  • Title: Angiographic visualization for percutaneous renal biopsy.
    Author: Eiser AR, Vieux U, Neff MS, Slifkin RF.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 1983 Sep; 3(2):129-32. PubMed ID: 6613993.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen patients underwent visualization of the kidney for percutaneous biopsy by selective renal angiography. Biopsies were performed in 11 patients, and adequate renal tissue was obtained in all instances. Postbiopsy angiogram revealed pinpoint bleeding in ten patients and significant extravasation in one case, which was controlled with a selective epinephrine infusion. In four cases, biopsy was not performed when the cortex was found to be less than 5 mm thick.
