Overview

May support echocardiography-guided transventricular resection for select LV myxomas; leaves open need for larger prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 patient, 66-year-old man with a left ventricular myxoma originating from the anterolateral wall with a short stalk, incidentally detected during transthoracic echocardiography prior to a cholecystectomy.
I
Intervention
Surgical excision via a transventricular approach guided by transesophageal and epicardial dual-view echocardiography.
O
Outcome
Complete resection of the tumor and prevention of recurrence.

A transventricular approach guided by transesophageal and epicardial echocardiography enables precise and complete resection of left ventricular myxomas with a short stalk.
