Clinical Trial: Assessing EUS and Percutaneous Untargeted Liver Biopsy Quality: A Sequential-Period Cluster-Randomized Study

U.S., July 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07701031) titled 'Assessing EUS and Percutaneous Untargeted Liver Biopsy Quality: A Sequential-Period Cluster-Randomized Study' on July 08.

Brief Summary: This prospective, single-center study evaluates and compares the tissue sample quality and patient comfort of different liver biopsy methods. While traditional percutaneous liver biopsy passes a needle through the abdominal wall into the liver, endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) offers an internal alternative performed via the stomach under sedation.
