Key result
Single-stage myxoma excision with CABG achieves excellent 10-month clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxoma can present with symptoms that overlap with coronary artery disease, creating a diagnostic challenge, particularly in older patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

A single-stage operation combining complete myxoma excision with CABG provides definitive and safe management for patients with coexistent cardiac myxoma and severe coronary artery disease.
Hawat et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Coincident large left atrial myxoma and severe three-vessel coronary artery disease (n=1). Single-stage resection of atrial myxoma and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes. A single-stage operation combining complete myxoma excision with coronary artery bypass grafting provided definitive therapy with excellent clinical and echocardiographic outcomes at 10 months.
