Zusammenfassung:	Digital subtraction intravenous angiography (DSIVA) represents an important technical advance in angiographic diagnosis. Herein we present three patients with left atrial myxoma assessed by DSIVA. We review the role of DSIVA in evaluation of patients with suspected cardiac tumors and the importance of careful atrial‐phase scrutiny in examinations obtained for other purposes (ie, pulmonary angiography and assessment of ventricular function).
