A member asked:
How long does the needle byopsy procedure take and is it safe enough for someone who has had aorta bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needle biopsy: These procedures are extremely safe. Thousands are done every single day all over the country and the world. If you are on an anti-coagulant you will need to stop a few days before the procedure. Talk with your doctor.
