Angiographic clues for a cardiac mass

It is widely known, particularly among surgical teams, that malignancies occasionally occur within the heart. Around 75% of all cardiac tumors are benign. Coronary angiography of malignancies frequently reveals late opacification of a well-vascularized heart tumor, referred to as “tumor blush.” The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the importance of coronary angiography in the work-up of a cardiac tumor.
