Key result
Left ventricular myxoma resection resolves recurrent embolic strokes following prior left atrial myxoma excision.
Why the study?
Left ventricular myxomas are rare and there are very few reports of LVM occurring after complete surgical resection of left atrial myxoma.
Comparison
Initial left atrial myxoma resection vs subsequent left ventricular myxoma resection

May warrant extended TTE surveillance after LA myxoma resection; extends sparse case reports but leaves optimal protocols open.
Case Report (n=1)
Left ventricular myxoma can present after complete resection of a left atrial myxoma, emphasizing the importance of echocardiographic follow-up.
Srikanth Seethala (2013) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. Surgical resection of a left ventricular myxoma was performed in a 58-year-old male who presented with recurrent thromboembolic strokes 1.5 years after complete resection of a left atrial myxoma.
