  • Title: Large atrial myxoma causing mitral obstruction and severe pulmonary hypertension.
    Author: Brant LC, Mitu O, Gomide L, Bráulio R, Nunes MC.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2011 May; 20(3):357-9. PubMed ID: 21714431.
    Abstract:
    Myxoma is the most common type of cardiac tumor, accounting for 30-50% of all primary cardiac tumors. Clinically, patients usually present with at least one of the classic triad of obstructive cardiac, embolic, and constitutional signs. The case is reported of a large atrial myxoma in the left atrium which caused mitral valve obstruction, leading to severe pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure, mimicking rheumatic mitral stenosis. Postoperatively, a fall occurred in the patient's pulmonary artery pressure and she showed clinical improvement.
