Abstract:

Primary heart tumors are rare, with atrial myxomas being the most common type. Atrial myxomas can lead to embolisms, heart obstruction, and systemic symptoms. Herein, we report a case of 72-year-old woman who presented with a left atrial myxoma at the atrial septal defect occluder, a new acute cerebral infarction, and MINOCA (myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis). Left atrial myxoma is a common primary cardiac tumor; however, left atrial myxomas arising after percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion are rare. Additionally, the patient presented with a new case

Abstract:

Bilateral recurrence of atrial myxoma has been reported only a few times. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman who had undergone left atrial myxoma resection and presented 9 years later with myxomas in both atria. The patient underwent successful resection of both masses with resolution of symptoms. We discuss the phenomenon of recurrent biatrial myxoma.

Abstract:

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare. Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumors and are commonly located in the left atrium. Myxomas can cause mitral valve inflow obstruction and can present with clinical signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis and the possibility of myxoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of mitral stenosis. Left atrial myxoma is rarely associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Transesophageal echocardiography plays a major role in the diagnosis of this tumor.

Abstract Aims Cardiac myxomas usually develop in the atria and consist of an acid-mucopolysaccharide-rich myxoid matrix with polygonal stromal cells scattered throughout.

Here, we assessed whether multipotent cardiac stem/progenitor cells (CSCs) give rise to atrial myxoma tissue.

Echocardiography showed an RV mass, a small ostium primum atrial septal defect, and a cleft of the left atrioventricular valve. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass, suggesting a myxoma.

Abstract:

Atrial myxomas are the most common cardiac tumor in the adult and they account for about one half of all primary tumors of the heart. The growth of the myxoma results in the formation of an intracavitary mass which encroaches upon the capacity of the chamber leading to impedance with both the inflow and outflow, with subsequent damming back of blood and diminution of cardiac output. In addition, myxomas often extend to the atrioventricular orifice and may interfere with valve function. The tumors are accessible to surgical resection, therefore, a correct clinical diagnosis may result in a comp

Abstract:

Cerebral infarctions of cardiac etiology are observed in around 20% of patients with ischemic stroke. Cerebral ischemia is the first clinical manifestation in 1/3 of cases of atrial myxomas. Although almost half of patients with atrial myxoma show changes at neurological exam, non-hemorrhagic cerebral infarction is seen in computed tomography in practically all cases. We present the case of a 40 year-old woman whose first clinical manifestation of atrial myxoma was an ischemic stroke. We point out to the possibility of silent cerebral infarction in atrial myxoma patients.

Abstract Background Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults and are most commonly found within the left atrium. These are usually asymptomatic, detected incidentally, or present gradually with symptoms typical of heart failure. Case Description This case report is a description of a case of syncope caused by a large left atrial myxoma. Conclusion Atrial myxomas may present with transient loss of consciousness, especially when they prolapse through the atrioventricular valves or when embolization occurs.

Primary cardiac tumors are a rare entity whose incidence in the general population ranges from 0.0017% to 0.28%. Myxomas represent nearly half of all primary benign cardiac tumors and they prevalently affect female patients. Embolic manifestation is rare with a reported incidence of 0.06%.We present the case of a 30-year-old male patient with acute anterolateral infarction caused by total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery as a consequence of a left atrial myxoma embolization.

Abstract:

Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular supply of the tumor. We report herein an interesting and rare case of a left atrial myxoma hypervascularized from the right coronary artery.

ABSTRACT Left atrial myxomas are usually attached to the interatrial septum. This case highlights the unusual site of attachment of left atrial myxoma. The site of attachment was via a broad stalk at the junction of mitral valve annulus close to anterior mitral leaflet and adjacent left atrial wall. Transesophageal echocardiography helped in the detection of site of attachment as well as in postoperative evaluation. How to cite this article Makhija N, Irpachi K, Chowdhury UK, Kiran U.

Abstract:

Myxoma is the most common type of primary benign heart tumor and is usually easily identified by echocardiography. Tumor vascularity is a rare finding in atrial myxomas and reported cases of the right atrial myxomas most frequently involve feeding vessels from the right coronary artery or, less frequently, from both coronary arteries. In this case report, an echocardiographic examination of a 74-year-old male, who was admitted to hospital with chest pain revealed an echogenic solid mass in the right atrium. A coronary angiography showed an arteriocavity fistula connecting the feeding artery to

Cardiac myxomas are benign primary tumors of the heart that require prompt surgical intervention because of the possibility of developing syncope and hemodynamic or embolic complications. From 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1996, 20 patients (11 male and 9 female) underwent surgery for cardiac myxoma at Singapore General Hospital. Nineteen patients had a left atrial myxoma and 1 had a right atrial myxoma. Five patients had concomitant coronary artery disease including one with severe mitral regurgitation.

Background: Cardiac tumors are the least seen type of all primary tumors, accounting for only less than 0.1% of total cardiac tumors. Atrial myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac tumor, with more than 75% of myxomas originating in the left atrium, either at the mitral annulus or the fossa ovalis border of the interatrial septum. Atrial myxomas are associated with a triad of complications: obstruction, emboli, and constitutional symptoms (such as fever and weight loss).

AbstractPrimary cardiac tumours are rarely found and have an incidence of 0.3% in all open-heart surgeries. Among those, approximately 70% are myxomas, most of them in the left atrium. The reported incidence of cardiac tumours in autopsy series is 0.001–0.28%. Right atrial myxomas are uncommon, but when present they often originate from the interatrial septum, and conduction disturbances are rarely noted as an accompanying feature in this condition. We report the case of an 18-year-old boy with a myxoma in both left and right atrium associated with atrioventricular dissociation.
