Why the study?
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare benign primary heart tumors that pose a risk of life-threatening embolization to the coronary vasculature.
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare but important cause of STEMI in patients without atherosclerotic disease, which can be effectively treated with surgical resection.
