Right ventricular outflow tract tumours are rarely reported. The perioperative management of a patient presenting for excision of an obstructing right ventricular outflow tract myxoma is described. Two-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography was performed intraoperatively and was found to be of considerable value in understanding the pathophysiology of the tumour. Following excision of the tumour, right ventricular function improved and tricuspid regurgitation resolved.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007430	Intraoperative Care	Patient care procedures performed during the operation that are ancillary to the actual surgery. It includes monitoring, fluid therapy, medication, transfusion, anesthesia, radiography, and laboratory tests.	Care, Intraoperative
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009232	Myxoma	A benign neoplasm derived from connective tissue, consisting chiefly of polyhedral and stellate cells that are loosely embedded in a soft mucoid matrix, thereby resembling primitive mesenchymal tissue. It occurs frequently intramuscularly where it may be mistaken for a sarcoma. It appears also in the jaws and the skin. (From Stedman, 25th ed)	Angiomyxoma,Angiomyxomas,Myxomas
D011651	Pulmonary Artery	The short wide vessel arising from the conus arteriosus of the right ventricle and conveying unaerated blood to the lungs.	Arteries, Pulmonary,Artery, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Arteries
D011664	Pulmonary Valve	A valve situated at the entrance to the pulmonary trunk from the right ventricle.	Pulmonary Valves,Valve, Pulmonary,Valves, Pulmonary
D004452	Echocardiography	Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues. The standard approach is transthoracic.

D006338	Heart Neoplasms	Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.
