## Abstract

Presentamos el caso de una mujer joven en el primer trimestre de un embarazo viable, complicado con infarto miocardio ST no elevado y mixoma atrial izquierdo. A pesar del riesgo que representa una cirugía cardiaca en una gestante, se decidió la exéresis del tumor cardíaco debido al alto riesgo embólico del caso. La cirugía se realizó sin complicaciones y controles posteriores mostraron viabilidad fetal hasta la fecha del parto.
