A papillary fibroelastoma at the apex of the left ventricle is benign and rare. Over the last two decades, minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been developed to be used under either direct vision via a small skin incision or endoscopic vision with or without robotic assistance via a very small skin incision. We report a case of three-dimensional thoracoscopic resection. A 68-year-old female with hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation had a growing mass in the left ventricular. An echocardiogram demonstrated a smooth and mobile mass with a diameter of 15 mm at the apex of the left ventricle. An enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cardiac tumor. Since she had suffered from diffuse mild cerebral infarctions, we performed three-dimensional thoracoscopic resection of the tumor which revealed to be left ventricular papillary fibroelastoma on histological examination. Her postoperative course went well without any complications. Using only three-dimensional thoracoscopy, we performed the cardiac surgery easily and shortened the operative time, including the preparation time, resulting in a satisfactory cosmetic result. |
