Implication

May prompt myxoma evaluation in unexplained embolic AMI; extends sparse case reports but leaves practice unchanged.

Structured PICO

P

Population

1 53-year-old male presenting with anterolateral wall myocardial infarction and 100% occlusion at the proximal part of the obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex coronary artery.

I

Intervention

Reperfusion, surgical resection of left atrial myxoma, and placement of an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

O

Outcome

Clinical improvement and tumor recurrence

Left atrial myxoma should be considered as a rare nonatherosclerotic cause of acute myocardial infarction due to coronary embolism.
