Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Cardiac tumors are rare and require effective surgical management.
  • Traditional sternotomy for cardiac tumor resection can lead to significant morbidity and prolonged recovery.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly explored for cardiac procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of endoscopic cardiac tumor resection.
  • To report a 9-year experience with the port access approach for cardiac tumors.
  • To compare the endoscopic approach with conventional sternotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 27 patients undergoing endoscopic cardiac tumor resection from March 1997 to December 2005.
  • Utilized endocardiopulmonary bypass and endoaortic-balloon clamp techniques.

  • Included echocardiography for diagnosis and follow-up; some patients required additional valve procedures or PFO closure.

    • Main Results:

    • No hospital deaths or conversions to sternotomy occurred in 27 patients.
    • Mean cardiopulmonary bypass and clamp times were 112.2 and 68.8 minutes, respectively.
    • Common tumors included left atrial myxoma (n=20); complications were low, with 92% appreciating cosmetic results and rapid recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic cardiac tumor resection is a safe and effective oncologic approach.
    • The port access technique provides a viable alternative to sternotomy with cosmetic advantages.
    • This minimally invasive method facilitates faster patient recovery.
