ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction From Carney Complex Familial Myxoma Embolization
In young patients with CNC, STEMI is often embolic from cardiac myxomas; acute treatment typically involves percutaneous coronary intervention with thrombectomy rather than stent placement. Definitive treatment involves surgical excision of the myxoma using a multidisciplinary approach, although recurrence rates are high in CNC.
