CT-guided abdominal FNA (fine needle aspiration)

PAAF (Punción) Abdominal guiada por TC

It consists in obtaining a tissue sample from a specific lesion located in the abdominal cavity. This test is performed using local anaesthesia on the puncture area, which is administered with fine-gauge needles. The entire procedure is monitored using images obtained by computed tomography (CT) at various stages of the puncture, using CT fluoroscopy. After the test, the patient remains under observation in hospital for a few hours. Coagulation tests must be performed before the test.
