Demonstrates the feasibility of using video-assisted cardioscopy and VATS instruments for the resection of a left ventricular fibroma.
We present a case of a cardiac fibroma affecting the base of the anterior papillary muscle resected under cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) instruments through the mitral valve. The surgical approach and instrumentation of previous case reports are reviewed.
