We report the case of a semi-urgent cardiac surgery, in a 19 gestation age pregnant. Despite the fact that the patient was asymptomatic, except for some palpitations, a large left auricle (LA) myxoma was fortuitously diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography (TEE). Considering the important embolic risk, the tumor was successfully removed during cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Fetal bradycardia following defibrillation under stable maternal and CPB conditions was successfully managed. The postoperative period and remainder of the pregnancy was smooth and the delivery uneventful.

Background: Atrial myxoma is the most common benign cardiac neoplasm. Most of the case series have focused on the variable clinical presentation of myxoma rather than its gross and microscopic features. The objective of our study was to evaluate prevalence of different morphologic types of myxoma and to correlate with their clinical presentations.Methods: 68 patients were included in the study. The study population was divided into two groups- Group-A (n-18) patients having soft (papillary) tumor in the left atrium, Group B (n=50) patients having solid tumor in the left atrium.Results: 88.3% patients suffered illness more than 12 months. 92% of the solid myxomas were located in the septal wall compared to 55.6% of the papillary myxomas (p = 0.031), while one-third (33.3%) the papillary tumors were found in the left atrial free wall compared to only 4% of the solid myxomas (p = 0.048). Fever, congestive heart failure and dyspnoea were significantly predominant in patients with solid myxomas (72% vs. 44.4%, p = 0.036; 92% vs. 22.2%, p < 0.001 and 88% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.010 respectively). Atrial fibrillation and neurologic manifestations were more frequently encountered in the papillary myxoma group. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0.05) by postoperative complication during in hospital follow up but one mortality in each group.Conclusion: Our findings lend support to the view that different gross left atrial Myxoma tumor types and tumor location predict presentation.Cardiovasc. j. 2015; 8(1): 19-22

Abstract Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery has been a trend in modern medicine and there are no exceptions in the cardiothoracic surgery, which has been widely applied in Vietnam recently. Thong Nhat Hospital has deployed the minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for a trial septal defect (ASD) and left atrial myxoma since July 2018. Therefore we conducted this research to evaluate the result of this novel method in our hospital thus improving techniques and refining the procedures. Subjects and methods: We retrospectively reviewed all the patients underwent video assisted MICS in Thong Nhat Hospital from July 2018 to February 2020. Results: There had a total of 12 patients, in which 10 had an Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) and 2 had left atrial myxomal. Male/Female ratio was 1:1, mean age was 44,2 ± 4,5. All patients were intubated with double lumen endotracheal tube. Patients were put on cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) with femoral artery cannula and bicaval cannulas achieved with right femoral vein and right internal jugular vein cannulation. Mean CPB duration was 98,6 ± 13,6 minutes (70 - 155), aortic cross-clamping duration was 44,2 ± 6,8 minutes (0 - 88), there were 5 cases underwent off - pump ASD closure. 1 case had post-op hemorrhage that required reoperation, cause of hemorrhage was due to injury to the internal thoracic artery, there was no death. Conclusions: The application of MICS in treating ASD and left atrial myxoma showed positive short and medium term results, there was no severe complications or death.

