Straightforward and immediate ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy using a guide needle technique to get adequate tissue with reduced procedural time. Clin Exp Nephrol 2024:10.1007/s10157-024-02544-0. [PMID: 39168886 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-024-02544-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A streamlined and effective renal biopsy technique is essential for all nephrologists, particularly those who are less experienced, such as residents. Herein, we report the efficacy of a Straightforward and Immediate ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy using a Guide Needle (SIGN) technique, which allows operators to insert a biopsy gun through a guide needle placed into the fascia of the posterior abdominal wall. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a nephrology training institution to compare the time spent on the procedure and the number of glomeruli obtained between a group using the SIGN (n = 81) and a group using the conventional ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy technique with a needle guide device (n = 143). RESULTS The median procedure time in the SIGN group (2 min, interquartile range [IQR]: 1-3 min) was significantly shorter than that in the conventional group (3 min, IQR: 2-4 min) (P < 0.001). Multivariable linear regression and logistic regression analyses adjusted for covariates, including operators (board-certificated nephrologists or nephrology residents), showed that the use of the SIGN technique was independently associated with a high number of glomeruli obtained and a procedure time above 2 min as the median value (odds ratio: 0.17, 95% confidence interval CI 0.09-0.34). The prevalence of complications was comparable between the two groups (P = 0.681). CONCLUSION The SIGN technique reduces the procedure time and obtains adequate biopsy tissue regardless of the operator's experience. SIGN can be applied in nephrology training programs and used as a standard biopsy technique.

Abstract
Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in adults, presenting a completely different biological behaviour. Compounding this challenge, paediatric interventional radiology often employs adapted or off-label techniques, potentially compromising optimal outcomes. This review outlines the present indications for interventional radiology in paediatric cancer, from biopsy to supportive care, including complication management. It emphasises the role of locoregional approaches, and explores the status of common paediatric oncological diseases, highlighting areas where IO has made progress identifying potential opportunities for future advancements in this evolving field.

