EUS-EUS GUIDED BLOOD PATCH DELIVERY DURING LIVER BIOPSY: NATURE’S GEL FOAM

EUS GUIDED BLOOD PATCH DELIVERY DURING LIVER BIOPSY: NATURE’S GEL FOAM

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of EUS liver biopsy as an alternative to percutaneous or IR-guided liver biopsy. It emphasizes the safety of EUS-guided liver biopsy, with the main complications being bleeding events. The video explains the use of a 19-gauge FNA needle for the EUS liver biopsy procedure, involving one pass with three actuations. It also highlights the use of EFLOW color doppler to identify potential bleeding within the biopsy tract and the technique of using a blood patch to achieve hemostasis and prevent post-biopsy bleeding. Two case examples are presented to demonstrate the procedure. The video concludes by stating that there are currently no endoscopic therapies to prevent post-liver biopsy bleeding, making this technique significant. No credits are mentioned in the video.
