Abstract

The AngioVac (Angiodynamics) system is indicated for the removal of right-sided venous soft thrombi and emboli. This is the first report that demonstrates the AngioVac system can be extended to the extraction of right-sided cardiac tumors, in the current case, a pulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma infected with Streptococcus salivarius and Rothia species. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
