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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Endomyocardial biopsy: a 21st century diagnostic tool

Polish Journal of Pathology, 2022
The question of the utility of Endomyocardial Biopsy (EMB) often and recurrently raises. It is claimed that the image techniques provide identical results without the risks of an invasive procedure.

Heart transplant rejection pathology [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2022
Background/Aim. Heart transplantation is the most effective way to treat patients in the terminal stage of heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsy has proven to be a safe and appropriate technique, with little sampling error, and remains, to this day, one ...
