Case Report (n=1)
Surgical resection and right atrial reconstruction is an effective management strategy for large, symptomatic cardiac lipomas.
Wen et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Cardiac lipoma in the right atrium (n=1). Resection of the right atrial lipoma and reconstruction of right atrium using a bovine pericardial patch was evaluated on Postoperative recovery and symptom resolution. Resection of a large right atrial lipoma and reconstruction with a bovine pericardial patch resulted in complete postoperative recovery and resolution of symptoms at 66 days.
