Why the study?
Right ventricular mass with pulmonary artery thrombus presents an anesthetic challenge due to the risk of tumor embolization and pulmonary obstruction during induction or thereafter.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report highlights the perioperative anesthetic challenges of resecting a large right ventricular outflow tract myxoma with pulmonary artery thrombus and demonstrates the utility of TEE and temporary RVAD support in managing refractory post-cardiotomy right ventricular failure.
A case of Right Ventricular Mass with Pulmonary Artery Thrombus presented a challenge as during anaesthesia the risk of tumor embolization and pulmonary obstruction during anesthesia induction or at any stage thereafter and This case demonstrates the utility of TEE in the perioperative management of post cardiotomy RVF and implantation of temporary RVAD.A 17-year-old female patient presented with the complaints of near-syncope attacks and worsening dyspnea on exertion for 2 years in our institution.

Dr. Anuradha Yadav (2026) conducted a case report in Right ventricular myxoma extending to the right ventricular outflow tract with pulmonary artery thrombus and moderate tricuspid regurgitation (n=1). Surgical resection of RV mass with TEE-guided anaesthetic management and temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device (RVAD) implantation was evaluated on Right ventricular recovery following postcardiotomy right ventricular failure.
