Left atrial myxoma causing near-total mitral valve obstruction.

ABSTRACT: 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.

The elusive cause of syncope: Left atrial myxoma with mitral valve obstruction.

Project description:Key clinical messageSyncopal patients should be evaluated for cardiac causes, including myxoma, as highlighted in this case. Transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography are valuable diagnostic tools. Interventional cardiology plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of myxoma.AbstractThis case video describes the presentation and successful treatment of a 58-year-old woman who experienced recurrent episodes of syncope. After ruling out other health concerns, a pulmonary embolism was suspected and further investigations revealed a mass in the left atrium causing significant obstruction of the mitral valve. The mass, identified as a neovascularized myxoma, was successfully resected, emphasizing the significance of considering myxoma as a potential cause of syncope and highlighting the role of interventional cardiology in its management.

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.

Two adherent blood cysts in subvalvular apparatus of the mitral valve causing severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Blood cysts in the heart are often incidentally found during post-mortem examinations in infants, and usually do not cause clinical symptoms. They almost always regress spontaneously, and only a few cases of embolization or valvular dysfunction have been reported previously. We report a 62-year-old man who presented with chest discomfort and dyspnea on exertion for several years, and was found to have a dynamic murmur in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) on physical examination. His echocardiogram demonstrated two large blood cysts attached to the subvalvular apparatus of mitral valve, causing significant LVOT obstruction and mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. The cysts were surgically excised and pathology confirmed simple blood cysts. <Learning objective: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of twin blood cysts with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in an adult, since most of these cysts either regress spontaneously in childhood or remain asymptomatic in adults.>.
