Popis: We report the case for a 44-year-old patient without medical history, admitted in our department for bilateral acute limb ischemia (H6). The patient was hemodynamically stable and the physical examination shows limb sever ischemia (no femoral arterial pulses, coldness, cyanosis and paralysis). Abdominal CT angiography showed a complete occlusion of the infra renal abdominal aorta compatible with embolus. An embolectomy with Fogarty catheters was performed. Echocardiography showed a mass in the left atrium. Pathological examination of the material embolic confirmed the diagnosis of the cardiac myxoma. The clinical course was marked by the development of a sever syndrome of revascularization, death occurred the third day of hospitalization. Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumor. The mobility of the tumor and its gelatinous and crumbly consistency generates peripheral emboli.
