Key result
Simultaneous pneumonectomy and atriotomy under CPB successfully resects lung cancer and LA tumor thrombus.
Why the study?
Simultaneous resection of a left atrial tumor thrombus and lung cancer may prevent systemic embolization, mitral obstruction, and sudden death, improving prognosis in selected patients.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Simultaneous surgical resection of lung cancer and left atrial tumor thrombus under cardiopulmonary bypass is feasible and may prevent fatal complications.
We report a case of pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the left atrium. The left atrial tumor thrombus and lung cancer were removed via a right pneumonectomy and atriotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. Simultaneous resection of a left atrial tumor thrombus and lung cancer can prevent systemic embolization, mitral obstruction, and sudden death, and improve the prognosis in selected patients.

Xie et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the left atrium (n=1). Right pneumonectomy and atriotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated. Simultaneous resection of a left atrial tumor thrombus and lung cancer via right pneumonectomy and atriotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed to prevent systemic embolization.
