ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous co-axial technique in liver tumor biopsy.MethodsThe clinical data of patients who received ultrasound-guided percutaneous co-axial liver tumor biopsy from March 2015 to December 2016 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were collected to retrospectively analyze the outcomes of biopsy success rate, sampling number, pathology diagnostic rate and incidence of complications.ResultsA total of 150 patients involving 99 males and 51 females were included, with a mean age of 54.9±4.5 years. The mean tumor size was 2.4±1.2cm. The ultrasound-guided liver tumors biopsy success rate was 100% (150/150). The mean sampling frequency was 2.4±0.6 times. Complications after biopsy included mild local pain (37%, 56/150) and bleeding (0.7%, 1/150).ConclusionUltrasound-guided co-axial biopsy is an simple, safe and efficient image-guided biopsy technique which allows multiple sample acquisition and reduces complications.
