In the 33-month period April 1985 to December 1987, endomyocardial biopsy was performed 314 times in 23 patients with orthotopic (21) or heterotopic (2) heart transplants at Baptist Medical Center. The technique is described. Adequate tissue was obtained in 99% of cases and there was only one complication from the procedure. Mild to severe acute rejection was seen in 105 specimens (33%). The histopathological interpretation has proved invaluable in the care of patients with heart transplants.
在1985年4月至1987年12月的33个月期间，浸信会医疗中心对23例接受原位（21例）或异位（2例）心脏移植的患者进行了314次心内膜心肌活检。本文描述了该技术。99%的病例获取到了足够的组织，该操作仅出现1例并发症。105份标本（33%）出现了轻度至重度急性排斥反应。组织病理学解释在心脏移植患者的护理中已证明具有极高价值。
