A 53-year-old man sustained hemodynamic collapse due to a huge right atrial tumor and was transferred to our hospital and underwent a life-saving emergency operation. The tumor arose from the inferolateral wall of the right atrium, occupying almost the whole right atrial cavity and obstructing not only the inflow of the right ventricle but also the orifice of the inferior vena cava. Venous cannulation via the right atrial wall and placing a snare around the inferior vena cava were impossible. With a cardiopulmonary bypass using vacuum-assisted venous drainage, the tumor was successfully resected and the tricuspid valve was replaced with a bioprosthetic valve without snaring the inferior vena cava. Postoperative histological examination demonstrated the tumor to be a large B-cell non-Hodgkin type malignant lymphoma. When the tumor is large and it is difficult to establish total cardiopulmonary bypass, the vacuum-assisted cardiopulmonary bypass is a useful option. This can achieve a bloodless operative field and is not blocked by the incoming air, due to the venous drainage being continually pressure-regulated.
