Description
A peer-reviewed research article from Europe PMC (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. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)Key Words: cardiac transplant, computed tomography, x-ray fluoroscopy
Performing endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) can be challenging, particularly without transthoracic echocardiography guidance, because of the risk of injury to the right ventricular (RV) free wall and tricuspid valve apparatus.
