Atrial myxomas are one of the commonest primary cardiac tumors that generally affect the left atrium. Atrial myxoma is the general cardiac tumor, which leads to three main symptoms which includes obtrusive symptoms, constitutional symptoms, and embolic symptoms. The irregular blood flow induced by atrial myxoma plays a significant role to cause rigorous and irrevocable neurologic complications like repeated transient ischemic attack and stroke. Severe STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) caused by left atrial myxoma is very uncommon. Catheter approaches are mostly the initial step in managing STEMI with very less time delay. In this case study, we report atrial myxoma associated MI case and present the clinical and echocardiographic features of this presentation. We report a case of severe STEMI caused by left atrial myxoma. The patient was effectively treated by intracoronary aspiration. Intracoronary catheter aspiration helps to treat the myocardial infarction with quite less time delay
