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.
