Abstract

We experienced a case in which a myxoma in the inferior vena cava (IVC) was surgically removed along with the IVC using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. A 42-year-old female with no subjective symptoms was incidentally found to have a mass in the IVC at the junction of the hepatic veins on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Ultrasonography revealed a mobile tumor attached to the junction of the hepatic veins. Surgery was performed via median sternotomy and laparotomy. Cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest were utilized to safely operate.
