Abstract

AIM: To review our results of endomyocardial biopsy series and related complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We reviewed the hospital charts, pathology results and catheterization laboratory data of the biopsy patients retrospectively. RESULTS: Eighty-five biopsy procedures were performed to 63 patients aged 17-60. Three of these were cardiac transplantation patients and 25 of 85 procedures were performed in these-ones. The initial diagnosis of the 60 patients were : cardiomyopathy in 44 patients (% 73), myocarditis in 11 patients (% 18), for constrictive pericarditis/restrictive cardiomyopathy diagnosis in 3 patients (% 5), arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in 2 patients (% 3,5). There were 3 minor complications in 85 procedures (% 3.5) CONCLUSIONS: Endomyocardial biopsy, obligatory to perform in cardiac transplantation patients, may also help in unexplained heart failure (especially in the diastolic form) is a safe procedure with low complication rates.

Özet

AMAÇ: Endomyokardiyal biyopsi uygulamasıyla elde ettiğimiz sonuçları, serimizdeki komplikasyon oranlarını bildirmek. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Endomyokardial biyopsi uygulanan hastaların dosya kayıtları, patoloji raporları, hemodinamik çalışma kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. BULGULAR: Yaşları 17-60 arası değişen 63 hastaya 85 endomyokardiyal biyopsi yapıldı.Hastaların 3'ü kalp nakli yapılmış olgulardı ve bunlara toplam 25 kez biyopsi yapıldı. Diğer 60 hastanın ön tanıları; kardiyomyopati 44 hasta (% 73), myokardit 11 hasta (% 18), konstriktif perikardit-restriktif kardiyomyopati ayırıcı tanısı amacıyla 3 hasta (% 5), sağ ventrikül displazisi ön tanısıyla 2 hasta (% 3) şeklindeydi. Seksen beş biyopsi işleminde 3 hastada minör komplikasyonlar izlendi (% 3.5). SONUÇ: Endomiyokardiyal biyopsi özellikle kalp nakli yapılmış hastaların rejeksiyon izleminde zorunlu uygulanan, nedeni açıklanamayan özellikle diyastolik kalp yetmezliklerinde tanıya yardımcı olabilen, düşük komplikasyonlu güvenilir bir işlemdir.
