Abstract
We describe a patient with left atrial myxoma associated with acute myocardial infarction. Since hemodynamics were impaired even with the support of an intra-aortic balloon pump, the patient underwent removal of the tumor concomitant with coronary artery bypass grafting to the right coronary artery on the fifth day from infarction onset. In circumstances of life-threatening of myxoma associated with acute myocardial infarction, removal of myxoma with coronary artery bypass should be performed in an acute phase of myocardial infarction.Entities:
