AI Article Synopsis
- - Atrial myxoma is a rare heart tumor that can lead to serious issues like stroke and sudden cardiac death, making early surgery important.
- - The case involves a 73-year-old man who was found to have a left atrial myxoma while he was undergoing anesthesia for stomach surgery due to a new pyloric tumor.
- - It's crucial to manage anesthesia carefully in these patients and involve a team of specialists (anaesthetists, surgeons, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons) to reduce risks during surgery.
Article Abstract
Atrial myxoma is a rare cardiac tumour that is associated with serious complications such as sudden cardiac death and stroke and warrants early surgical resection. We report a case of a 73-year-old male with an incidental diagnosis of left atrial myxoma undergoing general anaesthesia for laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy, D2 lymphadenectomy, and Roux-en-Y gastroduodenectomy for a newly diagnosed pyloric tumour. Careful anaesthetic considerations and management need to be taken when undergoing non-cardiac surgery to mitigate the peri-operative complications of the left atrial myxoma. Collaborative management under a multidisciplinary team of anaesthetists, surgeons, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons is essential.
