It might be time to rethink your liver biopsy technique. Transfemoral transcaval core-needle liver biopsy has demonstrated key advantages over the transjugular approach and has become increasingly popular in recent years. Interventional radiologists Dr. Jacob Cynamon and Dr. Kapil Wattamwar join host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss the inception and advantages of their novel approach.
