Abstract

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Syncopal patients should be evaluated for cardiac causes, including myxoma, as highlighted in this case. Transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography are valuable diagnostic tools. Interventional cardiology plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of myxoma. ABSTRACT: This case video describes the presentation and successful treatment of a 58-year-old woman who experienced recurrent episodes of syncope. After ruling out other health concerns, a pulmonary embolism was suspected and further investigations revealed a mass in the left atrium causing significant obstruction of the mitral valve. The mass, identified as a neovascularized myxoma, was successfully resected, emphasizing the significance of considering myxoma as a potential cause of syncope and highlighting the role of interventional cardiology in its management.
