Multimodal imaging (TEE/CMR) and 3D printing are valuable tools for the accurate diagnosis and surgical planning of rare cardiac blood cysts.
May support multimodal imaging with 3D printing for rare cardiac cysts; hypothesis-generating for advanced planning in minimally invasive resection.
This article reports a 59-year-old female with RA-IVC junction mass was initially suspected of old thrombus with ineffective anticoagulation. Multimodal imaging (TEE/CMR) and 3D printing facilitated diagnosis and surgery. Minimally invasive resection and histopathology confirmed a rare cardiac blood cyst, highlighting multimodal imaging's value for such lesions.

Peng et al. (2026) studied this question. Multimodal imaging (TEE/CMR) and 3D printing facilitated the accurate diagnosis and successful surgical resection of a rare cardiac blood cyst initially misdiagnosed as a thrombus.
