RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Myxoma of the mitral valve. JF British Heart Journal JO Heart FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Cardiovascular Society SP 221 OP 223 DO 10.1136/hrt.42.2.221 VO 42 IS 2 A1 F A Sandrasagra A1 W A Oliver A1 T A English YR 1979 UL http://heart.bmj.com/content/42/2/221.abstract AB A case of myxoma of the mitral valve is reported. The clinical features were indistinguishable from left atrial myxoma with prolapse through the mitral valve. Because of the known tendency for these tumours to recur it was treated by wide excision which necessitated replacement of the mitral valve.
