Highlights the potential proembolic significance of a right atrial lipoma, especially when coexisting with a patent foramen ovale, and the utility of CMR for diagnosis.
Censi et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Recurrent ischemic stroke, patent foramen ovale, right atrial lipoma (n=1). Transcatheter closure of PFO and diagnostic imaging (TEE, CMR) was evaluated. A right atrial lipoma was incidentally discovered by transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in a young man undergoing transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale for recurrent ischemic stroke.
