Investigation of cystic left ventricular masses with echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
We report on two patients who had cystic masses located in the left ventricle associated with findings of congestive heart failure. Both echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were helpful in identifying features of these masses. Echocardiography was used to guide percutaneous transarterial catheter drainage of the mass in one patient.
