  • Safety and utility of the routine surveillance biopsy in pediatric patients 2 years after heart transplantation.

    Chin C, Akhtar MJ, Rosenthal DN, Bernstein D. J Pediatr. 2000; 136 (2): 238-42

    The standard for diagnosing allograft rejection after heart transplantation is the endomyocardial biopsy, but the value of routine surveillance biopsies after 2 years after transplant is controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the necessity and safety of surveillance biopsies and to correlate rejection with signs and symptoms beyond the second post-transplant anniversary in pediatric patients.
