Sterile Abscess in the Myocardium after Direct Intramyocardial Injection Related to Gene Therapy in a Swine Model

الملخص EN

Cardiac gene therapy is one of the most promising approaches to cure patients with cardiac dysfunctions.

Many ways of efficient gene transfer using viral vectors are tested, and some of them are already used in clinical settings.

However, it is always important to be keenly alert to the possible complications when a new therapy is introduced.

We present a case of myocardial sterile abscess in a swine model associated with a direct myocardial injection.
