Case Report (n=1)
Transesophageal echocardiography can be effectively used to guide transvenous endomyocardial biopsy for the diagnosis of rare primary cardiac tumors.
Hammoudeh et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac angiosarcoma (right atrial tumor) (n=1). Transesophageal echocardiography-guided transvenous endomyocardial biopsy was evaluated on Diagnosis of primary cardiac angiosarcoma. Transesophageal echocardiography was successfully utilized to guide a transvenous endomyocardial biopsy for the diagnosis of a right atrial primary cardiac angiosarcoma in a 35-year-old man.
