Abstract EN
We report a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade.
She was diagnosed with a right atrial mass by computed tomography and was referred to our institution for biopsy of this mass.
Transcatheter biopsy was performed with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance, avoiding the need for transesophageal echocardiography or surgery to obtain the biopsy.
ICE for transcatheter biopsy of an intracardiac mass is an attractive modality which provides precise localization of the cardiac structures.
