Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Kenneth Chang demonstrates the EUS cardiac liver biopsy technique, along with how to salvage with a blood patch. He uses a 19-gauge Franci needle and performs multiple actuations to ensure a good specimen. He also explains the importance of stopping flow during actuations and using the U.S. guided blood patch delivery technique to control bleeding in the needle track. The video shows a case where Doppler shows continuous flow, leading to the use of the blood patch technique. Dr. Chang successfully manages the bleeding and retrieves a high-quality liver specimen. The video concludes with the discussion of the liver biopsy technique and specimen management.
