CT-guided liver biopsies: eight years' experience. Work in progress

CR Martino, JR Haaga, PJ Bryan, JP LiPuma, SJ El Yousef and RJ Alfidi

In the past eight years 180 patients with liver abnormalities demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) underwent CT-guided biopsies with 22-guage Madayag, 14-gauge Travenol, or 18-gauge Menghini needles used singly or in combination. Cytologic and pathologic results were tabulated and correlated with the subsequent surgical or autopsy findings and with clinical follow-up ranging from three months to three years. Complications of the procedures were also recorded. It is concluded that cutting needle biopsies provide a higher yield of diagnostic tissue compared with aspiration biopsies (89.9% versus 65%) without a significant increase in complications (1.44% versus 0.83%). The techniques utilized, risk of complications, and the indications for biopsy are discussed.
