Surgical resection of a giant left atrial capillary haemangioma invading the left-main coronary artery in a 49-year-old woman allowed for successful hospital discharge 4 days after surgery.
Surgical resection is a viable and successful treatment for rare giant left atrial capillary haemangiomas invading coronary structures.
Adds rare cardiac haemangioma case to literature; leaves open optimal management strategies pending larger series.
