[Left atrial myxoma: second recurrence 20 years after the first operation].

We report about a 52-year old woman, who underwent a resection of a left atrial myxoma 20 years ago. Twelve years later she suffered from exertional dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed a recurrent myxoma. This was resected. Eight years later the woman suffered from disturbances of heart rhythm and from angina pectoris. The coronary arteries were normal, but a recurrent left atrial myxoma was found and operated. We conclude a long-term follow-up is inevitable in patients after the resection of a myxoma.

[Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement].

We report about a woman with a rare complication after mitral valve replacement 24 years ago. The patient had a massive hemorrhage some hours after operation. We performed invasive diagnostics because of an increasing pressure gradient across the prosthesis and revealed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Before the planned reoperation the patient died suddenly. As the cause of death, we assumed a rupture of the pseudoaneurysm.
