Conservative management of bronchopulmonary artery perforation without associated haemothorax occurring at thoracentesis: a case report.
Puncture or laceration of the pulmonary, intercostal, or peripheral vessels is an uncommon, but potentially life-threatening, complication of thoracentesis, which has been reported to result in severe haemothorax in 75% of patients.