Abstract
Background Nontargeted renal biopsy is essential to diagnosis, classification, and prognostication of medical renal disease. Inadequate biopsies delay diagnosis, expose the patient to repeated biopsy, and increase costs. Objective The purpose of this project is to characterize nontargeted renal biopsy specimen adequacy and identify areas for improvement. Design This project was designed as a clinical audit of specimen adequacy rates of nontargeted renal biopsies from 13 hospitals, as well as a questionnaire of radiology and pathology department staff regarding current practices surrounding renal biopsies. Setting Retrospective analysis of 2188 adult native renal biopsies was performed from January 1, 2018, to September 9, 2021, across 13 hospitals. Patients Adult patients with medical renal disease undergoing a nontargeted renal biopsy were included. Methods Retrospective analysis of 2188 adult native renal biopsies was performed from January 1, 2018, to September 9, 2021, across 13 hospitals. Adequacy was divided into 4 categories based on number of glomeruli received: ideally adequate (≥25 glomeruli), minimally adequate (15-24), suboptimal (<15 and diagnosis rendered), and inadequate (<15 and no diagnosis rendered). Two targets were chosen; target 1, to achieve a combined suboptimal and inadequate rate ≤ 10%, and target 2, to attain an ideally adequate rate ≥80%. Radiology department heads in the province were surveyed on biopsy equipment, technique, technologist support, and feasibility of possible interventions to enhance biopsy adequacy. Pathology department staff were surveyed on their education and experience. Results Adequacy was as follows: ideally adequate 64.7%, minimally adequate 26.0%, suboptimal 7.9%, and inadequate 1.4%. The province (and 8/13 hospitals) met target 1 for native biopsies (9.3%). Two hospitals achieved target 2 for native biopsies. A key finding was that the 2 hospitals with the lowest target 1 scores did not have a technologist present at biopsy. Limitations Survey data was used to assess biopsy technique at each hospital, and specific technique for each biopsy was not recorded. As such, a multivariate statistical analysis of specimen adequacy rates was not feasible. Data on complications was not collected. Conclusions Preintervention the province was at target for limiting inadequate and suboptimal native biopsies. There was a substantial shortfall in the ideally adequate rate from the proposed target. Using insight from survey data, interventions with the greatest expected impact were identified and those that are feasible given limited resources will be implemented to improve sample adequacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the clinical effect of better nursing education on patients' postoperative urination after renal biopsy. METHODS In this study, patients who underwent renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology at our hospital were selected as the observation group (July-December 2018, n = 120) and control group (January-June 2018, n = 110) and received refined nursing education and routine nursing education, respectively. Postoperatively, the causes of dysuria after puncture, the degree of postoperative pain, and the urination mode were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Six patients in the observation group and 23 patients in the control group needed urethral catheterization, accounting for about 5% and 15.2%, respectively. Therefore, the postoperative catheterization rate in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, with a statistically significant difference. CONCLUSION The refined nursing education proposed in this study can effectively improve urinary dysfunction after renal biopsy and has a clinical promotional value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Observation periods after renal mass biopsy (RMB) range from 1 hour to overnight hospitalization. Short observation may improve efficiency by allowing use of the same recovery bed and other resources for RMBs in additional patients. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency, timing, and nature of complications after RMB, as well as to identify characteristics associated with such complications. METHODS. This retrospective study included 576 patients (mean age, 64.9 years; 345 men, 231 women) who underwent percutaneous ultrasound- or CT-guided RMB at one of three hospitals, performed by 22 radiologists, between January 1, 2008, and June 1, 2020. The EHR was reviewed to identify postbiopsy complications, which were classified as bleeding-related or non-bleeding-related and as acute (< 24 hours), subacute (24 hours to 30 days), or delayed (> 30 days). Deviations from normal clinical management (analgesia, unplanned laboratory testing, or additional imaging) were identified. RESULTS. Acute and subacute complications occurred after 3.6% (21/576) and 0.7% (4/576) of RMBs, respectively. No delayed complication or patient death occurred. A total of 76.2% (16/21) of acute complications were bleeding-related. A deviation from normal clinical management occurred after 1.6% (9/551) of RMBs that had no associated postbiopsy complication. Among the 16 patients with bleeding-related acute complications, all experienced a deviation, with mean time to deviation of 56 ± 47 (SD) minutes (range, 10-162 minutes; ≤ 120 minutes in 13/16 patients). The five non-bleeding-related acute complications all presented at the time of RMB completion. The four subacute complications occurred from 28 hours to 18 days after RMB. Patients with, versus those without, a bleeding-related complication had a lower platelet count (mean, 197.7 vs 250.4 × 109/L, p = .01) and greater frequency of entirely endophytic renal masses (47.4% vs 19.6%, p = .01). CONCLUSION. Complications after RMB were uncommon and presented either within 3 hours after biopsy or more than 24 hours after biopsy. CLINICAL IMPACT. A 3-hour monitoring window after RMB before patient discharge (in the absence of deviation from normal clinical management and complemented by informing patients of the low risk of a subacute complication) may provide both safe patient management and appropriate resource utilization.

