Minimally Invasive Thoracoscopic Resection of a Giant Right‐Atrial Lipoma on the Beating Heart: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary cardiac lipomas are rare benign tumors that are usually indolent but may cause compression or arrhythmia when large. We sought to describe the safety and feasibility of a totally thoracoscopic, off‐pump approach for their resection. A 33‐year‐old asymptomatic woman was found to have a 5.1 × 3.6 cm fat‐density mass at the roof of the ...

Cardiac myxoma: An uncommon cause of recurrent stroke in uncommon age

International Journal of Advanced Medical and Health Research, 2015
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of cardiogenic emboli in stroke, responsible for over 50% cases of total stroke patients. Myxoma is responsible only in few cases. A stroke caused by left atrial myxoma commonly occur in young females.

Carbon Dioxide Insufflation for Assessment of Pericardial Adhesions and Informed Decision‐Making for Percutaneous Epicardial Access in a Patient With Prior Cardiac Surgery

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
Carbon dioxide insufflation via intentional coronary sinus perforation allowed real‐time assessment of pericardial adhesion distribution before pericardial puncture. Despite localized adhesions, visualization of preserved pericardial space at the intended access site enabled informed procedural planning and safe percutaneous epicardial ablation in a ...

Left Atrial Myxoma Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Patient Coronary Arterial Grafts: a Rarity

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
The development of left atrial myxoma after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a rare entity. A 60-year-old man with previous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting four years ago with patent coronary grafts was diagnosed with left atrial mass ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and a rare case of an atrial myxoma causing an atrial septal defect

Radiology Case Reports, 2017
A 40 year-old athletic woman presented with worsening dyspnea on exertion over the preceding several months. Chest radiograph showed borderline cardiomegaly and subsequent echocardiography demonstrated a 5.0-cm left atrial mass as well as left-to-right ...

Role of transesophageal echocardiography in the recurrent biatrial myxoma of uncommon origin

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2022
After surgical excision of myxoma recurrence usually happens adjacent to the initial origin site. We report a case of recurrent myxomas in a young male patient that had biatrial recurrence with one tumor originating very unusually from the base of the ...
