Left atrial sarcomas are among the rarest primary cardiac tumors. This type of tumor has an aggressive behavior and is often resistant to standard approaches to treatment. In this case report we show its rapid growth in vivo and document successful local control with an aggressive surgical approach of ex-vivo resection, reconstruction of the left atrium by a pericardial patch, and subsequent autotransplantation.
左房肉瘤是最罕见的原发性心脏肿瘤之一。这类肿瘤具有侵袭性,往往对标准治疗方法耐药。在本病例报告中,我们展示了其在体内的快速生长,并记录了通过体外切除、心包补片重建左心房及随后自体移植的积极手术方法成功实现局部控制的情况。
