Left atrial myxoma with biventricular dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: Occurrence of left atrial myxoma with severe ventricular dysfunction without any obstructive coronary artery disease, as presented in our case, is very rare. It may be due to undiagnosed concomitant dilated cardiomyopathy or unknown cardiodepressant effect of myxoma which warrants further research.

"Left atrial myxoma - A tumor in transit".

Project description:Cardiac myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac neoplasm. Over 70% of all cardiac myxomas originate from the left atrium (LA) and 18% from the right atrium (RA). Most myxomas present with constitutional, embolic, and obstructive manifestations. We are presenting a case where a part of myxoma got embolized intra-operatively. Using trans-oesophageal echocardiography, we were able to diagnose and image the transit of the tumor from the left ventricle to the left atrium. We removed the embolized tumor from the left atrium and prevented a dreaded complication like stroke, mesenteric ischemia, renal infarct or limb ischemia, which would have resulted in increased morbidity or mortality of the patient.

Totally thoracoscopic surgery for treating left atrial myxoma

Project description:Abstract We aimed to summarize the experience of totally thoracoscopic surgery for left atrial myxoma, together with analyzing the safety and feasibility. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 15 patients with left atrial myxoma admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to October 2018. The auxiliary hole was located at the midline of the 5th intercostal space of the right chest. The endoscope hole was located at the front position of the fourth intercostal space. Specimens were sent to the pathology department for pathological examination. All the procedures were completed successfully. Extracorporeal circulation time was 46.5 ± 18.6 minute, cross-clamping time was 20.6 ± 6.7 minute, thoracic drainage fluid was 89+60.2 ml, ventilator assist time was 4.3 ± 2.6 hour, intensive care unit stay time was 14.5 ± 4.2 hour, the average postoperative hospital stay was 5.2 ± 1.2 day. There was no death, or red blood cell transfusion during and after surgery. No postoperative complications were reported by the patients. No recurrence of myxoma, residual shunt in the atrial septum and valvular lesions were found after 3months of postoperative cardiac ultrasound examination. Total thoracoscopic surgery for left atrial myxoma was less invasive with satisfactory cosmetic appearance with feasibility and safety. Besides, it caused no serious complications.

Percutaneous Removal of Left Atrial Myxoma: The FLORIDA Procedure.

Project description:Surgical resection has been the treatment of choice for cardiac myxomas, but older age and comorbidities relegate many patients to observation. Pure percutaneous removal of left atrial myxomas is both intriguing and challenging. We report a successful percutaneous technique for removal of left atrial cardiac myxoma in a nonsurgical candidate. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Left atrial myxoma causing near-total mitral valve obstruction.

Project description:Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in adults, with the left atrium being the most frequently affected. Echocardiography is the diagnostic modality of choice. The most effective treatment for cardiac myxomas is surgical excision.

Rheumatic mitral valve disease with left atrial myxoma: Unexpected encounter.

Project description:Rheumatic mitral stenosis associated with left atrial myxoma has been reported previously. We reported an admitted rare case of rheumatic mitral regurgitation with left atrial myxoma. The discrimination between left atrial myxoma and thrombi presents a diagnostic challenge in the presence of rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Giant Left Atrial Myxoma Masquerading as Cough-Syncope Syndrome.

Project description:Left atrial myxomas are the most common type of benign primary cardiac tumor. Patients can present with generalized symptoms, such as fatigue, symptoms from obstruction of the myxoma, or even embolization of the myxoma causing distal thrombosis. We describe a case with several-month duration of syncopal episodes that occurred after coughing and with exertion. Computed tomography of the chest showed a 6.1 cm by 4.5 cm mass in the left atrium, later evaluated with an echocardiogram. Cardiothoracic surgery removed the mass, and it was determined to be an atrial myxoma. It is important for an internist to be able to diagnose an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization and even sudden death as myxoma can block blood supply from atrium to ventricle.

A giant left atrial myxoma neovascularized from the right coronary artery.

Project description:Myxomas are benign and the most common tumors of the cardiac muscle (Reynen, 1995). They are predominantly located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestations may vary according to the localization and the size of the myxoma. On the other hand, imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is a rare sign, which displays the vascular supply of the tumor. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old man presenting with presyncope and palpitations due to a giant left atrial myxoma having its vascular supply from the right coronary artery (RCA).

An exceptionally giant left atrial myxoma: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac myxomas are considered the most common benign heart tumours. The clinical manifestations mainly depend on the size of the tumour. They usually vary from asymptomatic, mild non-specific symptoms, to severe obstructive cardiac and systemic findings. We describe herein a significantly large left atrial myxoma in a patient misdiagnosed with respiratory asthma.Case summaryA 54-year-old lady, was diagnosed previously with asthma, presented with a history of dyspnoea on exertion, palpitations, and mild peripheral oedema. Chest X-ray suggested pulmonary congestion. Due to high suspicion of cardiac issues, transthoracic echocardiography was done revealing giant left atrial mass. Consequently, the mass was approached and excised surgically through the inverted T biatrial incision. Grossly, the mass measured 10 × 8 × 6 cm, and it had a smooth surface and was filled with gelatinous material. The histopathology confirmed benign myxoma without malignant features.DiscussionOur article mainly focuses on the diagnostic challenges of a patient with atrial myxoma. The major discrepancy between the tumour size and the severity of the patient's symptoms should draw physicians' attention to consider atrial myxoma over a long list of differentials, in order to take immediate action to reduce the mortality and improve the overall prognosis.
