    Author: Bernatchez J, Gaudreault V, Vincent G, Rheaume P.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2018 Nov; 53():266.e13-266.e20. PubMed ID: 30012450.
    Abstract:
    Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac neoplasms. Multimodality imaging is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. The cardiovascular manifestations depend on myxomas location and size. Intracardiac obstruction, constitutional symptoms, and infected myxomas have been described. Though uncommon, myxomas should also be included in the diagnosis of peripheral embolization to the extremities or visceral aorta. We hereby present a rare case of left atrial myxoma with multiple systemic emboli and a review of the associated literature.
