May support surgical feasibility for local control in right atrial angiosarcoma; leaves open survival benefit amid metastatic disease.
Case Report (n=1)
Extensive resection and autologous pericardial reconstruction for right atrial angiosarcoma is surgically feasible, though long-term prognosis remains poor due to metastatic disease.
Benassi et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac angiosarcoma (n=1). Extensive resection of the atrial wall and autologous pericardial free atrial wall reconstruction was evaluated on Patient survival and clinical outcome. Extensive resection and autologous pericardial reconstruction for right atrial angiosarcoma yielded an optimal early outcome, though the patient died 15 months later from metastases.
