The HALS technique could be a minimally invasive alternative for sexually active males unsuitable for EVAR repair.

The authors report a case of a fifty-five-year-old woman with clinical and echocardiographic diagnosis of right atrial myxoma. At fluoroscopy and phlebography a mobile calcified peduncle was appreciable originating from the left ovarian vein. This passed through the inferior cava to the right atrium where it wound round itself and extended into the right ventricle during diastole. The authors suspected the presence of a vascular leiomyoma. The tumor and its peduncle were removed by pulling through the right atrium during extracorporeal circulation. The site of origin was confirmed at pelvic surgery.

To achieve a good exposure of coronary arteries, the singlesuture<br />technique allows a good exposure of the circumflex<br />territory. This suture may injure the organs situated behind<br />the pericardium. We suggest placing a single suture of silk in<br />the oblique sinus to allow a good elevation of the posterior<br />pericardium before placing the single suture. This simple and<br />inexpensive method avoids any damage to the structures<br />behind the pericardium.
