Failed primary percutaneous coronary intervention in a middle-aged man without cardiovascular risk factors: left atrium myxoma

Abstract

Embolic events are rare presentation of myxoma, which is one of the most prevalent benign cardiac tumors. Here we report the case of a 53-year-old man with presentation of acute anterior infarction and occlusion of the left anterior descending artery in association with left atrial myxoma. Intracoronary aspiration thrombectomy along with frequent balloon inflation was failed to recover distal coronary blood flow.
