Intravascular tumors: transvenous biopsy

CE Withers, G Casola, MJ Herba and J Viloria
Department of Radiology, Montreal General Hospital, McGill University, Quebec, Canada.

A technique is described for transfemoral biopsy of intravenous tumors. Positive results were obtained at biopsy in three patients who had an intraluminal mass in the inferior vena cava and in one patient with a mass in the iliac vein. Transvenous biopsy is helpful in obtaining a histologic diagnosis and provides an alternative method to surgery or percutaneous transabdominal needle biopsy.
