Key result
Surgical excision of a large right ventricular myxoma combined with sliding tricuspid valvuloplasty and ring annuloplasty resulted in successful tumor removal with minimal tricuspid regurgitation.

Sliding tricuspid valvuloplasty combined with ring annuloplasty is a viable surgical option for repairing the tricuspid valve after excision of a large right ventricular myxoma involving the valve leaflets.
Case illustrates potential repair strategy; leaves open need for validation in larger cohorts.
We report a rare case of an extremely large right ventricular myxoma involving the ventricular side of the tricuspid valve. The tumor was excised along with the entire posterior leaflet and part of the anterior leaflet. The tricuspid valve was repaired by sliding valvuloplasty combined with ring annuloplasty.

Cho et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Right ventricular myxoma (n=1). Surgical excision and sliding tricuspid valvuloplasty was evaluated on Postoperative echocardiographic findings. Surgical excision of a large right ventricular myxoma combined with sliding tricuspid valvuloplasty and ring annuloplasty resulted in successful tumor removal with minimal tricuspid regurgitation.
