RESUMO
We reported 3 years ago the use of cryoablation in the treatment of a right atrium myxoma arising from the Koch's triangle. The atrioventricular conduction was successfully preserved. Today, after 3 years follow-up, the patient remains with a conducted sinus rhythm and is free of recurrence. Even if extensive resection of the stack of the myxoma remains the first choice attitude, cryoablation could be considered as a serious second choice alternative.

We report a case of cerebral arteriovenous malformation in a 34 year-old male patient presenting with chest pain. Electrocardiographic findings showed ST elevations in the precordial leads. However, a coronary angiogram showed no coronary lesions. Laboratory tests suggested that troponin and cardiac enzymes were within normal limits. Further investigation led to the diagnosis of a cerebral arterio-venous malformation occupying the left temporal and parietal lobes. The chest pain may be explained by the occurrence of a complex partial seizure.
