Résumé
Appearance of unexpected masses in the chambers of the heart during cardiac surgery can be intriguing. We report the case of a mass in the left ventricle that appeared at the time of separation from cardiopulmonary bypass in a child after a complex intracardiac repair. The child presented for surgery to a tertiary care hospital in Muscat, Oman, in 2022. Prior to the surgical repair the mass was not appreciated by echocardiography. An intraventricular baffle was used to divert left ventricular blood flow towards the outflow tract, after which an intraventricular "mass" was observed. Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography identified the mass as a portion of the interventricular septum that was located between the inlet and outlet ventricular septal defects.
