Cardiac hemangiomas are a rare tumor traditionally resected by median sternotomy. We performed minimally invasive right ventricular cardiac hemangioma resection via left anterior mini-incision (LAMI). The procedure was without complication, and the patient discharged on postoperative day 2. LAMI has been used broadly our team for operations involving outflow tract, as an alternative to Here we show that it can also be of tumor.

Central MessageThis report highlights the technical details and operative footage of continuous-flow ventricular assist device placement in an HLHS neonate less than 24 hours old. This Some neonates with single ventricle heart disease are poor candidates for surgical palliation, such as those dysfunction, severe atrioventricular valve regurgitation, or unfavorable coronary anatomy. Recently, pulsatile-flow (VAD) has emerged a strategy to bridge these patients transplantation.1Philip J....
