  • Title: Obstructive rhabdomyoma and univentricular physiology: a rare combination.
    Author: Dyamenahalli U, Black MD, Boutin C, Gow RM, Freedom RM.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1998 Mar; 65(3):835-7. PubMed ID: 9527228.
    Abstract:
    We report the successful excision of a large left atrial rhabdomyoma producing complete obstruction of both inflow and outflow to the left ventricle. Systemic perfusion was dependent on anterograde ductual flow. The resultant univentricular physiology was initially managed medically, with spontaneous tumor regression contemplated as a means of possible long-term "cure." Failure to achieve hemodynamic stability compelled urgent surgical excision. This neonate was successfully discharged home with an in-series biventricular circulation.
