Abstract

Surgical resection is standard of care for the treatment of atrial myxoma. However, the optimal management strategy for recurrent cardiac tumors is less clear. Here we report the novel use of a catheter-based device retrieval system for the removal of a recurrent cardiac myxoma.

Keywords: atrial myxoma; minimally invasive cardiac surgery; percutaneous device retrieval system; recurrent cardiac mass.
