This report provides the presumptive first description of the angiographic findings of a cavernous hemangioma of the heart, characterized by dilated blood spaces with prolonged contrast persistence.
Alerts clinicians to angiographic features of rare cardiac hemangioma; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
The angiographic findings in a patient with an interesting vascular tumor of the right atrium are described. The tumor was supplied by vessels from both the right and left coronary arteries and consisted of dilated blood spaces in which contrast material persisted for a prolonged period of time. Since this picture is identical to that described in cavernous hemangioma of other organs, this report presumably represents the first description of the angiographic findings in a cavernous hemangioma of the heart.
