ObjectiveTo describe the technique of injecting hemostatic matrix, as well as the
experience of our interventional radiology department in its
application.Materials and MethodsWe conducted a single-center study with retrospective analysis of the
experience of our group in the use of hemostatic gelatin matrix in
percutaneous biopsies.ResultsIn a total of 73 biopsies in different organs, such as the liver, kidney, and
spleen, hemostatic gelatin matrix was introduced into the coaxial needle.
The only complication observed was migration of the hemostatic matrix to the
left kidney collecting system, and that was resolved with clinical
treatment. There were no cases of bleeding after the injection of hemostatic
matrix.ConclusionThe use of hemostatic matrices in the path of percutaneous biopsies is
another tool available for consideration in minimally invasive
procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
