Abstract

Various vascular and nonvascular hepatobiliary interventional radiology techniques are now commonly performed in children's hospitals. Although the procedures are broadly similar to interventional practice in adults, there are important differences in indications and technical aspects. This review describes the indications, techniques, and results of liver biopsy, hepatic and portal venous interventions and biliary interventions in children.
