We used for the first time a right ventricular exclusion procedure for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the right ventricle. Our case report shows that this surgical option can be effective as rescue therapy for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction secondary to myocardial metastasis in critically ill patients. Most notably, this technique can prevent inadvertent dislodgement of tumor cells.
我们首次采用右心室切除术治疗转移至右心室的肝细胞癌。我们的病例报告表明，这种手术选择对于重症患者因心肌转移继发的右心室流出道梗阻可作为一种有效的挽救性治疗。最值得注意的是，该技术可防止肿瘤细胞意外脱落。
