    Author: Das AK, Reddy KS, Suwanjindar P, Fulmer A, Siquiera C, Floten HS, Starr A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1996 Nov; 62(5):1526-8. PubMed ID: 8893604.
    Abstract:
    Primary tumors of the aorta are rare and are usually malignant. Thirty-three cases are reported in the world literature, of which 2 are myxomas. The diagnosis is difficult and is commonly made postoperatively or at autopsy. We present a case of intraluminal aortic myxoma that presented as recurrent arterial emboli and was managed successfully. This case showed the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography in diagnosis.
