with atrial obstruction and systemic emboli. Notice the sinus rhythm in left
atrial myxoma in contrast to atrial fibrillation, which may cause embolism
as well.

Acute embolism of
the external iliac artery extending in the superficial and profund femoral artery
at the right side as well as a branch of the profund femoral artery at the left
side caused by left atrial myxoma
