This case highlights the rare coexistence of coronary artery disease and left atrial myxoma requiring surgical re-operation.
The association of coronary artery disease and left atrial myxoma is a rare entity. A 64-year-old man with previous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting 11 years ago was presented with a large mobile and pe- dunculated left atrial mass detected incidentally. The patient underwent re-operation including resection of the left atrial mass and coronary artery bypass grafting. The postoperative course was uneventful. The histo- pathological examination revealed myxoma. We here mention the possibility of coronary artery disease and left atrial myxoma.
