Abstract
Atrial mass resection is possible in a limited number of dogs with hemangio sarcoma in which only the right atrial appendage or atrial free wail is inv olved. A pericardial patch graft can be used to reconstruct the right atrium after resection of large atrial tumors. Tumor-free margins can be obtained by use of this technique.
