A Successful Case of Complete Resection With Preservation of the Right Coronary Artery in an Infiltrative Cardiac Hemangioma Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography

Cardiac hemangiomas are rare benign tumors that can arise anywhere in the heart. Complete surgical resection is recommended; however, if the tumor is extensive and invades the surrounding structures, resection may require sacrificing involved tissue. This report describes a case in which a substantial cardiac hemangioma encircling the right coronary artery was completely excised using epicardial echocardiography and indocyanine green fluorescence angiography. We discuss the utility of these modalities during surgery.

Abstract

Cardiac hemangiomas are rare benign tumors that can arise anywhere in the heart. Complete surgical resection is recommended; however, if the tumor is extensive and invades the surrounding structures, resection may require sacrificing involved tissue. This report describes a case in which a substantial cardiac hemangioma encircling the right coronary artery was completely excised using epicardial echocardiography and indocyanine green fluorescence angiography. We discuss the utility of these modalities during surgery.
