Abstract
The biatrial approach generally has been accepted as the method for excision of atrial myxoma, having the advantages of identifying the site of attachment, inspection of the four cardiac chambers, and adequate irrigation. A technique that uses this approach, adding safety and completeness of removal of left atrial myxomas attached to the septum, is described.
