Implication

Supports BM vigilance in cardiac angiosarcoma; leaves open optimal surveillance and hemorrhage management strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

26 consecutive patients with cardiac angiosarcomas who developed brain metastases, identified from a departmental database of 103 patients treated between 1988 and 2020.

Outcome

Outcomes and intracranial hemorrhage (IH) risk, including terminal hemorrhage (TH) causing death or hospice transferhard clinical

Patients with cardiac angiosarcoma have a high prevalence of brain metastases and a high risk of fatal intracranial hemorrhage despite normal platelet counts, highlighting the need for surveillance brain imaging and prompt local therapy.
