Demonstrates the clinical value of echocardiography in diagnosing left atrial myxoma as a cause of acute coronary embolization and myocardial infarction in a pediatric patient.
An 11-year-old boy had clinical signs of an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. On echocardiography, a left atrial myxoma was demonstrated. Coronary artery embolization from myxoma was confirmed by selective coronary arteriography. The tumor was removed 12 days after acute coronary embolization. The clinical value of echocardiography is demonstrated in this report of a successful surgical excision of left atrial myxoma in a child with a myocardial infarction due to tumor embolization.
