Surgical Treatment for Pulmonary Embolization of a Right Atrial Myxoma
2019, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Histologic examination of the masses revealed their myxomatous nature. It is documented that chronic pulmonary obstruction by emboli of myxoma results in irreversible pulmonary hypertension [8]. An accurate surgical removal of these emboli from cardiovascular structures has to be considered as curative treatment, given the benign nature of this type of tumor.
Sudden death due to acute pulmonary embolism from asymptomatic right atrial myxoma
2008, Journal of Forensic and Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Due to these findings, it was concluded that the nodules were derived from the fragments of the fragile tumor which had been recurrently embolized in the peripheral vessels since before. Heath et al. demonstrated an embolized fragment of myxoma invading the adventitia,8 and believed the myxoma tissue proliferated and invaded the occluded vessels. It might be concerned with the present case, but we were unable to confirm these sequential events in the fragile tumors.
Fragmentation of a right atrial myxoma presenting as a pulmonary embolism
2000, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :Small tumors can be detected by TEE. A few cases of RAM complicated with pulmonary embolism have been published.4-11 In the cases reported to date, the duration of symptoms before the diagnosis of RAM with pulmonary embolus was between 3 days and 3.5 years.
