Clin Case Rep. 2021 Aug 30;9(9):e04688. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4688. eCollection 2021 Sep.

Abstract

Difficult diagnosis is due to rarity of the case. TT or TE echocardiography is sufficient to make a correct diagnosis. The risk of embolism or coronary ostia occlusion should guide the decision for surgery.

Keywords: aorta and great vessels; aortic surgery; cardiac tumors.
