A new biopsy catheter specifically made for left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy is described. The biopsy catheter is equipped with a device enabling one to bend the tip at will by rotating a knob on the operating handle. The rate of success in obtaining left ventricular biopsy specimens was very high (100%) and there were no serious complications in a group of 10 dogs and in five patients with cardiomyopathy.
本文描述了一种专门为左心室心内膜活检制造的新型活检导管。该活检导管配备了一种装置，通过旋转操作手柄上的旋钮可随意弯曲导管尖端。在一组10只犬和5例心肌病患者中，获取左心室活检标本的成功率非常高（100%），且未出现严重并发症。
