The performance of echocardiographic synovial biopsy is a minimally invasive technique for synovial tissue collection, being safe and well tolerated by patients with rare complications.

 

It avoids the costly costs of the biopsy performed in the operative block, reducing the patient's morbidity, being a technique that can be performed in an outpatient clinic.

 

Synovial biopsies can allow histological examinations of RNA among others, identifying tissue lesions and monitoring early stages of rheumatoid arthritis or other joint pathologies.
