Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Surgical resection of a cardiac myxoma was performed in 14 patients at the Indiana Heart Institute at St. Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center in Indianapolis from 1974 to 1989. Thirteen were located in the left atrium and one in the right atrium. The 10 women and four men ranged in ages from 28 to 75 years. Surgical complications included one perioperative death, one late death and one late recurrence requiring reoperation. Physicians must be highly suspicious to correctly diagnose this unusual but surgically correctable entity. Two-dimensional echocardiography is the diagnostic technique of choice for both early diagnosis of a cardiac myxoma and late follow-up after resection. |
