Implication

May guide imaging selection in rare vascular cardiac masses; leaves open need for systematic validation.

Key Points

To describe the multimodal imaging evaluation and surgical management of a rare, highly vascularized cardiac myxoma that presented as an acute myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation.
Evaluated a 75-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Performed diagnostic coronary angiography and angiotomography to visualize intracardiac tumor morphology and assess coronary vascularization.
Diagnostic imaging revealed an intracardiac mass with prominent, complex neovascularization arising from the coronary circulation.
High-definition multi-imaging visualization provided critical anatomical and vascular detail that guided successful surgical resection of the neoplasm.

Structured PICO

Population

75-year-old woman presenting with atrial fibrillation and NSTEMI secondary to a highly vascularized cardiac mass (myxoma)

Intervention

Multi-image assessment (coronary angiography and angiotomography) and surgical management

High-definition multi-imaging assessment is crucial for the surgical management of highly vascularized cardiac myxomas presenting atypically with NSTEMI and atrial fibrillation.
