Abstract

Purpose. Simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting with a resection of left atrial myxoma has been rarely reported. The ages and the symptoms of patients who have left atrial myxomas and coronary artery disease are similar. In this report, we present our cases of left atrial myxoma with concomitant coronary artery disease who were all treated surgically.