Glomeruli Count and Arterial Injury in Real-Time Ultrasound-Guided Needle Kidney Biopsy Specimens: Adequacy of Three Approaches for Pig Kidneys. Am J Nephrol 2023; 54:528-535.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning; nonetheless, the optimal puncture approach has yet to be established. In vivo, performing different approaches on the same patient at once is not possible. This study aimed to determine the impact of different approaches on the number of obtained glomeruli and their potential to cause arterial injury using pig kidneys, which are similar to humans. METHODS A total of 120 pig kidneys (60 right-sided kidneys and 60 left-sided kidneys) for research were obtained from a slaughterhouse. The specimens were collected from the lower pole on the sagittal plane of the kidney using three different approaches on the same kidney: caudocranial approach, caudal to cranial; craniocaudal approach, cranial to caudal; and vertical approach, through the surface cortex. Five blinded pediatric nephrologists assessed the number of glomeruli and arterial injuries. RESULTS Overall, 360 specimens were collected from the kidneys through biopsy using a 16-gauge needle (mean vertical kidney length, 11.2 ± 0.7 cm; mean depth, 3.47 ± 0.23 cm). No significant difference in the incidence of arterial injury was observed between the three approaches (caudocranial vs. craniocaudal vs. vertical approaches: 78% vs. 87% vs. 87%, p = 0.14). In contrast, the vertical approach retrieved significantly more glomeruli than the caudocranial and craniocaudal approaches (caudocranial approach: 7.5 ± 2.8, craniocaudal approach: 7.8 ± 2.7, and vertical approach: 8.9 ± 3.3, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Considering its efficacy and safety profile, the vertical approach may be preferred, as more glomeruli can be obtained without increasing the incidence of arterial injury. Although the results cannot be directly extrapolated to humans due to the differences between species, they still offer important insights into the characteristics of each approach.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided coaxial puncture needle in puncture biopsy of peripheral pulmonary masses. In this retrospective analysis, 157 patients who underwent US-guided percutaneous lung biopsy in our hospital were divided into a coaxial biopsy group and a conventional biopsy group (the control group) according to the puncture tools involved, with 73 and 84 patients, respectively. The average puncture time, number of sampling, sampling satisfaction rate, puncture success rate and complication rate between the 2 groups were compared and discussed in detail. One hundred fifty-seven patients underwent puncture biopsy, and 145 patients finally obtained definitive pathological results. The overall puncture success rate was 92.4% ([145/157]; with a puncture success rate of 97.3% [71/73] from the coaxial biopsy group and a puncture success rate of 88.1% [74/84] from the conventional biopsy group (P < .05). For peripheral pulmonary masses ≤3 cm, the average puncture time in the coaxial biopsy group was shorter than that in the conventional biopsy group, and the number of sampling, sampling satisfaction rate and puncture success rate were significantly higher than those in the conventional biopsy group (P < .05). There was no significant difference in the complication rate between the 2 groups (P > .05). For peripheral pulmonary masses >3 cm, the average puncture time in the coaxial biopsy group was still shorter than that in the conventional biopsy group (P < .05). The differences between the 2 groups in the number of sampling, satisfaction rate of the sampling, the success rate of puncture and the incidence of complications were not significant (P > .05). US guided coaxial puncture biopsy could save puncture time, increase the number of sampling, and improve the satisfaction rate of sampling and the success rate of puncture (especially for small lesions) by establishing a biopsy channel on the basis of the coaxial needle sheath. It provided reliable information for the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and individualized accurate treatment of lesions as well.

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided renal biopsies in a paediatric population: comparison of coaxial and non-coaxial techniques using 18-gauge core biopsy needles. Pediatr Radiol 2022; 52:2431-2437. [PMID: 35451631 DOI: 10.1007/s00247-022-05359-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy is performed in paediatric patients for evaluation of diffuse renal parenchymal disease. When compared with the non-coaxial technique, the coaxial technique has the advantages of obtaining multiple tissue cores via a single capsular puncture and post-biopsy tract embolisation. OBJECTIVES To compare the coaxial and non-coaxial techniques of percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy of native kidney parenchyma in children and adolescents with renal disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous US-guided renal biopsy using an 18-gauge core biopsy needle from July 2019 to July 2021 in a single tertiary paediatric nephrology centre. Focal renal tumour biopsy and transplant kidney biopsy were excluded. The total glomerular yield, specimen adequacy, complication rate and procedural time between the coaxial and non-coaxial groups were compared. RESULTS There were 34 percutaneous US-guided renal biopsies: 22 using a coaxial technique and 12 using a non-coaxial technique. The total median glomerular yield obtained was higher in the coaxial group (coaxial=37.9; non-coaxial=22.2; P=0.02). No statistically significant difference was noted between specimen adequacy (coaxial=100%; non-coaxial=91.7%; P=0.35). While no statistically significant difference was detected for overall complication rates (coaxial=13.6%; non-coaxial=41.7%; P=0.09), the coaxial group had a lower rate of haemorrhagic complications (coaxial=4.5%; non-coaxial=41.7%; P=0.01). One patient in the non-coaxial group had post-biopsy haemorrhage requiring embolisation. The procedural time was shorter in the coaxial group (coaxial=26.3 ± 7.0 min; non-coaxial=51.3 ± 11.5 min; P<0.001). CONCLUSION Percutaneous US-guided renal biopsy in children using the coaxial technique has significantly higher total glomerular yield, shorter procedural time and fewer haemorrhagic complications, compared to biopsies using the non-coaxial technique.

