Radiology
|July 1, 1983
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.
