Key result
En bloc resection with bovine pericardium reconstruction successfully removes right atrial angiosarcoma without residual disease.
Why the study?
Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy that often presents with nonspecific symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis, making early detection through multimodality imaging essential for management.
Population
A 44-year-old woman with a right atrial mass

May support resection feasibility in select cardiac angiosarcoma; leaves open need for prospective survival data.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of multimodality imaging in diagnosing cardiac tumors and demonstrates the feasibility of extensive right atrial resection with reconstruction for cardiac angiosarcoma.
Shahani et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Right atrial epithelioid angiosarcoma (n=1). Open-heart surgery with complete en bloc resection and reconstruction was evaluated on Postoperative recovery and disease status. Complete en bloc resection and reconstruction using bovine pericardium was successfully performed in a 44-year-old woman with right atrial epithelioid angiosarcoma, with no residual disease.
