The evolution in device optimization and technique modification to the endomyocardial
biopsy (EMB) procedure over many decades has resulted in a relatively easy, straightforward,
safe, and effective tool for pathological evaluation.

Early techniques for obtaining myocardial biopsies, including percutaneous needle
biopsy of the left ventricle, catheter needle biopsy of the interventricular septum,
and open thoracotomy, are now simplified to percutaneous biopsies via the right internal
jugular vein to the right ventricle under local anesthesia.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
