Key result
Surgical resection of massive RA myxoma successfully relieves symptoms of RV inflow obstruction.
Surgical resection is an effective treatment for massive right atrial myxoma causing right ventricular inflow obstruction.
Case-level evidence supports resection for obstructive right atrial myxoma; leaves open optimal strategies and long-term prognosis.
We describe a case of a massive right atrial myxoma, causing right ventricular inflow obstruction. The tumor was detected by echocardiography and resected along with a section of the tricuspid septal leaflet, followed by primary repair, resulting in relief of her symptoms.
