title: [Transjugular hepatic biopsy. Technic and indications in hepatobiliary diseases].
abstract: The result of 25 transjugular liver biopsies are described. The indications of this technique were: Abnormal blood clotting 65%. Failure of previous percutaneous biopsy 15%. Requirements of suprahepatic venography and or manometry. Perforation of the hepatic capsule was evident in three patients when contrast medium injected after the biopsy escaped under the capsule but without evidence of bleeding. The transjugular liver biopsy is not easy but safe and preferable technique in the management of selected patients.
