Video-assisted removal of a ventricular mass through the mitral valve.
We report the case of 31-year-old man who was admitted for cerebellar ischemia. The echocardiography showed an intraventricular mass, mobile with the cardiac activity compatible with a thrombus or a myxoma. He successfully underwent a video-assisted removal of the mass, through the mitral valve.
