This is particularly applicable to the cardiomyopathies, and it is in this context that the majority of biopsies which we have performed have been done (Table 1). The advantage of

متن کاملRealtime MR guided endomyocardial biopsy with an active visualization bioptome
Background Invasive endomyocardial biopsy is an important tool to diagnose cardiomyopathy. But the diagnostic yield is low because the procedure is performed ‘blind’ using, particularly in processes characterized by heterogeneous myocardial involvement. MRI tissue characterization techniques, using late gadolinium enhancement or T1 mapping for example, can identify affected regions and guide bi...
متن کاملReal-time magnetic resonance imaging guidance improves the diagnostic yield of endomyocardial biopsy.
BACKGROUND Diagnostic yield of endomyocardial biopsy is low, particularly in disease that affects the myocardium in a non-uniform distribution. We hypothesized that real-time MRI guidance could improve the yield through targeted biopsy of focal myocardial pathology. METHODS An animal model of focal myocardial pathology was created by infusing 3mL of fluorescent microspheres (NuFlow Hydrocoat,...
متن کاملInsensitivity of right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy in the diagnosis of myocarditis.
The clinical suspicion of myocarditis relies strongly on endomyocardial biopsy for confirmation, yet the sensitivity of the procedure in this setting has not been clearly defined. Biopsy sensitivity was determined in 14 hearts with histologically proved myocarditis studied ex vivo, including 12 autopsy hearts and 2 native hearts explanted at cardiac transplantation. With use of the Stanford and...
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...
