Abstract
We report a rare case of left ventricular myxoma with embolization to the right coronary artery, presenting as an acute myocardial infarction. The tumor was excised from the left ventricle, and the tumor embolus was removed from the right coronary artery. Saphenous vein bypass grafting was also performed successfully.
