This case demonstrates that complete removal of a recurrent left ventricular myxoma via aortotomy can be performed safely with uneventful recovery.
Mahavar et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Recurrent Cardiac Myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection via transverse aortotomy was evaluated on Tumor recurrence. Complete surgical removal of a recurrent left ventricular myxoma through a transverse aortotomy resulted in an uneventful recovery with no tumor recurrence at 6-month follow-up.
