Abstract

The authors report a case of aortic valve myxoma discovered in a 35 years-old patient who suffered a transient ischemic attack. At operation a helicoidal gelatinous mass was found attached to the ventricular side of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve by a pedicle. Through a mini-sternotomy approach the mass was excised and the cusp was repaired. Recovery was uneventful.
