Abstract
Objective To use CiteSpace and VOSviewer visual metrology to analyze the research status, frontier hotspots, and trends in research on atrial myxoma. Methods The Web of Science core collection database was used to retrieve relevant literature on atrial myxoma from 2001 to 2022. CiteSpace software was used to analyze keywords with a co-occurrence network, co-polymerization class, and burst terms, and a corresponding visual atlas was drawn for analysis. Results A total of 893 valid articles were included. The country with the highest number of articles was the United States (n = 186). The organization with the highest number of articles was the Mayo Clinic (n = 15). The author with the highest number of articles was Yuan SM (n = 12). The highest cited author was Reynen K (n = 312). The highest cited journal was Annals of Thoracic Surgery (n = 1,067). The most frequently cited literature was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1995, which was cited 233 times. The keywords co-occurrence, copolymerization analysis, and Burst analysis revealed that the main research focuses were surgical methods, case reports, and genetic and molecular level studies on the pathogenesis of myxoma. Conclusions This bibliometric analysis revealed that the main research topics and hotspots in atrial myxoma included surgical methods, case reports, genetic and molecular studies.

Vaideeswar P, Yadav S. Vascular tangle in the inter-atrial septum - Is it the source of cardiac myxoma? INDIAN J PATHOL MICR 2021; 64:469-471.

Abstract
Background Cardiac myxomas (CMs) are the most common primary tumors of the heart, said to be derived from pluripotent cardiac stem cells. They are most often attached to the left side of the inter-atrial septum (IAS) and a feature noted at the site of attachment is a conglomeration of thick-walled vessels that has been noted to precede the development of myxomas. Aims The present study was conducted to compare histology of the normal inter-atrial septa to the septal flap excised with the myxomas and to evaluate the significance of this 'vascular tangle' in the histogenesis of these tumors. Materials and Methods In a 10-year retrospective analysis of all surgically excised CMs, tumors with attached septal sleeves were selected. This histology was compared to the serial sections of 25 normal age-matched septa obtained from normal hearts at autopsy. Results Of the 56 myxomas seen in 10 years, 38 tumors (all left atrial in location) were received with a flap of the IAS. All of these cases, irrespective of the sizes of the tumor, showed the presence of conglomeration of thick-walled blood vessels, many of which showed abrupt myxoid change in their walls. Another noteworthy feature in many vessels in all flaps was migration of the myxoid tissue through the vascular walls and the endocardium to mushroom out into the atrial lumen. Such vascular channels were not seen in any of the normal IAS. Conclusions Based on these findings, we propose a two-step hypothesis: an initial step that stimulates the pluripotent cells toward vasculogenesis with endothelial and smooth muscle differentiation, and a subsequent step leads to production of abundant mucopolysaccharides that splay apart the smooth muscle cells, which would explain rings, cords or nests of myxoma cells around endothelial lined spaces.

Abstract
Preoperative coronary angiography for cardiac myxoma not only excludes coronary artery disease but also detects the artery feeding the cardiac myxoma, which has several clinical implications. In this study, we examined cardiac myxoma cases in two tertiary hospitals using coronary angiography to identify the artery feeding the myxoma. We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients with cardiac myxoma who had undergone surgical removal between July 2008 and December 2015 in two tertiary hospitals, and recorded their baseline characteristics, echocardiographic findings, and coronary angiography. Among those 42 patients, 23 (55%) had coronary angiography before surgery and in no case was significant luminal narrowing observed. In 21 of the coronary angiograms, the artery feeding the cardiac myxoma had a vascular branch (100%), clusters of tortuous vessels with contrast medium pooling (67%), an arteriocavity fistula (33%), and a mobile feeding artery (67%). No significant relationship was found between coronary artery dominance type and the origin of the artery feeding the cardiac myxoma (P = 0.362). Identification of the artery feeding the cardiac myxoma, with a distinctive vascular appearance in coronary angiography, is important for several clinical applications such as helping to diagnose cardiac myxoma and to plan the surgical approach.

Abstract
Myxoma is a common benign tumour found in the heart. On reviewing literature, we found some left atrial myxomas receive blood supply from the right coronary artery. Performing a coronary angiogram in a cardiac tumour has the following uses: (1) it shows the vascularity that can be ligated by the surgeon at operation; (2) if there is a blood supply visible, it may not be an intracardiac thrombus; (3) the coronary angiogram may detect a myxoma even before an echocardiogram does so; (4) some myxomas may bleed into the right atrium or left atrium and this may be seen on coronary angiography. We show here the neovascularity of a left atrial myxoma and its blood supply from the right coronary artery. We recommend that all routine coronary angiograms be reviewed carefully for any signs of tumour vascularity or tumour blush as this would prevent missing early myxomas. Echocardiography is the gold standard for detection of myxomas but literature has a number of intracardiac tumours that were detected only by the tumour blush. Some left atrial tumours have been treated by occluding their blood supply.The absence of a blood supply on coronary angiography could rule out a benign cardiac tumour that usually has a blood supply.

Abstract
Carney complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome. Spotty skin pigmentation is the major clinical manifestation of CNC, followed by cardiac myxomas, benign tumors that usually present with features from the classical triad of obstructive cardiac, embolic and non-specific constitutional symptoms (NCS). NCS are caused by the overproduction of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine which mediates the induction of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and promotes endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Thus, myxomas may be directly linked to an increased risk of atherosclerotic events. We report here a case of a 74-year-old woman with left atrial myxoma, skin pigmentary abnormalities, thyroid disorder and extensive atherosclerosis, with non-embolic occlusion of infrarenal abdominal aorta.

Abstract
Cardiac tumors are rare, and of these, primary cardiac tumors are even rarer. Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 100 times more common than the primary tumors. About 90% of primary cardiac tumors are benign, and of these the most common are cardiac myxomas. Approximately 12% of primary cardiac tumors are completely asymptomatic while others present with one or more signs and symptoms of the classical triad of hemodynamic changes due to intracardiac obstruction, embolism and nonspecific constitutional symptoms. Echocardiography is highly sensitive and specific in detecting cardiac tumors. Other helpful investigations are chest X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography scan. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for primary cardiac tumors and is usually associated with a good prognosis. This review article will focus on the general features of benign cardiac tumors with an emphasis on cardiac myxomas and their molecular basis.
