  • Title: Double papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve.
    Author: Davoli G, Bizzarri F, Enrico T, Carone E, Muzzi L, Frati G, Chiavarelli M.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2004; 31(4):448-9. PubMed ID: 15745304.
    Abstract:
    A case of asymptomatic aortic valve fibroelastoma was diagnosed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography in a 77-year-old man. A 2nd tumor was found at surgery. Both fibroelastomas were removed surgically without aortic valve replacement. During surgical excision of a cardiac fibroelastoma, the entire area surrounding the lesion should be inspected carefully for additional lesions. Such lesions can be missed on echocardiographic evaluation.
