ABSTRACT=<sec><title>Objective</title><p>To use CiteSpace and VOSviewer visual metrology to analyze the research status, frontier hotspots, and trends in research on atrial myxoma.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>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.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>A total of 893 valid articles were included. The country with the highest number of articles was the United States (<italic>n</italic> = 186). The organization with the highest number of articles was the Mayo Clinic (<italic>n</italic> = 15). The author with the highest number of articles was Yuan SM (<italic>n</italic> = 12). The highest cited author was Reynen K (<italic>n</italic> = 312). The highest cited journal was Annals of Thoracic Surgery (<italic>n</italic> = 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.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>This bibliometric analysis revealed that the main research topics and hotspots in atrial myxoma included surgical methods, case reports, genetic and molecular studies.</p></sec>
