Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided, Percutaneous, and Transjugular Liver Biopsy: A Comparative Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUSLB) has become an attractive alternative. EUSLB appears to be a safe, minimally invasive procedure that is comparable to PCLB and TJLB regarding biopsy specimens obtained and rate of adverse events associated with each method. Compared to TJLB, EUS LB showed no difference in LLP( length of longest piece) (p=0.351), fewer CPT( complete portal triads), and longer TSL( total specimen length).
