Case Report (n=1)
Anterior minithoracotomy is a viable approach for postpartum resection of left atrial myxoma and mitral valve repair, offering the advantage of avoiding sternotomy precautions and facilitating mother-child bonding.
Taksaudom et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Left atrial myxoma and severe mitral regurgitation in pregnancy (n=1). Anterior minithoracotomy for myxoma removal and mitral valve repair was evaluated on Successful removal of myxoma and repair of mitral valve. Anterior minithoracotomy successfully removed a left atrial myxoma and repaired the mitral valve in a postpartum patient, facilitating mother-child bonding by avoiding sternotomy precautions.
