Left ventricular myxoma is a rare but reversible cause of severe heart failure that can be successfully managed with surgical excision.
Şimşek et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma with congestive heart failure (n=1). Surgical excision via transaortic approach was evaluated on Clinical recovery and ejection fraction improvement. Surgical excision of a rare left ventricular myxoma via a transaortic approach successfully treated the patient's congestive heart failure, improving his ejection fraction from 22% to 40% at 12 months.
