How should left atrial myxoma be managed in pregnant women?
Totally endoscopic minimally invasive cardiac surgery during the first two trimesters of pregnancy appears to be a viable and optimal choice for managing left atrial myxoma in pregnant women.
Liu et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Left atrial myxoma during pregnancy (n=3). Individualized surgical management (minimally invasive cardiac surgery or delayed surgery) was evaluated on Maternal and fetal outcomes and tumor relapse. Individualized multidisciplinary management of left atrial myxoma during pregnancy, including minimally invasive cardiac surgery, resulted in successful maternal and fetal outcomes in all three cases.