Abstract
Objectives This study was to explore the application value of B-ultrasound in guiding puncture biopsy of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the clinical nursing effects under the guidance of B-ultrasound. Methods Pathological examination of kidney biopsy was performed on 94 patients with CKD under the guidance of ultrasound from August 2020 to December 2020.; patients were observed for symptoms such as low back pain, backache, hematuria, and subcapsular hematoma. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed on the punctured patients on day 1, 2, and 3 to observe whether there was subrental hematoma. The pathological results were analyzed and the success rate of percutaneous renal biopsy under ultrasound guidance was analyzed. Before the patient was discharged, investigate the satisfaction with the nursing work. Results (1) After the puncture, 45 patients developed low back pain and low back pain symptoms, 12 cases developed subcapsular hematoma; 8 cases showed gross hematuria, 62 cases showed microscopic hematuria, and the rest had no obvious symptoms; (2) the nursing satisfaction rate of 94 cases was as high as 95.7%. Conclusion US-PRB is a safe and effective auxiliary examination method, which can improve the success rate of puncture and reduce postoperative complications. Effective nursing can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve patient satisfaction.

Abstract
The wide availability of cross-sectional imaging is responsible for the increased detection of small, usually asymptomatic renal masses. More than 50 % of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) represent incidental findings on noninvasive imaging. Multimodality imaging, including conventional US, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is pivotal in diagnosing and characterizing a renal mass, but also provides information regarding its prognosis, therapeutic management, and follow-up. In this review, imaging data for renal masses that urologists need for accurate treatment planning will be discussed. The role of US, CEUS, CT and mpMRI in the detection and characterization of renal masses, RCC staging and follow-up of surgically treated or untreated localized RCC will be presented. The role of percutaneous image-guided ablation in the management of RCC will be also reviewed.

Abstract
Purpose The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of needle track seeding after ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of indeterminate liver lesions with a coaxial biopsy system without any other additional intervention or ablation therapy. Methods We identified 172 patients in a retrospective cohort study who underwent ultrasound-guided biopsy due to a liver mass in our institution between 2007 and 2016. The same coaxial biopsy system was used in all patients, no consecutive ablation was performed. Results None of the finally included 131 patients developed neoplastic seeding. There was one major complication (0.76%), the rest of the complications were minor (3.8%) and did not require further intervention. Conclusion Needle track seeding is a rare delayed complication after percutaneous liver biopsy. Coaxial liver biopsy is a safe method to obtain multiple samples with a single punch in patients with primary or metastatic liver lesions.

Abstract
Oncology has progressed into an era of personalised medicine, whereby the therapeutic regimen is tailored to the molecular profile of the patient's cancer. Determining personalised therapeutic options is achieved by using tumour genomics and proteomics to identify the specific molecular targets against which candidate drugs can interact. Several dozen targeted drugs, many for multiple cancer types are already widely in clinical use. Molecular profiling of tumours is contingent on high-quality biopsy specimens and the most common method of tissue sampling is image-guided biopsy. Thus, for radiologists performing these biopsies, the paradigm has now shifted away from obtaining specimens simply for histopathological diagnosis to acquiring larger amounts of viable tumour cells for DNA, RNA, or protein analysis. These developments have highlighted the central role now played by radiologists in the delivery of personalised cancer care. This review describes the principles of molecular profiling assays and biopsy techniques for optimising yield, and describes a scoring system to assist in patient selection for percutaneous biopsy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pancreatic cancer tumors are difficult to access for biopsy. The use of coaxial needles during ultrasound (US)-guided coarse needle biopsy (CNB) may help to improve specimen collection yields and avoid tissue damage. In this retrospective study, the safety, efficacy, and clinical benefits of US-guided percutaneous coaxial CNB of pancreatic masses were evaluated and compared to those of non-coaxial CNB. METHODS A total sample of 220 biopsies performed from August 2015 to August 2019 were analyzed, including 114 performed with a coaxial needle (17-gauge coaxial coarse needle combined with an 18-gauge coarse biopsy needle) and 106 performed with a non-coaxial needle (18-gauge coarse biopsy needle without a coaxial sheath). The coaxial CNB group was stratified by lesion location to further evaluate the applicability of coaxial core needles. The satisfactory specimen rate, diagnostic efficiency, operating time, and complication rate were compared statistically between groups and subgroups. RESULTS Compared to the non-coaxial CNB group, the coaxial CNB group had a greater satisfactory specimen rate (98.3% vs. 92.3%; p = 0.048), a lesser mean operating time (8.9 ± 3.27 min vs. 16.8 ± 5.77 min; p < 0.001), and a lower complication rate (2.6% vs. 9.6%, p =0 .04). A better diagnostic efficiency was obtained for coaxial CNBs in the head of pancreas (98.7%) than in the body or tail of the pancreas (90%, p = 0.047). CONCLUSION For pancreatic masses, coaxial CNB can yield a higher satisfactory sample rate, lower complication rate, and shorter operating time than non-coaxial biopsy. US-guided percutaneous coaxial CNB is a safe and efficient puncture technique for pancreatic lesion diagnosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Needle biopsy of diseased tissue is an essential diagnostic tool that is becoming even more important as precision medicine develops. However, the capability of this modality to efficiently provide samples adequate for diagnostic and prognostic analysis remains quite limited relative to current diagnostic needs. For physicians and patients, inadequate biopsy frequently leads to diagnostic delay, procedure duplication, or insufficient information about tumor biology leading to delay in treatment; for health systems, this results in substantial incremental costs and inefficient use of scarce specialized diagnostic resources. OBJECTIVE.— To review current needle biopsy technology, devices, and practice with a perspective to identify current limitations and opportunities for improvement in the context of advancing precision medicine. DATA SOURCES.— PubMed searches of fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy devices and similar technologies were made generally, by tissue site, and by adequacy as well as by health economics of these technologies. CONCLUSIONS.— Needle biopsy adequacy can be improved by recognizing the importance of this diagnostic tool by promoting common criteria for needle biopsy adequacy; by optimizing needle biopsy procedural technique, technologies, clinical practice, professional education, and quality assurance; and by bundling biopsy procedure costs with downstream diagnostic modalities to provide better accountability and incentives to improve the diagnostic process.

