Minimally Invasive En Bloc Resection of Massive Obstructive Atrial Tumour

Claudia L Cote et al. Can J Cardiol. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques offer better cosmesis, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stay when compared with sternotomy. Large cardiac tumours have been traditionally resected via sternotomy to provide adequate surgical exposure, complete surgical resection, and prevent tumour fragmentation. We describe a patient with advanced multiple sclerosis and wheelchair dependence with a massive obstructive left atrial tumour who underwent successful minimally invasive en bloc resection with an uncomplicated postoperative course.
