case_images: Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography confirmed the previously known details of the mass which appeared to be adherent to the catheter (Fig. 2).
case_images: The mass during and after resection with a ruler for size. A. The calcified mass after right atriotomy. B. The mass after resection. C. Detail of right atrial wall after resection. The blue portion of the catheter is the patient's right side. D.
