Abstract
Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy can be obtained successfully with a manually shaped flexible disposable bioptome introduced in the right jugular vein. Introduction of a curve at the tip provides better control of the bioptome so that a short introducer sheath can be used and the right ventricular sampling site can be varied.Keywords
