Successful surgical resection plus surgical cryoablation for the treatment of a large left ventricular fibroma
Residual tumor mass after large cardiac fibroma resection carries long‐term risk, but cryoablation is useful during surgery to remove such tissue. Here, we present a case of a large cardiac fibroma of the posterior wall of the left ventricle, discovered during long‐term, episodic ventricular tachyca...

Zusammenfassung: | Residual tumor mass after large cardiac fibroma resection carries long‐term risk, but cryoablation is useful during surgery to remove such tissue. Here, we present a case of a large cardiac fibroma of the posterior wall of the left ventricle, discovered during long‐term, episodic ventricular tachycardia. Resection with cryoablation completely removed the tumor, eliminating postoperative, distant ventricular arrhythmias. |
