Fig 1 Endomyocardial biopsy specimen before implantation of LVAD reveals a characteristic infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and a few neutrophils in a mildly edematous interstitium. The myocardial fibers appear generally intact. (Hematoxylin and eosin; ×400 before 52% reduction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (99) )
3
Fig 2 Endomyocardial biopsy specimen 1 month after removal of LVAD reveals a diffuse but unevenly developed increase in cellularity because of a light influx of mononuclear cells, lymphocytes, and histiocytes within the interstitium. Slight vacuolar change can be seen within some fibers. (Hematoxylin and eosin. ×400 before 52% reduction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (99) )
