Abstract

INTRODUCTION:
Percutaneous liver biopsy (LB) is the gold standard method for evaluation and management of patients with liver disease. The purpose of this study was to characterize pediatric patients undergoing LB at British Columbia Children & apos;s Hospital, and to determine the rate and timing of complications following the procedure.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
The medical records of all pediatric patients who underwent LB during a six-year retrospective study were reviewed to collect demographic and procedure-related data.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Although diaphragm paresis or paralysis is fairly common following cardiac procedures; it is a less common complication following liver transplantation. Unilateral diaphragm paresis, usually right sided, has been described following liver transplantation in adults and has been rarely described in children.

PURPOSE:
Diaphragmatic injury following LT is often unrecognized and is typically unilateral, involving the right hemidiaphragm. Bilateral diaphragm dysfunction following liver transplantation in children is a rare complication.

METHODS:
