Abstract
Abstract: Cardiac myxomas extending from the right ventricle are uncommon and this rare condition is potentially associated with several risks and poor outcomes. We report the case of a patient with a right ventricular myxoma who had a recent haemorrhagic stroke due to an arteriovenous malformation. The preoperative and intraoperative managements were challenging and required several difficult choices by the medical team and consequently, a multidisciplinary approach and a benefit-risk evaluation were necessary to determinate timely surgical resection in an urgent situation, simultaneously avoiding delayed or improper treatments, achieving a successful outcome in a very high-risk situation.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia (ACA) is the official journal of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular Thoracic Anaesthesiologists. The journal is indexed with PubMed/MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, IndMed and MedInd. The journal’s full text is online at www.annals.in. With the aim of faster and better dissemination of knowledge, we will be publishing articles ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately on acceptance. In addition, the journal would allow free access (Open Access) to its contents, which is likely to attract more readers and citations to articles published in ACA. Authors do not have to pay for submission, processing or publication of articles in ACA.
