Supports feasibility of surgical management for biatrial myxomas with AMI; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
A 26-year-old female presented with chest pain, numbness in the legs, and electrocardiographic signs of left ventricular aneurysm and recent myocardial infarction. Transesophageal echocardiography detected a mass in each atria. Angiography demonstrated normal coronary arteries, a left ventricular aneurysm, and an apical thrombus. At surgery, myxomas were excised from both atria and the aneurysm was plicated, followed by peripheral embolectomy. The patient made a good recovery.
