Abstract

Cross-sectional interventional radiology procedures can be performed using a range of techniques with approaches varying across institutions. One area in which practices for these procedures may differ is in the use of moderate sedation. This perspective discusses the pros and cons of using moderate sedation for deep organ biopsies commonly experienced in radiology departments.
