A myxoma is a benign primary cardiac tumor that grows on the wall (atrial septum) that separates the two sides of the heart.
Myxomas are surgically removed, once they reach a specific size, or are in a position that may threaten the well-being of the patient.
Our cardiac specialists perform over 650 heart surgeries every year, including procedures performed using minimally invasive techniques.
Our interventional cardiologists boast a 100 percent success rate on catheter-based closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
