New method for resecting the tumor with pedicle in the depth of the left ventricular cavity

摘要

Background Resecting deep tumor in the left ventricle is usually more difficult formerly because of its nature, that is, hard to be clearly exposed. The traditional surgery for deep masses in the left ventricle was usually performed as ventriculotomy, which could lead to postoperative complications, such as cardiac insufficiency, bleeding, and cardiac rupture. So it is worthy to investigate the surgical procedure that could avoid making the incision in left ventricle. Methods Two pedicle tumors on or near the apex in the left ventricular cavity were extirpated completely by looping, electrocoagulation and looping remover using electronic gastrofibroendoscope. Conclusion The advantages of the new method were discussed. Utilizing electronic gastrofibroendoscope to extirpate the pedicle tumor from the depth of the left ventricle cavity is feasible and effective, rapid and safe and its use could avoid surgical procedure for left ventriculotomy and its possible complications and reduce aortic clamping time remarkably.
