A 60 year old woman was referred because of bi-lateral femoral arterial embolism. On examination a diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is made on the left side. Surgical removal is indicated whenever a di-agnosis cardiac myxoma is made. Generally it is concidered an urgent procedure, particulary if the patient has a history of embolism since it has been noted that 8% to 10% patients die from embolic complications while waiting for operation.
