision-making regarding lung biopsy procedures
