Complete resection of a right atrial intracavitary metastatic melanoma

R H Chen et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1996 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of complete resection of a very large intracavitary metastatic melanoma of the right atrium. We describe a technique for resecting without damaging the atrium and for preventing the narrowing of the right atrium. In such cases, complete resection may be indicated despite widespread disease.
