Abstract:
A 62-year-old man presented to the cardiology clinic with symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath and swelling in the abdomen and legs. A pedunculated mobile mass with a short stalk in the right atrium was found to originate from the inferior vena caval opening and prolapse into the right ventricle through a tricuspid valve during diastole in echocardiography. The patient was referred to our department and surgery was planned for right atrial myxomas diagnosis. The mass with surrounding tissue was surgically removed using the cardiopulmonary bypass method. No postoperative complications were seen in the currently asymptomatic patient who is still under our follow-up schedule.
