Abstract

Computed tomographic virtual cardioscopy was used to provide clear and precise visualisation of a myxoma with a stalk arising from the interatrial septum. This technique permits the safe, reliable, and non-invasive diagnosis of intracardiac lesions. This case is presented to assist the cardiovascular surgeon in preoperative planning or in developing a simulation of robotic cardiac surgery.
