Key result
Surgical resection of a large RV myxoma in a second-trimester patient relieves severe outflow obstruction.
Surgical resection of a large right ventricular myxoma causing severe outflow tract obstruction can be successfully performed in a second-trimester pregnant patient.
Successful resection feasible in second-trimester RV myxoma; extends sparse case evidence but requires confirmation in larger cohorts.
This case illustrates a large right ventricular myxoma causing severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Multimodality imaging, including echocardiography and CT, guided the diagnosis. The patient underwent successful surgical resection, with histopathology confirming the benign tumor, leading to hemodynamic relief.
