Abstract
An 18-year-old female with multiple intra-cardiac masses was further evaluated using percutaneous endomyocardial biopsy of the right ventricle and right atrium. Fluoroscopy was used to visualize the course of the bioptome and simultaneous two-dimensional echo-cardiography was used to image the masses thus improving the surgeon' chance of obtaining diagnostic tissue.Keywords
