Description
Summary:We report a 49-year-old woman with intravenous and intracardiac extension of uterine leiomyomatosis. After subtotal hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy, an intravenous and intracardiac tumor was removed under normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest. Postoperatively, occlusion of the artery supplying the remaining uterine cervical stump was performed by the catheter coiling technique. More than 2 years after surgery, the patient is well without recurrence.
