  • Title: [The surgical treatment of multiple myomas of the left heart].
    Author: Tsukerman GI, Kosach GA, Kozhokar' AN, Kavsadze VE.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1996; (6):40-4. PubMed ID: 9173149.
    Abstract:
    5 patients with multiple left heart myxomas have been followed for 30 years. There were 4 females and 1 male at the age of 20-50 years. Two-dimensional echocardiography was used for the proper diagnosis in all cases. Open-heart surgery is the only possible method of treatment in such a situation. All the patients have been successfully operated on. To prevent the recurrence the resection of myxomas with a part of interatrial septum and endocardium was performed. The trans-sternal approach is the optimal one for the surgery of myxomas.
