Myxoma of right ventricular outflow tract with pulmonary artery obstruction

Abstract

Myxomas in the ventricles are uncommon. We report one such case where the myxoma, arising from the right ventricle, was obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract and the patient presented with chest pain and severe dyspnea. The patient was operated upon urgently and the tumor was successfully removed after opening right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery under cardiopulmonary bypass..
