Why the study?
What are the surgical outcomes and potential complications of excising complex, calcified left atrial myxomas?
Population
2 patients (a 72-year-old woman and a 68-year-old man) with calcified left atrial myxomas
Design
Case_series
Key result
Surgical excision of complex, calcified left atrial myxomas encroaching on the mitral annulus resulted in contrasting outcomes in two patients, ranging from successful repair to fatal multiorgan failure.

What are the surgical outcomes and potential complications of excising complex, calcified left atrial myxomas?
Excision of complex, calcified left atrial myxomas near the mitral annulus or atrioventricular septum can lead to severe structural and conduction complications, highlighting the need for meticulous surgical planning.
Lizwan et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Calcified left atrial myxoma (n=2). Surgical excision was evaluated. Surgical excision of complex, calcified left atrial myxomas encroaching on the mitral annulus resulted in contrasting outcomes in two patients, ranging from successful repair to fatal multiorgan failure.
