title: [Papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve in a 67-year-old patient after myocardial infarction].
abstract: We present a case of a 67-year-old female patient with diagnosed papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) of the aortic valve. Eight months before the tumour discovery a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction without essential coronary artery restriction was diagnosed. The tumour was excised (during the aortotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass at systemic hypothermia) without any aortic valve injury. The main symptoms of PFE along with diagnostic techniques and treatment were described.
