Abstract
The transjugular technique facilitates various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the liver. Even in patients with defective hemostasis, severe ascites, or marked oesity, liver biopsy or cholangiography can be performed with relative safety. It also provides an alternative route for entry into the portal system.
