This is an observational study that will recruit NYU Langone patients undergoing standard of care right ventricle endomyocardial biopsy. Patients who undergo planned RV-EMB via transbrachial access will be invited to take part in the study.
Data including severity of tricuspid regurgitation and tamponade from pre and post procedure bedside echocardiograms, total procedure duration, radiation exposure and fluoroscopy time, sedatives used (if any) and bleeding/hematoma formation (if any) will be collected. A post-procedural survey will be administered to patients by study staff to assess comfort level and anxiety during procedure. A post procedure phone call will take place 3-5 days after procedure to assess for bruising, swelling or bleeding at the site of Brachial RV-EMB.
