Atrial myxomas in young children: an alternative surgical approach

A case report and a brief review of the literature on atrial myxomas in young children (5 years and younger) are presented. Right atrial myxomas are predominant in this age group in contrast to older children and adults. The echocardiogram alone can provide clear anatomic information for the operation. For large left atrial myxomas, wide exposure through a transverse biatrial incision is recommended to avoid tumor manipulation and facilitate en bloc resection.
