Attempted Cardiopulmonary Bypass Venous Cannula Extraction Catheter Extraction of a Rare Intracardiac Myoepithelioma.

ABSTRACT: Myoepithelioma of the soft tissue is a rare entity that can mimic myxoma when presenting within the heart. We present a case where cardiopulmonary bypass venous cannula extraction catheter removal of an intracardiac myoepithelioma was attempted with minimal debulking and subsequently required minimally invasive open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
