Jawaid et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Atrial myxoma with acute ischaemic stroke and chronic right lower leg claudication (n=1). Surgical resection, thrombolytics, and angioplasty was evaluated on Symptom resolution. Treatment with thrombolytics, surgical resection of a left atrial myxoma, and angioplasty of the right common iliac artery resulted in complete resolution of neurological and claudication symptoms.
