    Management of Complications Caused By a Massive Left Ventricle Tumor in a Neonate
    (Elsevier, 2018) Yabrodi, Mouhammad; Mastropietro, Christopher W.; Darragh, Robert K.; Parent, John J.; Ayres, Mark D.; Kean, Adam C.; Turrentine, Mark; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    We report a case of a neonate born with a giant fibroma occupying the entirety of her left ventricle. Due to the extensive resection, her postoperative course was complicated by severely diminished left ventricular function and complete heart block necessitating extracorporeal support. Ultimately, cardiac resynchronization therapy was employed, after which the infant’s ventricular function gradually improved and she was successfully discharged to home.
