Complications of 2-D Echocardiography Guided Transfemoral Right Ventricular Endomyocardial Biopsy
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMBx) is a useful tool for diagnosing various cardiac pathologies. However, the routine use of EMBx has not gained widespread acceptance due to the possible complications related to the EMBx. Thus, not much information is available on the complications related to the EMBx. We prospectively evaluated 90 consecutive patients who underwent 2-D echocardiography guided transfe...
متن کاملEndomyocardial Biopsy Guided by Echocardiography
In the recent year, transcatheter endomyocardial biopsy is a procedure relatively simple that has been increasingly utilized in cardiomyopathy diagnosis. It is estimated that over 50,000 biopsies are performed annually in the United States in general to control rejection episodes after heart transplantation. Endomyocardial biopsy plays important role in the diagnosis and treatment of adult and ...
متن کاملEndomyocardial Biopsy of Right Atrial Angiosarcoma Guided by Intracardiac Echocardiography
We report a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. She was diagnosed with a right atrial mass by computed tomography and was referred to our institution for biopsy of this mass. Transcatheter biopsy was performed with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance, avoiding the need for transesophageal echocardiography or surgery to obtain the ...
متن کاملEndomyocardial biopsy guided by cross-sectional echocardiography.
The usefulness of cross-sectional echocardiography during endomyocardial biopsy was examined in 10 consecutive patients with myocardial disease of undetermined origin. Twenty-eight endomyocardial biopsies were obtained from the left ventricle and 34 from the right ventricle. Echocardiography was performed simultaneously with monitoring of the biopsy procedure by means of fluoroscopy, pressure m...
متن کاملEchocardiography in the diagnosis of right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis.
Twenty-one patients with endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) and right ventricular involvement were studied by M-mode echocardiography. All 21 patients showed echocardiographic findings consisting of (i) increased right ventricular dimension, (ii) paradoxical septal motion, (lii) increased right ventricular outflow dimension (iv) thickening of the right ventricular anterior wall with increased right ...
