INTRODUCTION: Traditionally, @entity5 thrombi extending into the right atrium have been managed by open surgery with sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass circulation and hypothermic @entity1167 , and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Here, we evaluate the results of cavoatrial thrombectomy using our own, Foley catheter assisted-technique, obviating the need for thoracotomy, extracorporeal circulation, and/or hypothermic @entity1167 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between June 2013 and January 2015, 4 consecutive @entity1 underwent cavoatrial thrombectomy performed with our own, Foley catheter assisted technique, via Chevron incision, with no need for extracorporeal circulation or hypothermy for @entity1358 with @entity5 thrombus extending into the right atrium. Analyses of @entity1 ' data from a prospectively maintained database with respect to perioperative characteristics, morbidity and mortality were performed. RESULTS: The total mean duration of surgery was 255 minutes. The mean time of @entity432 was 90 seconds. The average @entity190 volume, timed from the beginning of cavotomy incision until its closure, was 1200 ml. The total mean intraoperative @entity190 was 3,150 ml. There was no perioperative @entity204 . @entity260 included one transient @entity810 requiring one-off hemodialysis and one re-operation due to @entity548 . The follow-up time ranged between 12 to 17 months. None of the @entity1 developed disease recurrence. All @entity1 were still alive at the time of study completion. CONCLUSIONS: Obtained results support the validity of our own, Foley catheter assisted technique, without cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermic @entity1167 for the treatment of @entity1358 with @entity5 thrombus extending into the right atrium.
