title: Video-assisted transaortic resection of left ventricular sarcoma using the ultrasonic surgical aspirator.
abstract: We present a case of recurrent metastatic synovial sarcoma of the left ventricle. The first resection of the tumor was performed through a left ventriculotomy. This time, the tumor was resected through the aortic valve with a video-assisted technique. The ultrasonic surgical aspirator was useful to remove the tumor near the papillary muscle and the chordae.
