Coronary steal is a rare phenomenon of unbalanced blood flow that is seen primarily in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting and have subclavian artery stenosis.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>We report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with fatigue, weakness, and exertional chest heaviness and had abnormal results on a cardiac stress test. The results of coronary angiography showed no obstructive coronary artery disease but revealed a large intracardiac left atrial mass that was supplied by 2 anomalous coronary arteries. The patient underwent successful ligation of the anomalous coronary arteries and resection of the mass, which was histologically an atrial myxoma. The patient's symptoms resolved, and results of a repeat cardiac stress test were normal.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>To our knowledge, this is the first report of a highly vascularized atrial myxoma that caused coronary steal with objective evidence of ischemia, and with subsequent resolution after resection of the mass and ligation of the anomalous coronary arteries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14503\/thij-14-4220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,11]],"date-time":"2015-06-11T17:14:07Z","timestamp":1434042847000},"page":"270-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Left Atrial Myxoma Causing Coronary Steal: An Atypical Cause of Angina"],"prefix":"10.14503","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Stiver","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Bittenbender","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bryan A.","family":"Whitson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles A.","family":"Bush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5628","reference":[{"issue":"24","key":"i0730-2347-42-3-270-b1","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"1610","article-title":"Cardiac myxomas","volume":"333","year":"1995","unstructured":"Reynen\n              K.\n            \n          \n          Cardiac myxomas.
