Concomitant Multiple Coronary Artery Embolizations and Bilateral Lower Limb Ischemia due to Dislodged Left Atrial Myxoma-Like Thrombus

Sumario:The differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses is challenging. Cardiac myxomas are benign primary heart tumors and most often are confused with thrombi in diagnosis.

A mobile left atrial mass detected and decided surgical excision. But the mass had vanished one day after and caused ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and bilateral lower limb ischemia.
