Why the study?

Preoperative multimodal imaging is important to determine cardiac paraganglioma location, vascular supply, and surrounding structural relationships to aid non-invasive diagnosis and localization.

Population

Overview

Multimodal imaging may refine preoperative planning for rare cardiac paraganglioma; leaves open prospective validation in larger series.

Structured PICO

P
Population
A 67-year-old woman with paroxysmal palpitations, a 5-year history of hypertension, and a right atrial mass.
I
Intervention
Multimodality imaging including computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and 18F-FDG PET/CT, followed by surgical resection.
O
Outcome
Preoperative non-invasive diagnosis, localization, and staging of cardiac paraganglioma.

Multimodal imaging combining CT, CMR, and 18F-FDG PET/CT is effective for the preoperative diagnosis, localization, and staging of cardiac paraganglioma.
