A 72-year-old female underwent cardiac computed tomography (CCT) for chest pain. This showed unobstructed coronary arteries, but revealed a mass protruding within the interatrial septum ( Panels A – C ) possibly originating from the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva. The patient was referred for further evaluation with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). CMR showed a crescent-shaped mass around the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva ( Panels D–F ) with intermediate signal intensity on cine images (see Supplementary data online, Video S1 ) and …
