    Abstract:
    The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium (75%) followed by the right atrium (20%). In rare cases, myxomas can be found in the ventricles, with 2.5% reported for myxomas in the left ventricle. Systemic emboli, mostly cerebral, occur in two thirds of such patients, while coronary emboli are rare. Here we report a case of left ventricular myxoma causing infero-postero-lateral myocardial infarction, successfully treated by intracoronary thromboaspiration of myxoma embolus.
