Abstract

A 48-year-old man presented with chest pain and ischemic manifestations according to an electrocardiogram due to coronary artery compression from a cardiac mass and was admitted to the emergency room and underwent extensive debulking followed by right atrium and ventricular three-dimensional reconstruction with concomitant tricuspid valve remodeling. He recovered a normal sinus rhythm and was discharged from the hospital a week later with a diagnosis of cardiac malignant angiosarcoma according to the pathological examination. He survived and had a normal cardiac structure and function performance, but vertebral metastasis was suspected after more than 4 months of follow-up after the procedure.

Keywords: cardiac angiosarcoma; metastasis; minimally invasive surgical procedures; myocardial ischemia.
