Combination of right atrial and left ventricular myxoma.
Myxomas are common cardiac tumors that are managed by complete excision. The combination of a right atrial and left ventricular myxoma is very rare. We discuss a patient with right atrial and left ventricular myxoma who underwent successful surgical excision of both myxomas. There was no clinical or echocardiographic recurrence or valvular insufficiency at the 6-month follow-up.
