Abstract
Use of biological glue during cardiovascular surgery is a common practice, rarely associated with immediate or long-term complications. We present a patient with a right atrial mass as a long-term complication associated with the use of biological glue. Surgical exploration revealed the mass to be an unabsorbed and infected aggregate of biological glue used to stop bleeding from a friable right atrium during previous surgery.Entities:
