Core Tip
Core Tip: The incidence of ischemic stroke caused by cardiac mucinous tumors has been reported both nationally and internationally. Still, it is rarely reported that intravenous thrombolytic bridging artery retrieval with same-day open thoracotomy for left atrial mucinous tumors is performed in the early stage of stroke. We treated a case with cerebral embolic stroke associated with cardiac myxoma, the embolus was successfully removed, and the cardiac tumor was extirpated surgically on the day of presentation.
