Abstract
A 35-year-old male with ascites and coagulopathy underwent transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) for severe hepatic dysfunction. However, the acute angle of the inferior vena cava and hepatic veins (HVs) prevented insertion of a 14-gauge inner stiffening metallic cannula into the HV. He then underwent successful liver biopsy by right femoral vein access (transfemoral liver biopsy) using a TJLB device without complications and was pathologically diagnosed with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.Entities:
