A trans-jugular core needle biopsy performed, under fluoroscopy and intracardiac echocardiogram (ICE) guidance, revealed metastasis of primary tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of a core needle biopsy approach for diagnosis of a cardiac mass.","PeriodicalId":475091,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical cardiology","volume":"58 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135978933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal FFR cut-off value for revascularization is debated. With FFR ≤ 0.75, revascularization for coronary artery disease (CAD) stenosis is associated with improved clinical outcomes, whereas with FFR ≥ 0.8, medical treatment has been shown to result in favorable long-term outcomes. However, there has been controversy over revascularization decision-making for coronary stenosis with FFR between 0.75 and 0.80, the so-called grey zone.","PeriodicalId":475091,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical cardiology","volume":"55 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
