  • Title: Video-assisted thoracic surgical resection of giant cardiac lipoma: a case report.
    Author: Sciuchetti JF, Corti F, Ballabio D, Formica F, Aiello A, Paolini G.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2008 Jan 24; 123(3):e57-8. PubMed ID: 17355895.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 73-year-old man, with a history of previous coronary artery by-pass, who presented at our division for new onset of angina, hypotension and dyspnea due to a primary giant para-cardiac lipoma. The success of complete resection of the mass achieved by means of video-assisted thoracic surgical procedure demonstrated the efficacy and safeness of this method in the treatment of benign cardiac tumours.
