Abstract
Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. In 20% of cases, they arise from the right atrium. Only a few such tumors are reported to have arisen from the inferior vena cava. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with recurrent vomiting and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), found to have a massive myxoma emerging from the suprahepatic Inferior vena cava (IVC) involving the eustachian valve, and extending to the right atrium. Surgical excision was successful, leading to an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention in managing right atrial myxomas to prevent potential complications such as embolism and sudden death.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of research in the field of Cardiology, and Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. The journal publishes original scientific research documenting clinical and experimental advances in cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgery, and related fields.
Topics of interest include surgical techniques, survival rates, surgical complications and their outcomes; along with basic sciences, pediatric conditions, transplantations and clinical trials.
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery is of interest to cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, cardiothoracic anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, chest physicians, and allied health professionals.
