Role of Endomyocardial Biopsy in Diagnostics of Myocarditis [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2022
Endomyocardial biopsy as the cornerstone of diagnostics has been re-evaluated throughout the years, leaving unanswered questions on the precedence of it. The reported incidence of myocarditis has increased during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (

Right or left endomyocardial biopsy? A systematic review with meta-analysis about complications and safety [PDF]

JHLT Open, 2023
Background: Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure used to diagnose myocarditis and investigate other nonischaemic cardiomyopathies. However, it is still contentious whether right ventricle endomyocardial biopsy (RV-EMB) is safer than left ...

Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging Guidance Improves the Diagnostic Yield of Endomyocardial Biopsy [PDF]

JACC Basic To Translational Science, 2016
Diagnostic yield of endomyocardial biopsy is low, particularly in disease that affects the myocardium in a nonuniform distribution. The authors hypothesized that real-time MRI guidance could improve the yield through targeted biopsy of focal myocardial ...

Accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in myocarditis: comparison of MR and histological findings in an animal model [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2010
Background Because Endomyocardial Biopsy has low sensitivity of about 20%, it can be performed near to myocardium that presented as Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

Endomyocardial biopsy

EuroIntervention
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) has evolved from a single-indication test for the early diagnosis and monitoring of heart transplant rejection to the gold-standard technique to reach a definite and aetiological diagnosis in different cardiac disorders such as myocarditis and cardiomyopathies.

Endomyocardial Biopsy [PDF]

, 2019
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a useful diagnostic tool for the investigation and treatment of myocardial diseases. An extensive use of EMBs is impossible because this technique is invariably characterized by a mild, but not negligible, rate of major ...

The Role of CT-Guided Optimal Fluoroscopic Viewing Angle to Guide Right Endomyocardial Biopsy [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
We report the case of a 64-year-old man with a history of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy requiring heart transplant in 2022 who underwent successful endomyocardial biopsy using patient-specific computed tomographic fluoroscopic projections.

Clinical relevance and outcome of routine endomyocardial biopsy to detect rejection after heart transplantation [PDF]

JHLT Open
Background: Endomyocardial biopsy has been the cornerstone of monitoring rejection after heart transplantation for decades. Although recommendations advise routine biopsies during the first 3-12 months, this timeframe is broad, and intercenter ...

Tricuspid regurgitation after endomyocardial biopsy

Formosan Journal of Surgery, 2021
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively uncommon complication subsequent to endomyocardial biopsy. We are reporting a 21-year-old male who underwent biopsy 13 times following heart transplantation.
