Transmitral resection of left ventricular lipoma by right mini-thoracotomy using a rolled up flexible ruler.
Yun Seok KimJin Young KimHyeong Chan ShinPublished in: Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery (2021)
Left ventricular lipoma is a rare intracardiac tumour that is usually resected through sternotomy to effectively explore the left ventricular cavity. We introduce a simple technique to expose the left ventricular cavity and resect the intraventricular lipoma using a rolled up flexible ruler through right mini-thoracotomy. Imaging studies and gross and microscopic photography of intraventricular lipoma are presented in this report.
