Abstract:
The ultrasound-guided liver biopsy is an important tool to obtain histological samples of suspicious lesions. The technique is effective and complications are rare. After the procedure a standardized monitoring of the patient is necessary. We describe the procedure and the post-interventional monitoring of a liver biopsy step by step.
