Anterior subcostal percutaneous liver biopsy using the Tru-cut disposable needle is safe and simple; there were no major complications in our experience. It avoids completely the known thoracic complications of the posterior or lateral approach to percutaneous liver biopsy and has the added benefit of making any of the remaining complications easier to manage.
