Recurrent Cardiac Sarcoma Resection With Modified Partial Autotransplantation

JACC Case Rep. 2021 Nov 3;3(15):1694-1699. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2021.08.005.

Abstract

Primary cardiac sarcomas are very aggressive, being a challenge to cardio-oncology specialty. Surgical planning and innovative techniques have enhanced the possibility of resection. We have described a case of recurrent primary left atrium angiosarcoma, successfully resected with a modified partial autotransplantation technique, planned using a 3-dimensional model created from computed tomography. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
