“…Effects included a decrease in pulmonary artery pressures, increased cardiac output, and improved blood oxygenation (5,12,13). Three studies found value in the use of iNO as a selective pulmonary vasodilator after thromboendarterectomy for chronic pulmonary embolism, particularly in a setting of reperfusion edema (10,14,15). The two cases presented here illustrate the potential usefulness of iNO in association with percutaneous catheter therapy for acute pulmonary embolism.…”

“…In general, primary sarcomas of the heart include angiosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, and liposarcomas (72). Of note, primary cardiac liposarcoma has been documented in several case reports (73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78), and it is important to distinguish this tumor from benign lipomas. Malignant neoplasms of the heart may metastasize by local spread within the thorax or metastasize distantly, most commonly to the spine (41,51,(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68).…”

Overall, the prevalence of primary cardiac neoplasms is approximately 0.3% and these masses should be distinguished from the myriad of other primary and secondary processes that can occur in the heart. Tumors within, attached to, or near the heart can cause direct cardiac damage, can result in thrombus formation, can compromise blood flow and can embolize distally. Hence, proper diagnosis is clinically important. It has been suggested that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a useful tool for diagnosing and characterizing cardiac tumors. In this report, we present a case example of a patient with a large, mobile right atrial myxoma imaged by CMR with results of histopathologic analysis after excision. We also demonstrate the utilization of CMR for characterization of cardiac lesions, review the basic characteristics of primary cardiac neoplasms, provide an overview of published cases describing use of CMR, and give suggested guidelines for imaging of cardiac masses with emphasis on diagnosis of cardiac tumors. CMR is an important technique for diagnosing and characterizing cardiac tumors.
