Gebremichael et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Right atrial metastatic tumor with secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated. Surgical excision of the right atrial metastatic tumor relieved mechanical obstruction, but the patient died of multi-organ failure seven months postoperatively due to occult malignancy.
