Concomittant Coronary Revascularization and Resection of a Cardiac Tumor

Abstract

Ischemic cardiac diseases are the leading causes of mortality in the developed and developing regions of the world. Although vascular problems may accompany coronary artery disease, association of primary cardiac tumors with ischemic heart disease and the treatment of the combination are rarely reported in the literature. This report presents a male patient who successfully underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting with resection of right atrial myxoma. In this report, we present a case of ischemic heart disease and myxoma treated successfully in the same surgical session.
