title: Reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract after surgical removal of a cardiac hemangioma.
abstract: An asymptomatic 73-year-old man underwent resection of a cardiac tumor arising from the right ventricular outflow tract, and reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet. Histological examination revealed a cavernous-capillary type cardiac hemangioma, which is a very rare cardiac tumor.
