Not All That Glitters: Multimodal Diagnosis of Cardiac Blood Cysts
This article reports a 59-year-old female with RA-IVC junction mass was initially suspected of old thrombus with ineffective anticoagulation. Multimodal imaging (TEE/CMR) and 3D printing facilitated diagnosis and surgery. Minimally invasive resection and histopathology confirmed a rare cardiac blood cyst, highlighting multimodal imaging's value for such lesions.
