Key result
Complete thoracoscopic resection of a left ventricular myxoma was performed, detailing the surgical process and perioperative imaging and pathological features.
Why the study?
Left ventricular myxomas are rare and typically resected via traditional median thoracotomy, making complete video-assisted thoracoscopic resection with femoral cardiopulmonary bypass exceptionally uncommon.
