Does cardiac catheterization and selective coronary angiography provide diagnostic information in patients with intracardiac tumors?

Population

10 patients with intracardiac tumors (left atrial myxoma n=7, right atrial myxoma n=1, angiosarcoma of right heart n=1, and right ventricular tumor n=1)

Intervention

Cardiac catheterization and selective coronary angiography

Outcome

Coronary arteriographic findings (neovascularization, filling defect, displacement)surrogate

Selective coronary angiography in patients with intracardiac tumors is safe and frequently reveals tumor neovascularization, particularly in myxomas.
