Abstract
Introduction. Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and the autopsy detection rate does not exceed 0.003%. Approximately 80% of primary heart tumors are benign, 50% of them are myxomas. Diagnosis of cardiac tumors at present in the presence of transesophageal echocardiography is not difficult in most cases. Surgical treatment of mixomas became possible after the introduction of open-heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass into clinical practice. After verification of the tumor, its surgical removal is indicated. In the practice of large cardiac surgery clinics, the experience of radical treatment of heart neoplasms is relatively small; therefore, the analysis of tactical approaches and results of operations in this pathology is of absolute interest.
Aim of study. To present an analysis of 10 years’ experience in surgical treatment of cardiac mixomas. Material and methods The results of treatment of 58 patients with myxomas who underwent surgical removal of the neoplasm of the heart are presented.
Results. Hospital mortality after surgical removal of myxoma was 1.7%, 1 patient died. All patients, we have the long-term period data about, noted a significant improvement in well-being, a decrease or disappearance of dyspnea at rest and/or during exertion, and no recurrence of myxoma was noted. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate, on the whole, good immediate results and high quality of life of patients in the long-term period operated on for heart mixomas.
