Resumen

TELLEZ-AVILA, Félix I.; DUARTE-MEDRANO, Gilberto  y  CHABLE-MONTERO, Fredy. Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle biopsy of the liver with the new 20G procore needle in a patient with abnormal liver function tests and without solid liver lesion. Endoscopia [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.4, pp.168-169.  Epub 01-Nov-2021. ISSN 2444-6483.  https://doi.org/10.24875/end.m19000169.

Conventionally, liver biopsies are obtained by surgery, through percutaneous or transjugular. All that are good options but all have disadvantages as costs, complications risk, or invasiveness grade. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsies have showed good diagnostic yield in patients with solid liver lesions; however, in patients without solid lesions have been unsatisfactory. This problem has related to the kind of needles used. Recently, needles with a new design for liver biopsies have been created.
