Abstract
Eight patients with liver disease and seriously abnormal blood coagulation underwent biopsy of the liver performed through a percutaneously introduced sheath, followed by embolization of the biopsy track with steel coils. In all cases the biopsy procedure produced profuse bleeding through the sheath. However, the bleeding ceased within a few minutes after coil insertion.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
