  • Title: Novel strategies for recurrent cardiac myxoma.
    Author: Rathore KS, Hussenbocus S, Stuklis R, Edwards J.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2008 Jun; 85(6):2125-6. PubMed ID: 18498840.
    Abstract:
    A 21-year-old man presented with a stroke. Subsequent investigations revealed cardiac tumors in his left atrium and right ventricle. These were removed by conventional techniques. Histopathology confirmed them as myxomas. He had a complete neurologic recovery, but presented 2 years later with recurrence of a cardiac myxoma in his left ventricle and left atrium. This time, however, endoscopically assisted techniques were used. The tumor was excised with supplementary cryoablation. The patient made a quick recovery from this second procedure and has had no recurrence after a 1-year follow-up.
