ABSTRACT: Background
The sampling of vascular obstruction diseases remains a challenge in clinical practice. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of intravascular forceps biopsy (IVFB) for the diagnosis of vascular obstructive diseases.Methods
From January 2015 to January 2022, of the total of 35 patients who underwent IVFB (21 male, 14 female; mean age 60±11 years; range, 39-81 years), 32 (91.4%) did so during interventional planned revascularization procedures and 3 (8.6%) did so due so due to inaccessible or failed percutaneous access. The outcomes of technical success, biopsy times, patient radiation dose (PRD), complications, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy rate (AR) were analyzed.Results
The technical success of IVFB was 100%. The median number of biopsies taken per biopsy session and PRD were 4.0 (range, 3-6) and 712.6 mGy (range, 383.4-1,450.8), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and AR of IVFB were 87.5% (21/24), 100% (11/11), 100% (21/21), 78.6% (11/14), and 91.4% (32/35), respectively. There were no complications related to IVFB.Conclusions
IVFB is a technically feasible and safe technique with good diagnostic value. The procedure should be considered in patients who are not suitable for percutaneous access, show indistinct imaging characteristics, or are scheduled to undergo revascularization procedure.
