Three years follow-up after cryoablation of a right atrial myxoma arising from the Koch’s triangle

Abstract

Abstract We reported 3 years ago the use of cryoablation in the treatment of a right atrium myxoma arising from the Koch’s triangle. The atrioventricular conduction was successfully preserved. Today, after 3 years follow-up, the patient remains with a conducted sinus rhythm and is free of recurrence. Even if extensive resection of the stack of the myxoma remains the first choice attitude, cryoablation could be considered as a serious second choice alternative.
