title: [Angina pectoris with a left atrial myxoma; report of a case].
abstract: A 78-year-old woman who had been diagnosed as left atrial myxoma and angina pectoris underwent simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and resection of the left atrial myxoma. CABG was preceded by resection of myxoma to avoid systemic embolism of fragment of myxoma. Myocardial protection was secured by combination of antegrade and retrograde infusion of cardioplegia.
