Surgical resection of a giant left atrial myxoma successfully resolved functional mitral stenosis and associated heart failure.
Surgical resection may resolve functional mitral stenosis from giant left atrial myxoma; single case leaves open need for prospective data.
This report presents a case study on giant left atrial myxoma. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a giant mass in the left atrium of a 53-year-old female patient causing functional mitral stenosis. Tumor resection was performed, and the pathological diagnosis confirmed the atrial myxoma. Postoperative echocardiography showed no evidence of any remaining mass and mitral stenosis.
