Fortuitous discovery of a left atrial myxoma following acute myocardial infarction.

چکیده
Routine echocardiography following acute myocardial infarction revealed a large totally asymptomatic left atrial myxoma. One year after excision of the myxoma and coronary artery by-pass grafting, the patient remains well.

Acquired coronary fistula after left ventricular de-airing by apical needle aspiration.
Acquired coronary fistula is uncommon, but has been reported to occur after several surgical procedures, acute myocardial infarction, endomyocardial biopsy, coronary angioplasty, and thoracic trauma. We describe the occurrence of a left coronary to left ventricular cavity fistula following resection of a left atrial myxoma, with spontaneous closure in the following weeks. The fistula was likely...
متن کاملAtrial myxoma related myocardial infarction: Case report and review of the literature.
Atrial myxomas are the commonest primary cardiac tumors and usually affect the left atrium. Patients with atrial myxomas present with intracardiac obstruction, embolization to the pulmonary and systemic circulation, or constitutional symptoms. The coronary arteries' involvement in myxomatous embolization, although rare, has been described to cause acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We report a ...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Myxoma: A Rare Nonatherosclerotic Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction from coronary artery embolism is a very rare but potentially lethal sequel of left atrial myxoma. Most atrial myxomas causing myocardial infarction are diagnosed retrospectively after a 2D echocardiogram is performed for assessment of myocardial function after a myocardial infarction. We present a relatively healthy 53-year-old male with anterolateral wall myocardial infar...
متن کاملThe early presentation of atrial myxoma with acute myocardial infarction.
Atrial myxoma as a rare benign heart tumor can cause acute coronary syndrome via coronary embolization. In this report, we present a 54-year-old woman who presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction. In further evaluation a 2.5 x 3 x 4 cm mass was found in the left atrium. The mass was excised surgically and its pathology was compatible with myxoma. After resection, the patient was disc...
متن کاملIntracoronary catheter aspiration can be an adequate option in patients with acute myocardial infarction caused by left atrial myxoma.
Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign cardiac tumors and can be associated with systemic embolization including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The probability of an arterial embolization is closely related to a tumor's villous morphology. In cases of AMI caused by cardiac myxoma, open heart surgery including excision of the coronary artery has been the one of the treatment options for ...
