2020, Academic RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Biopsies are invasive and there are limitations regarding sampling errors and high inter and intraobserver variability (3–5). The practice also has constraints in pediatric care (6–8). More recently, alternative and quantitative noninvasive imaging methods based on ultrasound (6–11) and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) have emerged in the clinical setting (12–22), with extensive evidence of diagnostic utility in both pediatrics and adults.

2018, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Therefore, if the patient is being taken to the operating room for an abdominal surgery, the surgeon is often asked to obtain an intraoperative liver biopsy. Complication rates of liver biopsy in the literature range from 0.2% to 6.5%19–23 which is consistent with our study findings. The main complication reported is bleeding22; however, only one patient in our study suffered a complication and this was apnea after anesthesia administration.
Blind percutaneous liver biopsy in infants and children: Comparison of safety and efficacy of percussion technique and ultrasound assisted technique
2016, Arab Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Scheimann et al. [10] reported a 6.83% incidence of overall complications in a retrospective study done in 249 biopsies and a 2.4% incidence of major complications and the mortality rate was 0.4%. Whereas, Cohen et al. [36] stated that major complication rate was 4.5% in a retrospective review of unguided percutaneous liver biopsies in 483 children of all ages. On a large study done on 513 paediatric patients using ultrasound guided technique, Matos et al. [22] reported rate of minor complications of 7.4% and major complications of 1%.
