Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for non-invasive differential diagnosis of unclear left atrial mass.

ABSTRACT: Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography detected a left atrial mass attached to the intra-atrialseptum. Intravenous contrast agent ruled out atrial thrombus, sugesting a left atrial myxoma. This highlights theimportance of contrast echocardiography for differential diagnosis of left atrial findings.