Abstract
Percutaneous renal biopsy is widely used for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of nephropathies. Complications may arise after renal biopsy, most commonly in the form of bleeding. Efforts should be taken to optimize modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, thrombocytopenia, and coagulopathy prior to the procedure. Unmodifiable risk factors such as poor renal function, gender, and underlying histologic diagnosis may be used to identify high-risk patients. Delayed presentation of bleeding complications is common, and close clinical follow-up is crucial.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the utility of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided coaxial needle biopsies for focal liver lesions (FLL) that were inconspicuous or could not be accurately identified the active site on B-mode ultrasound (US). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 76 patients who had CEUS-guided coaxial needle biopsies for FLL between December 2015 and June 2017. We recorded characteristics of target lesions. We evaluated conspicuity of target lesions and accuracy of identifying the active site of target lesions on B-mode US and CEUS using a 5-point scale. Patients were divided into three groups, and analyzed according to body mass index (BMI). Based on the final diagnosis, the diagnostic performance was evaluated. RESULTS The mean size and depth of target lesions were 41.5 ± 28.5 and 47.9 ± 18.9 mm on CEUS, respectively. In arterial phase, the enhanced pattern of target lesions varied. The conspicuity of target lesions and accuracy of identifying the active site of target lesions was significantly improved on CEUS compared to B-mode US (p < 0.05). The three BMI groups had significant differences in conspicuity of target lesions after using CEUS (p < 0.05). The high BMI group had a greater change in conspicuity of lesions compared to the normal BMI group or the low BMI group (p < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of this technique for the diagnosis of FLL were 92.8%, 100%, and 93.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION Real-time CEUS-guided coaxial needle biopsy can be very useful for FLL that are inconspicuous or cannot be accurately identified the active site on B-mode US.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of laser ablation (LA) in patients with small renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and increased risk of bleeding. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 2013 to 2017, nine patients (six males, three females, aged 68.5 ± 12.2 years) at high risk of bleeding underwent ultrasonography-guided LA for an RCC. Patients were considered at increased risk of bleeding because of impairment of coagulation parameters, concomitant antiplatelet therapy, or at-risk location of the tumor (one, five, and three patients, respectively). RCC diameter ranged from 11 to 23 mm. According to tumor size, two or three laser fibers were introduced through 21-gauge needles and 1800 J per fiber were delivered in 6 min with a fixed power of 5 W. Major and minor complications, technical success, and primary and secondary technical effectiveness and tumor recurrence were recorded. RESULTS Just one Grade 1 complication was observed: a small asymptomatic hematoma that spontaneously resolved. Technical success was 100%, 1 month technical efficacy was 88.9% (8/9 patients). One patient with residual tumor was successfully retreated 1 month later, and secondary efficacy rate was 100%. No local tumor recurrence occurred during a median follow-up of 26 months (range 11-49 months). CONCLUSIONS LA is safe and effective in the treatment of small RCC and might represent a valid option in patients with increased risk of bleeding.

