Redo totally endoscopic 3D surgery for recurrent left atrial myxoma causing cerebrovascular accidents with a novel technique: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRecurrent left atrial myxoma is rare but clinically significant due to its potential for embolic complications, including cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Minimally invasive redo procedures remain technically challenging, particularly in the presence of postoperative adhesions. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 39-year-old Asian female with a history of totally endoscopic myxoma resection via axillary thoracotomy in June 2023, who presented with new-onset right upper limb weakness. Imaging revealed a recurrent left atrial myxoma (20 × 30 mm) attached to the interatrial septum, along with acute ischemic infarcts in the left cerebral hemisphere. The patient underwent successful redo totally endoscopic 3D surgery using a right atrial approach and a double-port (Double-port approach, Camera and main port in the same intercostal space, Totally endoscopic with a skin incision <3 cm, DCT) technique. Partial resection of the interatrial septum was performed to minimize recurrence risk. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times were 110 and 90 min, respectively. Recovery was uneventful, with complete neurological and cardiac function restored.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that redo totally endoscopic 3D resection of recurrent left atrial myxoma is feasible and safe, even in the setting of pleural adhesions. The right atrial approach, combined with the DCT technique, offers a precise and minimally invasive strategy for managing recurrent cardiac tumors with embolic potential.
