Application of the cine computed tomographic scan for precise localization of the origin of an atrial myxoma: surgical implications
P Seifert, EV Chomka, R Stagl, D Swarner, BH Brundage and S Levitsky
Noninvasive imaging techniques are preferred for the diagnosis of
intracardiac tumors. A case is presented in which cine computed tomographic
scan of an atrial myxoma provided more accurate localization of the tumor
and led to modification of the operative approach.
