Case Report (n=1)
No
Surgical excision of a left atrial myxoma in a patient with associated left ventricular dysfunction led to marked clinical and hemodynamic improvement, suggesting a reversible cardio-depressant effect of the tumor.
Atrial Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumors accounting for about 50% of benign primary cardiac tumors, with the majority located in the left atrium. This is a case of large left atrial (LA) myxoma presented with features of mitral stenosis associated with moderate left ventricular failure (LVF) and mild pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) The patient improved markedly after tumor excision.Pulse Vol.10 January-December 2017 p.29-33
Meher et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Left Atrial Myxoma with Left Ventricular Dysfunction (n=1). Surgical excision of left atrial myxoma was evaluated on Clinical and hemodynamic improvement. Surgical excision of a large left atrial myxoma resulted in marked clinical and hemodynamic improvement and slight improvement in left ventricular function.
