Transcatheter brush biopsy of a liver mass with CT-proven intracaval extension

Comput Radiol. 1985 May-Jun;9(3):173-6. doi: 10.1016/0730-4862(85)90161-1.

Abstract

We report the adjunctive use of CT scanning in confirming the intraluminal location of an intracaval mass prior to transcatheter brush biopsy. In addition, we review several important reports of transcatheter biopsies in both the IVC and SVC, and cite potential complications.
