Abstract
We report a rare case of concomitant pulmonary embolectomy and excision of a left atrial myxoma. A 64-year-old obese woman developed a pulmonary embolism 13 days after an operation for a brain tumor. Echocardiography revealed a 3-cm left atrial mass attached to the atrial septum. Urgent surgery, including pulmonary embolectomy and excision of the left atrial mass, was performed. Histopathology confirmed that the mass was a left atrial myxoma. The postoperative course was uneventful.
