    Cathy…indeed it is. Your physician was aware of the risk. Unfortunately we continue to see the opposite happening by many others.

    Marion, is a percutaneous bioposy a needle bioposy?? I had my bioposy done during my first ERCP, and my doctor knew right away I needed a transplant, but he did a brushing, not a needle bioposy and he also knew it would come back a false negative, which it did. My trial was the Mayo protocol.

    Be aware that percutaneous biopsies and/or biopsies performed at the time of endoscopic ultrasound are likely to exclude you from a liver transplantation.
