Abstract
Reports of large tumors of the left ventricle are rare. In this instance, we present a situation where a 57-year-old woman underwent surgical intervention for a sizable mass in her left ventricle. The mass was attached to the walls of the left ventricle and the apex of the left ventricle, almost filling the entire left ventricle. The individual had elective cardiac surgery. Fortunately, the patient survived, and this case may help in the treatment of cardiac sarcoma.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of research in the field of Cardiology, and Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. The journal publishes original scientific research documenting clinical and experimental advances in cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgery, and related fields.
Topics of interest include surgical techniques, survival rates, surgical complications and their outcomes; along with basic sciences, pediatric conditions, transplantations and clinical trials.
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery is of interest to cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, cardiothoracic anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, chest physicians, and allied health professionals.
