Left atrial myxoma with coronary artery disease: an unexpected preoperative finding--case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a 54-year-old man with no symptoms of a cardiac disease who, in the preoperative assessment for eye surgery was diagnosed to have a left atrial myxoma coupled with coronary artery disease. After thorough investigations, the patient underwent resection of the left atrial tumor and coronary artery bypass grafting with a succesful outcome. The histopathological examination revealed a myxoma. This case report highlights the importance of preoperative evaluation in patients with unsuspected coexisting cardiac diseases, treatment options and the anesthetic concerns.

متن کاملLeft Atrial Myxoma Hypervascularized from the Right Coronary Artery: An Interesting Cath Lab Finding
Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular supply of the tumor. We report herein an interesting and rare case of a left atrial myxoma hypervascularized from the right coronary artery.
