Outpatient percutaneous liver biopsy: still a good option.
European Journal of Internal Medicine 2009 September
OBJECTIVE: To assess security of "blind" percutaneous liver biopsy as an ambulatory procedure.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Defining inclusion criteria, surveillance protocol, data from ultrasonography done 6 h after procedure and complications.
RESULTS: We analysed 192 percutaneous liver biopsies done between 2000-2007. There were no major complications and only a small number of minor complications. There were no deaths related to the procedure.
CONCLUSION: It is possible to perform percutaneous liver biopsy as an ambulatory procedure not expecting to find threatening complications.
