Surgical removal of a rare left ventricular myxoma in an infant was successful with no recurrence at 9 months, despite transient postoperative heart block.
Reddy et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Surgical removal via conal septum approach was evaluated on Tumor recurrence and survival. Surgical removal of a left ventricular myxoma via the conal septum in a 5-month-old infant was successful with no recurrence at 9 months, though it required permanent pacemaker placement.
