Papillary fibroelastoma: insight to a primary cardiac valve tumor
Abstract
Papillary fibroelastomas are rare benign cardiac tumors. Although they have minimal hemodynamic effects, their propensity for embolization can result in serious morbidity. The pathophysiology and management of these tumors is the subject of this review.
