Transjugular liver biopsy is performed in patients with deranged blood clotting in whom a percutaneous liver biopsy cannot be performed. It is performed by puncturing a vein in the neck region and reaching liver by specialised hardware by endovascular route. Hepatic vein wedge pressure can also be measured by this technique when required.
