“…Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma. In contrast to previously reported cases, in which a filling defect was detected in the coronary ar- teries by angiography and aortocoronary bypass was performed, 4,6,9 the coronary tree was normal in our patient, and no bypass was required. We are following up the patient for recurrence of the myxoma.…”

A 38-year-old man presented with an acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI) and was subjected to thrombolysis. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization revealed a mass in the left atrium that was considered to be a myxoma. The coronary arteries appeared normal on angiography. The left atrial mass was removed surgically without complication. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of the myxoma. Coronary embolism secondary to the myxoma was thought to be the cause of the MI.

“…Although systemic embolization is a common complication of left-sided myxoma, coronary embolization is very rare. [2][3][4][5][6] We describe a young patient with left atrial myxoma who presented with an acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI).…”

“…On the contrary to the previously reported cases, in those a filling defect was detected in the coronary arteries by angiography and an aorto-coronary bypass was performed [8,10,11], however coronary tree was normal and no by-pass was required in our case. In our case, which was thrombolyzed with streptokinase and recanalization was observed, the coronary angiography may be not demonstrate a 'filling defect' in the coronary artery.…”

A 38-year-old male was admitted to our institution with left atrial myxoma complicated with acute myocardial infarction. The patient had no risk factor for coronary artery disease. A transthoracic echocardiographic study revealed the presence in the left atrium of an echogenic, mobile mass, compatible with myxoma. There were no endocrine hyperactivity, any other tumor and family history. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and aorto-coronary bypass surgery was not required in this patient. The tumor was successfully removed surgically. In conclusion, there could be no other etiologic possibility identified and therefore left atrial tumor causing coronary embolization and MI was considered the most likely event in this patient.
