Image-guided biopsies are one of the most common requests received by radiologists, and while most are straightforward, some lesions are not amenable to percutaneous sampling due to location or depth. Advances in intravascular ultrasound combined with the principles of non-targeted transvenous solid organ biopsy allow for direct visualization and successful targeted transvenous biopsies of solid organ and perivascular lesions. Here, we present our technique and three example cases of transvenous biopsies.

Cardiology, AIIMS, New Delhi, India
A young man in his 30s presented to us with multiple episodes of syncope and exertional dyspnoea for the last 2 weeks. He was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower one-third of the oesophagus in 2021 for which he was treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by McKeown oesophagectomy. At 2-year follow-up, he had developed a soft tissue swelling in the scalp, which was diagnosed as a tumour recurrence and radiotherapy was initiated.

Background: Long-term controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) in intensive care unit (ICU) induces ventilatory-induced-diaphragm-dysfunction (VIDD). The transition from CMV to assisted mechanical ventilation is a challenge that requires clinicians to balance over-assistance and under-assistance. While the effects of over-assistance on the diaphragm are well known, we aimed to assess the impact of under-assistance on diaphragm function and structure in piglet model with pre-existing VIDD (after long-term CMV) or without VIDD (short-term CMV).

Undifferentiated cardiac tumors represent a diagnostic dilemma that requires meticulous workup. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with a right atrial mass that was investigated with multiple modalities before being diagnosed as a cardiac lymphoma. The role of transvenous and/or percutaneous biopsy for guiding diagnosis and management is emphasized.
