ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to compare the adverse event (AE) rates of percutaneous pediatric transplant liver biopsies in patients receiving periprocedural antithrombotic agents with those in patients not receiving them. A 19-year retrospective single-center study of ultrasound-guided transplant liver biopsies was conducted. Patients who received aspirin for <5 days (n = 51) or heparin <4 hours (n = 15) before biopsy were separately grouped. AEs were reported using the Society of Interventional Radiology classification. In 276 biopsy samples from patients with a mean age of 6.75 years ± 5.80, the overall AE (P = .72) and moderate AE (P = .78) rates for control and antithrombotic groups were not significantly different. No severe AEs or deaths occurred. In conclusion, aspirin continuation during percutaneous pediatric transplant liver biopsies may be safe, but more studies are necessary to confirm the safety of periprocedural heparin.
