Radical excision of a sessile anterior mitral valve leaflet myxoma in a 19-year-old man was followed by postoperative heart block that spontaneously converted to normal sinus rhythm.
Radical excision of an anterior mitral leaflet myxoma in a 19-year-old man was complicated by transient postoperative heart block that resolved spontaneously.
Transient heart block may follow radical anterior mitral leaflet myxoma excision but resolve spontaneously; leaves open optimal management in rare valvular myxomas.
A 19-year-old man was admitted with a 6-month history of palpitations and dyspnea. A sessile myxoma of the anterior mitral valve leaflet was radically excised. Heart block developed postoperatively but the patient converted to normal sinus rhythm spontaneously during follow-up.
