Simultaneously Performed, Totally Endoscopic Left Atrial Myxoma Resection and Lobectomy

Heart Surg Forum. 2020 May 8;23(3):E292-E294. doi: 10.1532/hsf.2839.

Abstract

The patient was a 69-year-old male patient with cancer in the right lung and whose preoperative examination showed left atrial myxoma. Simultaneous surgery for both cardiac myxoma resection and a lobectomy by totally endoscopic surgery without robotic assistance was performed. First, the cardiac tumor on the heart was removed using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), then a lobectomy without any new incisions was performed. This case provides evidence that in individual select patients, a left atrial myxoma resection and lobectomy can be performed under total endoscopy at the same time.
