59-year-old woman with negative previous history was referred to cath-lab with anterior acute myocardial infarction 4 hours old. X-sizer catheter was used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to remove suspected thrombus from LAD. Primary success was not achieved. Large left atrial myxoma was diagnosed on echocardiography performed consequently (TTE). The patient was transferred to the cardiosurgery unit and operated (tumour excision, aortocoronary bypass, mitral and tricuspid valvuloplasty). She has remained stable during follow-up.

Keywords: Key words: acute myocardial infarction, left atrial myxoma, X-sizer catheter.
