Early Experience with Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Guidance of Right Ventricular Biopsy in Children

Abstract: The use of real-time transthoracic 3DE in endomyocardial right ventricular biopsies in children is both feasible and safe. Further study to determine the impact of real-time 3DE guidance on fluoroscopy and case times for endomyocardial biopsies is warranted.

“…The feasibility and utility of 3D transthoracic echocardiography for guidance of RV endomyocardial biopsies in children has also been demonstrated. 82 Assessment of RV function is of great interest in cardiovascular surgery, because right-sided heart failure is one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality after valvular and congenital surgery, coronary artery bypass, and heart transplantation. This highlights the importance of an accurate preoperative assessment of the right ventricle to improve risk stratification and early and precise postoperative follow-up to optimize treatment.…”
