Abstract:
Right atrial (RA) myxoma is common; however, RA myxoma after the percutaneous atrial septal defect closure is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, this might be the first reported case of RA myxoma after Amplatzer closure of an atrial septal defect, leading to a pulmonary artery embolism. We removed all the RA mass, occluder and pulmonary embolus and reconstructed the atrial septum successfully. As a result of surgery, there were no other complications as following up.
