Cardiac Myxomas

Cardiac myxomas may have different clinical presentations that may expose the patient to sudden death due to obstruction of the left ventricle inflow. The authors report a case of 34 years old male who was diagnosed with left atrial myxoma that presented as mitral valve obstruction with severe pulmonary hypertension. He underwent emergent sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass and the myxoma was successfully removed. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Benign Tumours

Myxomas are the most common benign tumours of the heart, majority of them arise from left atrium. They can have varied presentations, with asymptomatic patients to be picked up in routine screening at one end of spectrum to dangerous embolic manifestations at the other end of the spectrum. We report a case of left atrial myxoma distorting the mitral valve apparatus causing severe eccentric mitral regurgitation. Patient underwent complete surgical excision of the tumour along with mitral valve repair.

The Mean

We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with symptoms of cerebrovascular accident manifesting with loss of consciousness during episodes of cough. Computed multislice chest tomography showed a 7.3- by 4.15-cm mass in the left atrium. A transesophageal echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the left atrium that passed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, and severe obstructive stenosis was suggested by the mean transmitral gradient. After a comprehensive assessment of the mass, we decided to perform surgery. The pedunculated and fragile mass was attached to the interatrial septum with its handle, and the majority of it prolapsed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle and became stacked among the mitral valve leaflets. The removed mass was analyzed histopathologically and was found to be a myxoma. It is important for the cardiac surgeon to surgically remove an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization, including sudden death, as myxoma can block the blood supply from the atrium to the ventricle.
