Key result
Surgical excision with cryoablation successfully treats recurrent right atrial myxomas in Carney complex.
Why the study?
Carney complex is a rare syndrome that can present with multiple recurrent cardiac myxomas, but diagnosis may be delayed without other related features.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Multiple and recurrent cardiac myxomas at a relatively young age should prompt consideration of Carney complex, even in the absence of other related features.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Recurrent atrial myxomas may signal Carney complex; leaves open optimal surveillance intervals for affected patients.
Yokoyama et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Carney complex with recurrent cardiac myxomas (n=1). Surgical excision and cryoablation was evaluated. Surgical excision combined with cryoablation successfully treated multiple recurrent right atrial myxomas in a 41-year-old man diagnosed with Carney complex, allowing complication-free discharge.
