Interventional Management of "Balloon-Uncrossable" Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion: Is There Any Way Out?

abstract：:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with metastasis to the heart is uncommon. We report a rare case of left atrial metastasis of HCC which was resected palliatively as a live-saving procedure with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Despite chemoembolization, which was undertaken 11 times, cardiac metastasis occurred. Moreo...
