[Calcifying myxoma of the right heart with development of thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension].
Two rare cases of calcified myxomas of the right heart (multiple myxomas of the right atrium and tricuspid valve and myxoma of the right ventricle originating from the subvalvular structures) are described. Both patients were operated, tumour and the tricuspid valve were removed and valve prosthesis was made. At necropsy changes characteristic of pulmonary hypertension resulting from the recurring thromboembolism by a tumourous tissue were found in one case.
