[Left atrial myxoma in a 16-year-old girl following acute myocardial infarction--a case report and a review of 17 cases in the world].
A 16-year-old girl had clinical signs of an acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography revealed left atrial myxoma and coronary angiography demonstrated a complete obstructive lesion at LAD. Coronary arterial embolization from myxoma was strongly suggested. The tumor was removed successfully 32 days after acute coronary embolization. Coronary embolization from left atrial myxoma is extremely rare. There are only 17 reports in the world and we reviewed these reports.
