@RakanINazer @JACCJournals 1) I undestand your opinion @RakanINazer. However, it is difficult to define futility in every treatment in medicine. It depends on the outcome we are aiming for, which is not the cure of the disease in this particular case.

Cardiac sarcomas are very aggressive tumors and require expert surgical planning and multi-modality imaging.

There is a dose response relationship between myocardial mass supplied by ITAs and survival. Importantly, if the LAD is not a wrap around LAD the second ITA should, when possible, go to multiple important targets to achieve better long term-survival.
