Pulmonary Venous Obstruction From a Large Left Atrial Sarcoma: Resection Combined With Mitral Valve Bypass

Abstract

Cardiac sarcomas represent the majority of primary malignant cardiac tumors. They are usually located in the right atrium and are frequently angiosarcomas. We present a case of primary cardiac sarcoma originating from the left atrium in a 40-year-old woman that was treated with resection combined with mitral valve bypass.
