Baris Caynak et al. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2008 Aug.

Abstract

We present the surgical resection and repair, using port-access, in a case of extensive lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (IAS). There was tumourous lipomatous hypertrophy on the superior vena cava (SVC) - atrial junction close to the aortic root beside massive IAS hypertrophy. Resection of involved IAS and SVC was performed using bovine pericardium for the repair.
