Epicardial cysts are rarer benign tumors than pericardial cysts. There have been few reports on surgical management for epicardial cysts.
A 73-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion had a giant cyst (12 × 10 cm in diameter) on preoperative computed tomography. Compression of the left atrium and ventricle by the cyst was considered to be the cause of her symptoms. The cyst was diagnosed with an epicardial cyst intraoperatively. Although the cyst adhered to surrounding tissues, it was successfully resected with off-pump surgery by using a heart positioner and an ultrasonic scalpel.
Surgeons should consider off-pump surgery as an alternative to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and on-pump surgery for complicated epicardial cysts.
心外膜囊肿是比心包囊肿更罕见的良性肿瘤。关于心外膜囊肿手术治疗的报道较少。
一名73岁女性,活动时呼吸困难,术前计算机断层扫描显示有一个巨大囊肿(直径12×10厘米)。囊肿对左心房和心室的压迫被认为是其症状的原因。术中诊断该囊肿为心外膜囊肿。尽管囊肿与周围组织粘连,但通过使用心脏定位器和超声刀进行非体外循环手术成功将其切除。
对于复杂的心外膜囊肿,外科医生应考虑将非体外循环手术作为电视辅助胸腔镜手术和体外循环手术的替代方案。
