• BACKGROUND AND AIMSEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignant vascular tumor with limited literature. AIMSWe reported an innovative endovascular biopsy of the right innominate vein tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODSEndovascular suction thrombectomy was performed with multipurpose catheter and constant negative pressure under fluoroscopic guidance. RESULTSEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma was diagnosed preoperatively and a complete margin-free tumor resection with patch repair of the right innominate vein was achieved via sternotomy. DISCUSSIONPreoperatively diagnosis is usually not available due to lesions' location. Identifying malignant vascular tumors becomes valuable to guide the surgical treatment. CONCLUSIONSIn this case report, this innovative endovascular approach led to a rare preoperative diagnosis of EHE and subsequent margin-free resection.
