Systemic emboli occur in approximately one-third of patients with cardiac myxoma. Embolization is common because of the friability of the tumor and intracardiac location. Embolic episodes in young patients with normal sinus rhythm should arouse suspicions of cardiac myxoma in the absence of active endocarditis. We present one case of 17 years old girl having saddle embolism combined with left atrial myxoma. We planned staged operation. First, the emergency thromboembolectomy of aortic bifurcation was performed through bilateral transfemoral approach with use of Forgaty catheter. One week later, the extirpation of myxoma was successfully done with ECC.
