The authors report a case of aortic valve myxoma discovered in a 34-year-old patient who had suffered a transient ischemic attack. At operation, a heliocoidal gelatinous mass was found attached to the ventricular side of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve via a pedicle. Through a ministernotomy approach the mass was excised and the cusp was repaired. Recovery was uneventful.
