Endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy using a dynamic wet technique

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) using a dynamic wet technique, which aims to improve the safety and accuracy of liver biopsies. The procedure allows for real-time visualization of the needle entering the liver, minimizing the risk of injury to intrahepatic vessels and bile ducts. It is particularly beneficial for patients with altered liver function tests and can be performed safely in individuals with higher international normalized ratios (INR) compared to traditional methods. The study focuses on assessing the outcomes of this technique in various patient populations, including those who are obese or pregnant.
