Background: Liver biopsy is a widely used, safe diagnostic tool utilised by clinicians for the histopathological assessment of the liver. Our study aims to report our experience in patients who underwent ultrasound-guided plugged percutaneous liver biopsy in a tertiary care hospital in India.
Material And Methods: The Institutional Ethical Review Board approved this retrospective study, and informed consent was obtained from all the patients.
Purpose: The study aims to report our very early experience with prostate artery embolisation in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in an Indian setting.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Review Board, and informed consent was obtained from all the patients. Four patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent prostate embolisation.
Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of ultrasound (US) guidance in improving the safety and efficacy of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) by analyzing all the TJLBs performed by us in the last 4 years.
Materials And Methods: Forty-seven patients who underwent TJLB in the last 4 years in our two centers were retrospectively analyzed. US guidance was used for all but for one patient during the two crucial steps of the procedure-for internal jugular vein (IJV) access and during the parenchymal biopsy.
Background And Aim: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or sorafenib is recommended for hepatocellular carcinoma BCLC stages B and C respectively. We studied the role of combination of TACE and sorafenib in BCLC stages B/C.
Material And Methods: We undertook an observational study on a cohort of cirrhotics with HCC from August 2010 through October 2014.
