“…Arguably, the most feared consequence of cardiac tumors is systemic embolization with some studies estimating this risk to be as high as 30% to 40% in patients with myxomas. 4,5,7 The risk of embolization is not limited to myxomas; papillary fibroelastomas and other tumor types have been reported to have high rates of embolization as well. 8,9 Due to the low incidence of cardiac tumors, there have been no studies appropriately designed and powered to develop a risk prediction model of tumor and clinical factors that may predispose to embolization.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] The emboli generally display a predilection for the central nervous system, but also can affect other organs such as the liver, spleen, kidney, retina, coronary vessels, and distal arterial tree. Large saddle emboli lodging in the abdominal aorta have been reported previously [6][7][8] and may follow other emboli 7,9) or occur without preceding symptoms, 10) as in the present case.…”

“…It is not unusual for the symptoms to be of sudden onset, intermittent, and related to the patient's postural position. 13 Left atrial myxoma most commonly presents as a simulated mitral valve disease, usually mitral regurgitation and stenosis rather than mitral stenosis alone. The symptoms in this case would be due to high left atrial pressure in the form of dyspnea on exertion.…”

“…1,2 It occurs at all ages but is rare in children and it is three times more common in females than males. 2,3 Myxomas are often rapidly fatal if undiagnosed and surgical removal delayed.…”
