A 71-year-old male patient underwent orthotopic heart transplantation in 1995. Due to left heart catheterization 15 years later, biopsy from the left ventricular apex was performed for rejection screening. Two days later, echocardiography revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation requiring mitral valve replacement. This is a very rare case showing that left heart biopsy may lead to severe hemodynamic complications with the need for surgical intervention.
一名71岁男性患者于1995年接受原位心脏移植。15年后因左心导管检查,从左心室心尖进行活检以筛查排斥反应。两天后,超声心动图显示严重二尖瓣反流,需要进行二尖瓣置换。这是一个非常罕见的病例,表明左心活检可能导致严重的血流动力学并发症,需要手术干预。
