Endomyocardial Biopsy of Heart Tumors under Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Control

https://doi.org/10.37174/2587-7593-2024-7-1-62-72

Abstract

Tumors of the heart are rare entities characterized by the absence of specific signs and symptoms. A biopsy is necessary for verify the diagnosis and determine the most correct treatment tactics. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a modern and relatively safe approach for biopsy of cardiac tumors. Usually this procedure performs under the control of fluoroscopy and echocardiography (intracardiac, transthoracic, transesophageal). However, this procedure is rarely used in patients with suspected cardiac malignancy.

We present two clinical cases of endomyocardial biopsy of cardiac tumors by the endovascular approach under the control of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The biopsy was successful in both cases and pathological diagnosis was established.
