Cardiac paragangliomas are an extremely rare subset of chromaffin cell tumors that develop from neural crest cells.
Between March 2004 and October 2010, 7 male patients from our two institutions who underwent surgical resection of cardiac paraganglioma were retrospectively reviewed.
In 5 patients, paragangliomas originated from the roof of the left atrium, and in 2 patients, they originated from the aortic root. Hospital mortality was 14%.
Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of therapy and can be curative, but carries a significant risk of intraoperative bleeding and usually requires cardiopulmonary bypass and often complex resection techniques, including cardiac autotransplantation.
心脏副神经节瘤是一种非常罕见的嗜铬细胞瘤,来源于神经嵴细胞。
在 2004 年 3 月至 2010 年 10 月期间,我们两家机构共对 7 名接受心脏副神经节瘤切除术的男性患者进行了回顾性分析。
在 5 例患者中,副神经节瘤起源于左心房顶部,在 2 例患者中,起源于主动脉根部。医院死亡率为 14%。
完全手术切除仍然是主要的治疗方法,并且可以治愈,但手术中出血风险很大,通常需要体外循环,并且通常需要复杂的切除技术,包括心脏自体移植。
