Left Atrial Myxoma Hypervascularized from the Right Coronary Artery: An Interesting Cath Lab Finding

Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular supply of the tumor. We report herein an in...
