Abstract

We report 3 cases of papillary fibroelastoma of the tricuspid valve. Two of them manifested with atypical symptoms of chest pressure and chest pain. Robot-assisted resection was performed to remove the mass while preserving the native valve. All patients recovered well. The 2 symptomatic patients experienced complete symptom resolution. We demonstrate the safety and feasibility of robotic resection in treating tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma.
