Abstract
A patient with prolonged duration, bacterial infection, and echocardiographic disappearance of an atrial myxoma following embolization is discussed. Following aortic saddle embolus, all echocardiographic manifestations of the patient's left atrial myxoma disappeared. Previous cases of infected atrial myxomas are reviewed. The necessity of early surgical intervention, despite active infection, is discussed.Entities:
