Does surveillance Endomyocardial Biopsy in the Modern Era produce Low Diagnostic Yield for Cardiac Allograft Rejection?
The clinical yield of surveillance EMB has decreased in the modern era. The EMB in asymptomatic patients longer than 6 months after HT warrants further scrutiny.
The volume reduction of BDG preceding TCPC allows for any afterload mismatch to be corrected, thereby improving ventricular energetics after TCPC.
