[Surgical removal of right atrial myxoma with severe hypoxemia caused by right to left shunt through persistent foramen ovale].
A 41-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to dyspnea and cyanosis. Echocardiography revealed a right atrial tumor with right to left shunt through PFO. There was no evidence of pulmonary embolism from the tumor. The tumor was removed under cardiopulmonary bypass and PFO was closed. The patient is doing well now.
