Percutaneous Liver Puncture under CT Guidance:Clinical Application

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of percutaneous liver puncture under CT guidance. Methods:Twenty-six patients with liver disease were percutaneously punctured under CT guidance.Nineteen patients with hepatic masses or diffuse liver diseases underwent needle biopsy,7 cases with definite diagnosis were punctured for interventional therapy.Left and right lobes were punctured in 14 and 12 patients,respectively.The lesions varied from 1.3~12.5cm in diameter.Results:The procedure was successful in all of 26 cases and the success rate was 100%.Correct rate of pathologic diagnosis was 94.74% in 19 patients.The success rate of interventional therapy was 100% in 7 patients.Conclusion:Aspiration biopsy and interventional therapy based on percutaneous puncture under CT guidance is of great clinical value in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and treatment of liver disease.
