title: [Anesthetic management for non-cardiac operation with transesophageal echocardiography in a patient with left atrial myxoma].
abstract: A 68-year-old female with left atrial myxoma underwent osteosynthesis of the night tibia. During the operation we observed the motion of the tumor continuously by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The operation was finished successfully without any cardiovascular complications. We think that TEE was useful for observation of left atrial myxoma during this non-cardiac surgery.
