Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cardiac fibromas in infants and children may present as intramural or intracavitary masses. Total or partial resection as well as transplantation have been reported as treatment for symptomatic patients. We report an infant, diagnosed prenatally, who underwent partial excision of a massive obstructive right ventricular fibroma and creation of a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. The palliative approach has allowed the child to be followed up with the option of transplantation should the tumor continue to increase in size. |
