Coil embolization of coronary supply to a cardiac metastasis

Am J Cardiol. 1999 Mar 1;83(5):809-10, A11. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)01002-9.

Abstract

Coil embolization of tumor-related coronary arteries was successful in interrupting coronary supply to a cardiac metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma. In patients with cardiac metastases of highly malignant tumors this may be a palliative therapeutic approach.
