Complicated Sporadic Cardiac Myxomas : A Second Recurrence and Myxomatous Cerebral Aneurysms in One Patient

Abstract EN

A second recurrence of an excised nonfamilial cardiac myxoma is rare.

Myxomatous cerebral aneurysms as a complication of cardiac myxomas are equally rare.

A unique case of a patient with a total of 4 myxomas over a 20-year interval is presented.

Her most recent presentation was a second recurrence of a left atrial myxoma, a de novo right atrial myxoma, and multiple cerebral myxomatous aneurysms.

The challenging reconstruction of the normal anatomy was achieved with the use of porcine extracellular matrix patches.

A diagnostic cerebral angiogram was later performed, and the aneurysms will be monitored for growth and possible intervention.
