Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Kenneth Chang demonstrates the technique for EUS cardiac liver biopsy. He explains the process of performing the biopsy and how to salvage the procedure with a blood patch if there is excessive bleeding. He shows a liver specimen from a patient and explains the importance of ensuring there is no flow coming through the last two centimeters of the needle track. He also discusses a case where Doppler showed continuous flow for over five minutes and demonstrates the use of an ultrasound-guided blood patch to address the bleeding. Dr. Chang emphasizes the technique of the liver biopsy, management of the specimen, and dealing with bleeding in the needle track using the blood patch technique.
