Staging tests were negative for metastasis. The patient underwent a right, fourth intercostal thoracotomy, subtotal pericardectomy, right auricular mass excision, and pericardial free patch graft. The patient experienced blood loss during surgery, which required a packed red blood cell transfusion. The patient experienced transient arrhythmias postoperatively, but was discharged from the hospital 48 hr later. Histopathologic diagnosis of the mass was hemangiosarcoma. The patient was treated with carboplatin single-agent chemotherapy and palliative radiation therapy. The patient died at home, presumably from metastatic disease 260 days postoperatively. Surgical mass removal or debulking along with pericardial free patch grafting may be considered as palliative treatment options for dogs diagnosed with right auricular masses. In this case report, other techniques failed to repair the defect in the heart and a free patch graft offered a good rescue procedure with a favorable outcome without the need for inflow and outflow occlusion when used in conjunction with adjunctive therapies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-5628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,16]],"date-time":"2011-04-16T03:30:13Z","timestamp":1302924613000},"page":"224-228","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Pericardial Free Patch Grafting as a Rescue Technique in Surgical Management of Right Atrial HSA"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Michelle","family":"Morges","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deanna R.","family":"Worley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen J.","family":"Withrow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Monnet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"721","article-title":"Pericardial effusion in the dog: a review of 42 cases","volume":"20","author":"Berg","year":"1984","unstructured":"Berg\n              R\n            , WingfieldW.
