Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography is the method of choice for investiga ting suspected intracardiac masses. It also plays a valuable role in t ile detection of central pulmonary artery embolism. We present a case that highlights the use of transesophageal echocardiography for imagin g of a mass in the right atrium and the right pulmonary artery.
