title: Atrial and pulmonary mass: intracardiac thrombus mimicking myxoma on multiplane transesophageal echocardiography.
abstract: Transesophageal echocardiography is the method of choice for investigating suspected intracardiac masses. It also plays a valuable role in the detection of central pulmonary artery embolism. We present a case that highlights the use of transesophageal echocardiography for imaging of a mass in the right atrium and the right pulmonary artery.
