Liver biopsy through the transjugular approach. Modification of instruments

R F Colapinto et al. Radiology. 1983 Jul.

Abstract

Two modifications of the needle to facilitate transjugular biopsy of the liver are described. The bevel is reversed to prevent perforation of the catheter by the needle, and a stylet is placed within the needle to prevent aspiration of fragmented specimens into the syringe.
