Biopsy of an intracardiac paraganglioma in a dog using a fluoroscopically guided endovascular technique

Abstract A 10‐year‐old female spayed mixed breed dog was evaluated for diarrhea and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging demonstrated the presence of an intracardiac mass. A modified Seldinger technique was used to access the right jugular vein, and an endomyocardial biopsy forceps was introduced through a...
