Implication

May enable less invasive LV myxoma resection in select cases; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger series.

Structured PICO

Population

A 31-year-old female presenting with right-sided stroke symptoms and a 2-cm mobile mass (myxoma) attached to the anteroseptal left ventricular wall.

Intervention

Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) with concurrent three-dimensional (3D) imaging guiding video-assisted cardioscopic resection of the LV mass via left atriotomy.

Outcome

Successful removal of the mass and pathological confirmation of myxoma.

3D TEE can effectively guide video-assisted cardioscopic resection of left ventricular myxomas, allowing for less invasive surgical approaches.
