BACKGROUND: Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) uptake in the internal oblique muscle (IOM), which is often observed in patients with wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA), indicates amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) deposition.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of 99mTc-PYP imaging-based computed tomography (CT)-guided core-needle biopsy of the IOM as a new extracardiac screening biopsy for confirming the presence of ATTR deposits.
METHODS: Patients with suspected ATTR-CA in whom myocardial tracer uptake was detected on chest- and abdomen-centered images of 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy underwent CT-guided core-needle biopsy at the site with the highest tracer uptake in the IOM between September 2021 and November 2022.
RESULTS: All 18 consecutive patients (mean age, 86.3 years ± 6.5; 61.1% male) enrolled in the study showed 99mTc-PYP uptake into the IOM. Adequate tissue samples were obtained from all patients except one without serious complications. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed ATTR deposits in 16/18 (88.9%) patients. In the remaining two patients, ATTR deposits were observed via endomyocardial biopsy. All patients were diagnosed with wild-type ATTR-CA based on transthyretin gene sequence testing results.
CONCLUSION: In wild-type ATTR-CA, 99mTc-PYP imaging-based CT-guided core-needle biopsy of the IOM could be used as an extracardiac screening biopsy to confirm the presence of ATTR deposits.
