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.
1974年至1989年期间，印第安纳波利斯圣文森特医院和医疗中心的印第安纳心脏研究所对14例心脏黏液瘤患者进行了手术切除。其中13例位于左心房，1例位于右心房。10名女性和4名男性年龄在28岁至75岁之间。手术并发症包括1例围手术期死亡、1例晚期死亡和1例需要再次手术的晚期复发。医生必须高度怀疑才能正确诊断这种不常见但可通过手术治愈的疾病。二维超声心动图是心脏黏液瘤早期诊断和切除后晚期随访的首选诊断技术。
