RESUMO
Left ventricular masses are rare entities that often require surgical excision when diagnosed due to the risk of embolization. We report 2 separate patients presenting with evidence of cerebral embolization both of whom were diagnosed with isolated left ventricular masses and underwent surgical excision through a robot-assisted approach. Microscopic pathology revealed a myxoma and hemangioma, respectively. Both cases demonstrate that left ventricular masses can be feasibly excised through a robot-assisted minithoracotomy approach.
