Atrial myxomas are rare tumors that require surgical excision. However, in the presence of a severely calcified ascending aorta, such excision becomes rather challenging and difficult. Here we report a case of a left atrial myxoma in a 64-year-old woman with an extensively calcified aorta that was successfully excised using cardiopulmonary bypass beating-heart technique without the need for cardioplegic cardiac arrest and aortic cross-clamping. The use of this technique proved useful with no increased risk incurred to the patient.
心房黏液瘤是需要手术切除的罕见肿瘤。然而，在升主动脉严重钙化的情况下，这种切除变得相当具有挑战性和困难。在此，我们报告一例64岁女性左心房黏液瘤病例，其主动脉广泛钙化，采用体外循环心脏跳动技术成功切除，无需心脏停搏和主动脉阻断。事实证明，使用该技术是有效的，且未给患者带来额外风险。
