    Abstract:
    This is a case report of a primary vena cava sarcoma extending to the atrium in a young woman, which was resected. Cardiopulmonary bypass was used, and the cava replaced with ringed Gore-Tex. She remains alive and well more than 3 years after the surgery with no evidence of recurrence.