Abstract
Here we report a case of sclerosing mesenteritis that we diagnosed with needle biopsy under the guidance of computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) observation. An 82-year-old woman presented with appetite loss, weight loss and epigastric pain. CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed increased density of the mesentery adjacent to the small bowel and enlarged lymph nodes. Sclerosing mesenteritis was suspected, but malignancies, such as lymphoma, were also considered. We performed CT and US-guided needle biopsy with the coaxial technique. An introducer needle was inserted, its correct location was documented with CT, and multiple specimens were taken with a finer needle passed through the introducer without incident. Adequate specimens were obtained, and the histological diagnosis of sclerosing mesenteritis was made. We treated the patient with corticosteroids and her symptoms and the radiographic findings improved. The coaxial technique was a useful and minimally invasive tool for making the diagnosis of sclerosing mesenteritis.

Abstract
Purpose Precision oncology relies on frequent pathologic, molecular, and genomic assessments of tumor tissue to guide treatment selection, evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of novel agents, and determine drug resistance mechanisms. Newer forms of analyses such as drug screens in cell lines and patient-derived xenografts demand increasing amounts of tissue material. It remains unknown how the need for serial biopsies with large numbers of tumor cores relates to tissue yields and biopsy complication rates. Materials and Methods In this study, we performed a retrospective analysis of 199 focal liver biopsies performed in 143 patients in the setting of oncologic research protocols (research biopsy group) over a 4-year period at a single-intervention oncology service. Practice patterns and complication rates were compared with those related to 1,522 consecutive biopsies performed in 1,154 patients in whom two cores were obtained for standard clinical management of patients (standard biopsy). Results In the research biopsy group, 1,100 tissue cores (average, 5.5 cores per procedure) were harvested and distributed to trial sponsors, internal research laboratories, and pathology services. The complication rate in this cohort was 0.5% for major complications (one of 199) and 1.0% for minor complications managed conservatively (two of 199). In the standard biopsy control group, major complications were observed in 1.4% of procedures (22 of 1,522) and minor complications in 0.2% (three of 1,522). These complication rates were not statistically different. Conclusion Harvesting extra tissue cores through coaxial needles during focal liver biopsies does not increase complication rates and yields valuable tissue for additional experimental testing.

Measuring hemoglobin prior to early discharge without routine surveillance ultrasound after percutaneous native renal biopsy in children. Pediatr Nephrol 2017; 32:1927-1934. [PMID: 28477259 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-017-3680-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2017] [Revised: 03/30/2017] [Accepted: 04/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the role of post-procedural hemoglobin (hb), without pre-discharge ultrasound (US), after US-guided renal biopsy in children. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of consecutive outpatient native kidney biopsies over an 8-year period. Procedures were performed under real-time US guidance. Data collected included number of passes, presence and size of perinephric hematoma, age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), fasting status, hb and platelets. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, group differences were tested with Student's unpaired t test and analysis of variance and correlations were assessed using Pearson's r. Significance was defined as p < 0.05. Hb changes (g/L), percentage hb (%hb) change, hematoma size and positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV, respectively) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 330 procedures in 300 children (141 females, mean age 11.2 ± 4.30 years) were analyzed. Post-procedural hematoma occurred in 63%. There was a significant (p = 0.0001) post-procedural hb decrease of 6.3 ± 5.5 g/L and %hb decrease of 4.56 ± 4.01%. Fasting during pre-procedural hb estimation and procedural hematoma was associated with a greater hb drop. A ≥10% hb drop had 73% PPV for repeat blood work and US and a 17% PPV for admission, whereas a <10% hb drop had a NPV of 84% and 98%, respectively. Hb change showed a weak correlation with age, and hematoma size showed a weak inverse correlation with platelet count, but no correlation with BMI, number of passes or BP. CONCLUSIONS Bleeding complications from US-guided native kidney biopsies in pediatric outpatients can be safely followed by a complete blood count at 6 h post procedure. A 10% hb decrease is strongly associated with requirement for further testing and/or admission.
