  Abstract

In a 60-year-old woman with episodic exertional faintness, a large left ventricular (LV) myxoma attached by a pedicle to the apical interventricular septum and prolapsing through the LV outflow tract and the aortic valve causing a severe obstruction was found by echocardiography. Early surgical excision was successfully performed using the transaortic approach.

Keywords: Left ventricular myxoma; Subaortic obstruction; Echocardiography; Transaortic surgical excision
