Key result
CMR angiography identifies a saphenous vein graft aneurysm masquerading as a right atrial mass on TEE.
Why the study?
Large saphenous vein graft aneurysms can mimic right atrial masses, complicating diagnosis and management.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Combined imaging modalities, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance angiography, are crucial for the accurate diagnosis and management of complex cardiac masses such as saphenous vein graft aneurysms.
We report a case of a large saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm masquerading as a right atrial mass on transesophageal echocardiogram. Cardiac magnetic resonance angiography reliably made a diagnosis of SVG aneurysm extrinsically compressing right atrium. This case illustrates the importance of using combined imaging modalities for the diagnosis and management of cardiac masses.
