Mitral papillary fibroeslastoma resection through minimally invasive surgery in a patient with stroke. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.6, pp.403-405. ISSN 0120-5633.

We report the case of a patient who consulted with neurological symptoms and was diagnosed as embolic stroke, whose etiology was a mitral valve tumor (fibroeslastoma) histologically confirmed. The patient underwent surgery through minimally invasive technique through the chest, with excellent evolution, without infection or blood requirements; there were no valvular or neurological sequelae. An early return to working life was reported.
