Transjugular Biopsy of a Right Atrial Mass Under Intracardiac Echocardiographic Guidance

Biopsy of cardiac tumors to obtain a tissue diagnosis has been performed under echocardiographic (transthoracic or transesophageal) or fluoroscopic guidance. We report successful transjugular biopsy of a right atrial mass using intracardiac echocardiographic guidance.
