Abstract
This paper present a challenging case of a right ventricular mass in a patient who was at high surgical risk for open removal. The minimally invasive AngioVac device has been used with a successful 50% reduction in mass burden. This report illustrates AngioVac as a safe alternative to invasive surgery.
