Recurrent right atrial thrombi after myxoma excision may prove fatal; leaves open optimal perioperative antithrombotic strategies in this rare entity.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the rare combination of right atrial myxoma and thrombi, and the risk of fatal postoperative complications due to thrombus recurrence.
George R. Holswade (1965) conducted a case report in Right atrial myxoma complicated by a thrombus (n=1). Excision of right atrial myxoma and thrombi was evaluated on Fatal postoperative complication. Excision of a right atrial myxoma complicated by thrombi in a 57-year-old woman was followed by recurrence of thrombi and a fatal postoperative complication.
