This case demonstrates the feasibility of fast-track cardiac anesthesia in a complex patient with right atrial myxoma, pulmonary embolism, and infective endocarditis.
The incidence of primary cardiac tumors is low, accounting for only 0.3% of all open cardiac operations. Atrial myxomas are the most common type of primary cardiac tumors, and they may progress to life-threatening symptoms when they enlarge rapidly. Both pulmonary embolism and infective endocarditis are rare complications of right atrial myxomas. In this article, we report the anesthetic management of a patient with right atrial myxoma complicated by pulmonary embolism and infective endocarditis who was treated surgically with a fast-track cardiac anesthesia procedure during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Biricik Melis Çakmak Gökçe (2012) conducted a case report in Right atrial myxoma complicated by pulmonary embolism and infective endocarditis (n=1). Fast-track cardiac anesthesia (FTCA) was evaluated. Fast-track cardiac anesthesia with early extubation was successfully performed in a patient undergoing surgical excision of a right atrial myxoma complicated by pulmonary embolism and infective endocarditis.
