Why the study?
Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for cardiac sarcoma, but achieving complete removal of a large left ventricular sarcoma remains challenging despite various surgical approaches.
Population
A 74-year-old woman with a large primary left ventricular sarcoma causing sub-aortic valve obstruction
Comparison
