Accessory Mitral Valve Leaflet Causing Severe Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in a Preterm Neonate with a Partial Atrioventricular Septal Defect.

abstract：:Cardiac myxomas are primary cardiac tumors. In some cases of atrial myxoma, the standard left atriotomy alone does not enable safe tumor resection and easy access to the mitral valve. We report the cases of 2 patients with huge left atrial myxomas associated with severe mitral valve regurgitation who underwent an inve...