Tóm tắt Đặt vấn đề: Phẫu thuật ít xâm lấn là xu hướng chung của y học hiện đại. Phẫu thuật tim ít xâm lấn cũng đã được triển khai mạnh mẽ gần đây ở nước ta. Bệnh viện Thống Nhất bắt đầu triển khai phẫu thuật tim hở ít xâm lấn từ năm 2018, nhằm mục tiêu đánh giá kết quả của phẫu thuật tim ít xâm lấn qua đường mở ngực phải nhỏ, được nội soi lồng ngực hỗ trợ và rút ra những kinh nghiệm trong thời gian gần đây chúng tôi thực hiện nghiên cứu này. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Hồi cứu mô tả loạt ca các người bệnh được phẫu thuật ít xâm lấn qua đường mở ngực phải nhỏ có nội soi lồng ngực hỗ trợ tại Bệnh viện Thống Nhất từ tháng 7/2018 đến tháng 02/2020. Kết quả: Có 12 trường hợp phẫu thuật tim ít xâm lấn, trong đó có 10 trường hợp đóng lỗ thông liên nhĩ và 2 trường hợp cắt u nhầy nhĩ trái, tuổi trung bình 44,2±4,5 tuổi. Tỷ lệ nam/nữ là 1:1. Cả 12 người bệnh đều được gây mê nội khí quản với ống thông 2 nòng vào phế quản chọn lọc. Chạy tuần hoàn ngoài cơ thể qua canuyn động mạch đùi, 2 canuyn tĩnh mạch chủ trên và chủ dưới riêng được luồn từ tĩnh mạch đùi phải và tĩnh mạch cảnh trong phải. Thời gian chạy tuần hoàn cơ thể trung bình là 98,6 ± 13,6 phút (70 – 155). Thời gian kẹp động mạch chủ là 44,2 ± 6,8 phút (0 – 88), có 05 trường hợp đóng lỗ thông liên nhĩ tim đập. Không tử vong, một trường hợp chảy máu sau mổ do tổn thương động mạch ngực trong phải mổ lại. Kết luận: Phẫu thuật đóng lỗ thông liên nhĩ và cắt bỏ u nhầy nhĩ trái ít xâm lấn bằng đường mở ngực nhỏ có nội soi lồng ngực hỗ trợ có kết quả sớm và trung hạn tốt, không có tử vong và biến chứng nặng Abstract Introduction: Minimal invasive surgery is a general trend in modern medicine, also Minimal invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has been developing significantly in Vietnam in last years. We have started MICS for Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure and resection left atrial myxoma since July 2018 in Thong Nhat Hospital. The aim of study is to assess the results of MICS via right minithoracotomy associated with Video-assisted Thoracotomy (VATs) for experience in our hospital. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of patients who underwent MICS via right minithoracotomy associated with VATs in Thong Nhat Hospital from 7/2018 to 2/2020. Results: There are 12 patients underwent MICS including 10 ASD closure and 02 resection of left atrial myxoma. Mean age was 44.2 ± 4.5. Male and female ratio was 1:1. All patients were intubate with selective bronchial tube. CPB (Cardiopulmonary bypass) with separated IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) and SVC (Superior Vena Cava) canulae installed from femoral vein and internal jugular vein. Mean CPB time was 98.6 ± 13.6 minutes (range 70 - 155). Mean cross aortic clamp time was 44,2 ± 6,8 minutes (range 0 - 88), beating heart ASD closure in 05 cases. No mortality was observed in this series, one bleeding complication due to interior thoracic artery injured and was re-operated. Conclusion: MICS for closure ASD and resection of left atrial myxoma via minithoracotomy associated with VATs is safe and effective in short and middle follow up without severe morbidity and mortality. Keywords: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery; right minithoracotomy; video - assisted thoracotomy

Abstract Background Myocarditis is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening disease that presents with a wide range of symptoms. In acute myocarditis, chest pain (CP) may mimic typical angina and also be associated with electrocardiographic changes, including an elevation of the ST-segment. A large percentage (20–56%) of myxomas are found incidentally. Case summary A 62-year-old female presenting with sudden onset CP and infero-lateral ST-elevation in the electrocardiogram. The diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction was presumed and administered tenecteplase. The patient was immediately transported to a percutaneous coronary intervention centre. She complained of intermittent diplopia during transport and referred constitutional symptoms for the past 2 weeks. Coronary angiography showed normal arteries. The echocardiogram revealed moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction due to large areas of akinesia sparing most of the basal segments, and a mobile mass inside the left atrium attached to the septum. The cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) suggested the diagnosis of myocarditis with concomitant left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent resection of the myxoma. Neurological evaluation was performed due to mild vertigo while walking and diplopia in extreme eye movements. The head magnetic resonance imaging identified multiple infracentimetric lesions throughout the cerebral parenchyma compatible with an embolization process caused by fragments of the tumour. Discussion Myocarditis can have various presentations may mimic acute myocardial infarction and CMR is critical to establish the diagnosis. Myxoma with embolic complications requires emergent surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the applicable literature of a myxoma diagnosed during a myocarditis episode.
