Key result
Surgical resection of a giant right ventricular myxoma protruding into the pulmonary artery was successfully performed in a 26-year-old male, leading to an uneventful postoperative recovery.
Why the study?
Right ventricular myxomas are rare, representing only 3%-4% of myxomas, but can cause catastrophic complications such as embolization or valve orifice blood flow obstruction.
