Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep. 2023 May 4;1(3):418-421. doi: 10.1016/j.atssr.2023.04.007. eCollection 2023 Sep.

Abstract

We report 3 cases of papillary fibroelastoma of the tricuspid valve. Two of them manifested with atypical symptoms of chest pressure and chest pain. Robot-assisted resection was performed to remove the mass while preserving the native valve. All patients recovered well. The 2 symptomatic patients experienced complete symptom resolution. We demonstrate the safety and feasibility of robotic resection in treating tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma.
