Neovascularization in Left Atrial Myxoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
ABSTRACT We report a case with a left atrial mass who underwent coronary angiography to rule out coronary artery disease. Coronary angiography revealed an anomalous tortuous vascular structure originating from the left circumflex coronary artery to the left atrial tumor suggestive of neovascularization. Preoperative coronary angiography is useful for coronary artery evaluation and also provides additional information regarding the feeding vessel supplying the mass.

Left Atrial Myxoma: A Rare Tumor in a Child
Atrial myxomas are uncommon in the pediatric population but are very important due to pursuant atrioventricular valve obstruction and systemic embolic events. Concerning multiple symptoms ranging from congestive heart failure to neurological deficits, the diagnosis of this disease is complicated. This paper reports a case of left atrium myxoma in a child treated with a surgical excision o...
متن کاملA Giant Left Atrial Myxoma Neovascularized from the Right Coronary Artery
Myxomas are benign and the most common tumors of the cardiac muscle (Reynen, 1995). They are predominantly located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestations may vary according to the localization and the size of the myxoma. On the other hand, imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is a rare sign, which displays the vascular supply of the tumor. Here, we report the cas...
متن کاملAn unusual presentation of a usual cardiac mass: neo-vascularised left-atrial myxoma.
A 57-year-old female patient was admitted with dys-pnoea. With two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic and trans-oesophageal echocardiography, a left-atrial myxoma of 3.1 Â 4 cm was diagnosed. Coronary angiography demonstrated that the myxoma had been neo-vascularised originating from the circumflex artery (Fig. 1). The tumour was resected successfully with cardiopulmonary bypass (Fig. 2). Fig. 1. I...

Myxoma is the most common type of primary tumors of heart. Recurrence of nonfamilial myxoma is unusual and recurrence in left atrial appendage is not reported. We present a case of sporadic myxoma in the left atrium who had a successful resection. However, the patient’s constitutional symptoms caused confusion and difficulty in diagnosis. Final diagnosis was recurrent Myxoma in the left atri...
متن کاملA Neovascularized Left Atrial Mass
Background. The discovery of a large left atrial mass through echocardiography obliges the clinician to perform a differential diagnosis to distinguish tumor from thrombus. The neovascularization of the mass could be helpful to predict the type of the malformation and whether it is in favour of a vacular tumour rather than a thrombus . Observation. A 43-years-old man who had no cardiac antecede...
