Overview

Cardiac myxoma was first described in 1845. In 1951, Prichard described a kind of microscopic endocardial structure of the atrial septum, which was suggested to be associated with cardiac myxoma. Clarence Crafoord, a Swedish cardiovascular surgeon successfully removed a cardiac myxoma for the first time in 1954. Before 1951, cardiac myxoma diagnosis was made only at post-mortem examination.

Historical perspective

  • In 1845, the first description of a left atrial myxoma was reported by King.[1]
  • In 1951, Prichard described a kind of microscopic endocardial structure of the atrial septum, which was suggested to be related to cardiac myxoma.[2] In the same year, intracardiac myxoma was recognized by angiography for the first time. Before 1951, cardiac myxoma diagnosis was made only at autopsy.
  • In 1959, the first M-mode echocardiogram was used to diagnose a left atrial myxoma.[3]
  • In 2000, gene mutation PRKAR1A was first identified in the pathogenesis of cardiac myxoma syndromes, such as; LAMB (lentigines, atrial myxoma, mucocutaneous myxomas and blue nevi), NAME (nevi, atrial myxoma, mucinosis of the skin, and endocrine overactivity), and Carney complex (myxomas, spotty skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity).[4][5]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • In 1954, Clarence Crafoord (1899 – 1984), a Swedish cardiovascular surgeon, successfully removed a cardiac myxoma for the first time. This case also represents the first extirpation of a cardiac tumor on cardiopulmonary support.[6]
