Abstract:

Transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) was performed in six patients in whom percutaneous liver biopsy was contraindicated because of coagulation disorder and / or ascites. An adequate biopsy allowing histological diagnosis was obtained in all six patients (100%). Major complications were none. TJLB is a valuable diagnostic technique when percutaneous liver biopsy is considered unsafe.
