An additional use of the transjugular hepatic Tru-cut biopsy needle is reported. A periaortic mass was biopsied with this device inserted through the femoral vein under fluoroscopy guidance. Based on the sampled tissue, a diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis was made. The procedure was well tolerated, and long-term follow-up confirmed the diagnosis. Transcaval retroperitoneal biopsy may represent an alternative to surgical biopsy of diffuse retroperitoneal disease in high operative-risk patients.
据报道，经颈静脉肝粗针活检针还有其他用途。在荧光透视引导下，通过股静脉插入该装置对主动脉旁肿块进行活检。根据所取组织，诊断为特发性腹膜后纤维化。该操作耐受性良好，长期随访证实了诊断。经腔腹膜后活检可能是手术风险高的弥漫性腹膜后疾病患者手术活检的一种替代方法。
