ABSTRACT:
In a method for obtaining a biopsy of tissues of an internal organ of a patient, such as a liver or spleen, an incision is formed in a blood vessel of the vascular system of the patient and a biopsy device including a flexible elongate tubular member and a biopsy-taking component at a distal end of the tubular member is inserted through the incision into the blood vessel. The biopsy device is manipulated from outside the patient to maneuver the distal end portion of the device through the vascular system to the internal organ. A blood vessel wall in the organ is pierced with a sharp distal tip of the biopsy device upon arrival of the biopsy means at the internal organ. The biopsy device is pushed so that the biopsy-taking component enters the internal organ, the biopsy-taking component being operated to capture a sample of tissues of the internal organ. Subsequently, the biopsy device with the captured tissue sample is removed from the vascular system of the patient through the blood vessel and the incision.
