ABSTRACT
Intracardiac myxoma is predominantly located in the left atrium but their location in the right ventricle is quite unusual. We present a case in which successful excision of the tumor was done through bicameral approach.
Mixoma intracardíaco localiza-se predominantemente no átrio esquerdo, e sua localização no ventrículo direito é bastante incomum. Apresentamos um caso no qual excisão bem sucedida do tumor foi feita por meio de abordagem bicameral.

We present an unusual case of an 18-month-old boy, who presented with dyspnea and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Echocardiography and subsequent angiography were suggestive of a fistula from a coronary artery to the right ventricle. Finally, only on table could the actual diagnosis of a single left coronary artery with right ventricular fistula be made. Surgical treatment was successfully performed with off-pump ligation and the patient was well with no residual fistula on echocardiogram when seen at 3 month follow-up.
