Liver Biopsy
Transvenous Liver Biopsy

Text

Transvenous liver biopsy is performed by a radiologist in which a small tube is inserted into the internal jugular vein in the neck and radiological guided into the hepatic vein, which drains the liver.

A small biopsy needle is then inserted through the tube and directly into the liver to obtain a sample of tissue.

This biopsy technique is used in patients who have a significant problem with blood clotting (coagulopathy) or a large amount of fluid within the abdomen (ascites).
