During transesophageal echocardiography, a massively vascularized left atrial tumor was found in an 82-year-old woman with transient ischemic attacks. Coronary angiography showed several feeding vessels from the left circumflex artery and right coronary artery, which resulted in marked contrast enhancement of the left atrial tumor. Histological examination after tumor excision confirmed the suspicion of neovascularized myxoma.
