[Value of the transjugular venous approach to the liver in the diagnosis of cirrhosis. 333 cases].

The transjugular technique is very useful for the diagnosis of cirrhosis since it makes it possible, in one single exploratory procedure, to perform a needle aspiration biopsy (despite coagulation disorders and ascites) and to measure the porto-caval pressure gradient. In our series cirrhosis was diagnosed by liver biopsy alone in 249 out of 333 patients (77%), and the porto-caval gradient was found to be elevated in 313 patients (97%).
