Abstract
Objectives:Although echocardiography has traditionally been used to diagnose myxoma, invasive or non-invasive coronary angiography can be useful diagnostic tool before surgery.Methods:We present a case of an angiographically detected left atrial myxoma feeding from the left circumflex coronary artery.Results:The patient underwent open-heart surgery to remove the left atrial myxoma. After ligation of feeding artery, the mass was successfully excisedConclusion:Preoperative coronary angiography can offer additional valuable information moreover detecting coronary artery disease. Because, there is sudden death risk from embolization during invasive coronary angiography, preoperative cardiac computed tomography angiography should be considered to plan the surgery of myxoma.
