[Angiographic abnormalities after punch-biopsy of the liver (author's transl)].
The authors report on 10 cases of complications during punch-biopsy of the liver, an arterio-portal fistula being the one most frequently encountered (8 out of 10 cases). The clinical condition improved in 9 cases out of 10. The authors stress the frequency of arterioportal fistula after punch-biopsy of the liver (60% it arteriography is carried out during the first week). They recall the benign character of these fistulae and their tendency towards spontaneous healing.
