AbstractWe report what we believe is the 1st case in the medical literature in which an intravenous thrombolytic agent was used successfully--without massive intracranial bleeding--to treat acute stroke induced by atrial myxoma. Our patient, who had biatrial myxomas with a dual blood supply from the right coronary artery, presented with cerebral ischemia. Transesophageal echocardiography was essential in clarifying the diagnosis and in helping to direct surgical treatment.
