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 ...

The challenge to detect heart transplant rejection and transplant vasculopathy non-invasively a pilot study [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2009 Background Cardiac allograft rejection and vasculopathy are the main factors limiting long-term survival after heart transplantation. In this pilot study we investigated whether non-invasive methods are beneficial to detect cardiac allograft rejection ...

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).

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