Key result
Multimodal echo and cardiac MRI identifies a rare tricuspid valve blood cyst.
Why the study?
Blood-filled cysts within the heart are common in fetuses and infants but are very rare in adolescents and adults.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodal imaging combining echocardiography and MRI is valuable for diagnosing rare cardiac masses such as blood-filled cysts in adults.

May aid diagnosis of rare adult tricuspid cysts; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Kalçık et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Blood-filled cyst of the tricuspid valve (n=1). Multimodal diagnostic imaging (echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging) was evaluated. Multimodal diagnostic imaging combining echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging successfully identified a rare blood-filled cyst attached to the tricuspid valve in an adult patient.
