Supports feasibility of transmitral excision for obstructive pediatric LV myxoma; leaves open questions on recurrence and long-term outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights that left ventricular myxomas, although extremely rare in children, can cause syncope due to outflow tract obstruction and can be successfully excised.
Kumar et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Complete excision of myxoma was evaluated. Complete excision through a transmitral approach was performed in a 12-year-old girl presenting with syncope caused by a rare left ventricular myxoma obstructing the outflow tract.
