Comparison of yield and complications of craniocaudal versus caudocranial needle trajectory for kidney biopsy.

CONCLUSION: Caudocranial trajectory of the biopsy needle using a probe needle guide is as safe as the craniocaudal approach. Both approaches have similar yield and complications; however, the caudocranial approach provides ease to the patient during the procedure. PMID: 31204556 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
