Technical aspects of robotically assisted left atrial myxoma resection

Abstract

A 67-year-old male presented with a 2-month history of lightheadedness and a near-syncopal episode. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) demonstrated a mobile, 4.1 cm mass in the superior and medial aspect of the left atrium concerning for myxoma. Coronary angiography demonstrated tumor neovascularization with a primary feeder vessel arising from the proximal right coronary artery.
