“…The decision to postpone it to after delivery depends on the gestational age of pregnancy, worsening symptoms, and the echocardiography findings. Traisrisilp et al, 20 reported a large (9 cm) cardiac myxoma in the left atrium diagnosed at 28 weeks gestation. Being asymptomatic, the patient was allowed to continue her pregnancy to full term.…”

A 29-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 2) presented at 28 weeks+2 days of gestation with a two-months history of dyspnea associated with orthopnea and occasional palpitations. On transthoracic echocardiography, she was diagnosed with a 3.2 × 2.7 cm left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent open surgical resection at 30 weeks of gestation. She had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged on the ninth day. At 41 weeks of gestation, she gave birth by cesarean to a healthy baby of normal weight. Both the mother and the baby were discharged in stable condition.

“…If the tumor is diagnosed after the rst trimester but before the late third trimester, surgery is supposed to be carried out without delay. If the diagnosis takes place in the third trimester of pregnancy, delivery via cesarean section should be carried out rst, in view of the consensus that fetus in this trimester would gain a high probability of survival without severe complications [15]. Our management strategies were the same as those of Traisrisilp.…”

Background Left atrial myxoma during pregnancy is rare. We present three cases in order to aid in the management. Case report Three cases of left atrial myxoma during pregnancy were presented in this article. Three patients all received multidisciplinary team work and acquired good outcomes. The case 1 had no symptoms and delivered before traditional cardiac surgery. The case 2 and case 3 undergone totally endoscopic minimally invasive cardiac surgery during pregnancy. The case 3 maintained pregnancy to term and gave birth to a healthy baby via vaginal delivery . No relapse of the tumor was observed. Conclusions The management of left atrial myxoma during pregnancy ought to be individualized and combined with the gestational age. If the diagnosis was made in the first two trimesters of pregnancy, totally endoscopic minimally invasive cardiac surgery during pregnancy would be an optimal choose. The patients can benefit from the multidisciplinary team work.

BACKGROUND: This article describes cardiac myxoma in a pregnant woman at 15 weeks of gestation. CASE PRESENTATION: A large left atrial myxoma, despite the asymptomatic clinical presentation, was diagnosed during echocardiography. Given the significant risk of cardiac complications, the tumor was surgically removed at 19 weeks gestation. The postoperative period as well as the second and third trimesters of pregnancy were uneventful. At 40 weeks of gestation, live full-term baby was born by vaginal birth mode of delivery without any apparent pathology. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates the significance of timely diagnosis and treatment of myxoma as well as the need for continuous monitoring at different stages of pregnancy and their positive impact on disease outcome.
