title: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery for resection of right atrial hepatic tumor in an octogenarian.
abstract: Removal of right atrial hepatic tumor with caval involvement requires control of bleeding, avoidance of tumor embolization, and adequate resection. We reported an octogenarian having hepatocellular carcinoma with caval and right atrial involvements who underwent successful resection using cardiopulmonary bypass and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
