Giant cardiac tumor resection combined with left ventricular reconstruction

Year: 2025

Type: article

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.
