Key result
Biatrial resection with bovine pericardial patch achieves complete myxoma clearance without residual regurgitation.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxomas arising from two different heart chambers are extremely rare, and detailed case reports are needed to improve understanding and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates surgical feasibility for rare biatrial myxomas; extends limited case reports but leaves open recurrence risk and follow-up needs.
Myxoma is a rare type of tumor which have an incidence of 0.0017% among the general population. Cardiac myxomas which arise from two different heart chambers is even extremely rare; we herein report a unique case of male patient with bilateral myxoma.

Xiao et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Bilateral atrial myxoma (n=1). Biatrial surgical resection and septal reconstruction was evaluated on Surgical success (tumor removal and valve function). Biatrial surgical resection of multiple myxomas with adjacent septal reconstruction using a bovine pericardial patch resulted in complete tumor removal without residual valve regurgitation.
