Key result
Complete surgical resection of left atrial myxoma with multiple feeding vessels leaves no remnant mass.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the utility of multimodality imaging in identifying complex coronary arterial feeding vessels to a cardiac myxoma prior to surgical resection.
A 62-year-old woman with six months history of dizziness was admitted to our hospital. A large mass in the left atrium was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. Coronary angiography showed two feeding arteries from the right coronary artery and left circumflex artery to the left atrium. Chest computed tomography, coronary computed tomographic angiography and contrast echocardiography were performed. Those showed multiple intratumoral neovascularities from surface of the mass. After those examinations, the mass was completely resected. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. There was no abnormal remnant mass, based on a follow-up transthoracic echocardiography.

Kim et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Cardiac myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Tumor resection and follow-up. Complete surgical resection of a left atrial myxoma with multiple feeding vessels from the right coronary and left circumflex arteries resulted in no abnormal remnant mass on follow-up.
