MRI in T2 sequence and coronarography are useful for assessing the resectability of highly vascularized cardiac paragangliomas.
May aid resectability planning with MRI and coronarography in cardiac pheochromocytoma; leaves open confirmation in prospective studies.
Paraganglioma of the heart are potentially invasive, highly vascularized tumors for which complete resection may be curative. Derived from the cardiac wall in most instances, resectability can be assessed after integration of the data provided by MRI in T2 sequence, and coronarography. A fully documented case of a large cardiac pheochromocytoma of the left atrium and AV groove is reported and the pertinent literature on the subject is here presented.
