Surgical treatment of right ventricular myxoma in infancy
1996
Myxomas are the most common of all primary cardiac tumors in adults. They are extremely rare in infancy. We report on a 5-month-old infant who was admitted in a state of cardiogenic shock. Echocardiography showed a right ventricular myxoma completely occluding the right ventricular outflow tract. Prompt surgical removal of the tumor resulted in an excellent outcome.
