Diagnosis of right atrial mass lesions by transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography.
The echocardiographic findings by transesophageal and transthoracic techniques were compared in 16 patients with right atrial mass lesions diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography. In only 8 of the 16 patients were the masses imaged by transthoracic echocardiography. Masses in the main body of the right atrium (three of five), as well as those associated with indwelling catheters and pacer...
متن کاملRight atrial pacemaker lead thrombosis incidentally detected by transesophageal echocardiography.
In a 62-year-old man with permanent atrial fibrillation and recurrent stroke, a large right atrial thrombus attached to a permanent pacemaker lead was incidentally identified by transesophageal echocardiography. Surgical treatment, recommended because of the large dimensions of the mass, was refused by the patient, and thrombus was successfully dissolved by anticoagulant treatment. Pathogenesis...
متن کاملMisdiagnosed right atrial tumor identified by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
A 16-year-old male patient was referred to our institution due to occasional chest tightness for one month. Electrocardiogram showed some atrioventricular junctional beats. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a hyperechoic mass about 1.4 × 0.5 cm in size in the right atrium. He was then scheduled for operation under the impression of possible right atrial myxoma. After general anesthesia, a...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography of right atrial metastasis of a hepatocellular carcinoma.
Antemortem diagnosis of cardiac metastases of a hepatocellular carcinoma is rarely observed. In a 52-year-old female patient with a history of posthepatitic cirrhosis and partial hepatectomy, transthoracic echocardiography brought to light a mass in the right atrium. After location and characterization of the tumor by transesophageal echocardiography, a transvenous biopsy confirmed the diagnosi...
متن کاملTransthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis and surgical management of right atrial myxoma.
An asymptomatic patient was discovered to have a large right atrial myxoma by transthoracic echocardiography. Preoperative considerations included the possibility of satellite lesions, left atrial origin, and a question of tricuspid valve involvement. Subsequent operative transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated single-stalk attachment in the right atrial septal wall and no satellite lesio...
