심장 점액종의 임상적 고찰
Clinical Experience of Cardiac Myxoma
초록
From 1981 to 1990, we performed operation on 6 patients with cardiac myxomas, which were located in the left atrium in 5, in the biatrium in 1. There were 3 male and 3 female patients ranging in age from 13 years to 69 years. Symptoms included exertional dyspnea, palpitation and signs of systemic illness. Diagnosis was accomplished by angiography[3 patients] and echocardiography [3 patients]. In all cases, myxomas were excised successfully through incision of interatrial septum There were no operative deaths or intraoperative embolic episode. Follow-up has been 40.0\ulcorner40.6 months[ranging from 1 month to 9 years], results of each patient were excellent We suggested that excision of intracardiac myxomas is curative and follow-up results are excellent. The transseptal approach provides adequate exposure and allows complete removal of the tumor regardless of its location.
