a Appearance of the patient’s chest at admission for the second removal for the recurrent right atrial thrombus (at the age 4.8 years): The chest is significantly excavated. b CT image at the time of the primary referral for the right atrial thrombus (at the age of 4 years): The tumor appears as a contrast defect in the right atrium (black arrow which was surrounded with yellow). The chest is significantly excavated. c CT image at the time of the second removal for the recurrent right atrial thrombus (at the age 4.8 years): the right atrium is externally compressed by the excavated chest. The tumor appears as a contrast defect in the right atrium (yellow arrow). d Postoperative CT image after the second right atrial thrombus removal concomitant with the pectus excavatum repair: the chest was well-repaired and no contrast defect was found in the right atrium
