Surgical Management of Cardiac Myxoma A 6 Years’ Experience | How to Detect Cardiac Tumors

Surgical Management of Cardiac Myxoma: A 6 Years’ Experience Layman Abstract : What is an Atrial Myxoma? An atrial Cardiac Myxoma is a rare, non-cancerous tumor that develops in the heart, specifically in the upper chambers (atria). These tumors are important to treat because they can cause serious health issues like strokes, fainting, chest pain, fever, or unexplained weight loss. The good news is that complete (Surgical Management) surgical removal of these Cardiac Tumors usually leads to a full recovery. What Was the Study About? The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of heart surgery to completely remove atrial myxomas in patients with different symptoms and tumor characteristics. Who Was Involved? 22 patients participated (14 women, 8 men), with an average age of 42 years. 18 patients had tumors in the left atrium, while 4 had them in the right atrium. Common symptoms included fatigue, shortness of breath, and fever. Some patients had abnormal heart sounds, irregular heart rhythms, or heart valve problems. How Was the Diagnosis Made? Doctors used echocardiography (a heart ultrasound) to detect the tumors in most patients. A few needed a more detailed scan (transesophageal echocardiography). Some patients also had tests to check for heart artery disease before surgery. How Was the Surgery Performed? All 22 patients underwent open-heart surgery through the chest (median sternotomy) to remove the tumor. In two cases, the mitral valve also needed repair. The surgery lasted between 75 to 115 minutes, with the heart temporarily stopped for 45 to 60 minutes. Patients spent about one day in intensive care and 10 days in the hospital. What Were the Results? All tumors were non-cancerous. There were no deaths or major complications like strokes. Only two patients had mild wound infections. Over an average follow-up period of 5.6 years, there were no cases of tumor regrowth, irregular heartbeats, or heart wall defects. Conclusion: Surgical removal of atrial myxomas is highly successful, with no recurrences or major complications when performed carefully. Open-heart surgery remains the most common approach, but minimally invasive techniques are becoming more popular in advanced medical centers. ---------- View Book: https://doi.org/10.9734/bpi/msti/v10/... #Atrialmyxoma #echocardiographyforcardiacneoplasms #extirpationofmyxomasviastandardsternotomy #recentapproachestodealwithatrialmyxomas #AtrialMyxoma #HeartSurgery #CardiacHealth #MyxomaTreatment #OpenHeartSurgery #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #HeartTumor #MedicalBreakthrough #CardiovascularHealth #Echocardiography #HeartDisease #SurgicalExcision #CardiothoracicSurgery #MyxomaRemoval #heartcare #CardiacMyxoma #CardiacTumors Related keyword: Surgical Management Cardiac Tumors Cardiac Myxoma Atrial myxoma Heart tumor removal Cardiac tumor surgery Open-heart surgery Myxoma symptoms Atrial myxoma diagnosis Myxoma excision Cardiac health How to diagnose atrial myxoma How to treat heart tumors How to perform myxoma surgery How to recover from heart surgery How to detect cardiac tumors How to Diagnose & Treat Atrial Myxoma: Symptoms, Surgery & Recovery How to Remove Atrial Myxoma Safely: Surgical Excision & Long-Term Outcomes How to Detect Atrial Myxoma: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Explained How to Perform Atrial Myxoma Surgery: Open Heart vs. Minimally Invasive Approach How to Recover After Atrial Myxoma Surgery: Success Rates & Follow-Up Care
