Tóm tắt

Six cases of primary cardiac tumour have been operated upon in a 7 year period from 1 june 1979 until 1 june 1986. All patients were under 6 months of age at the time of operation and two of the patients were in their first week of life. The principal indication for surgery was obstruction mainly at the right or left ventricular outflow tract level. More recently echo evaluation alone has been adequate to define the problem prior to surgery. Surgical excision has been performed without mortality or significant complications. In most cases resection has been complete, although in one case residual tumour has been left because of attachment of the tumour to vital structures. Follow‐up of this case has not resulted in further surgery being required because of regrowth of the tumour. In one case, with co‐existent congenital heart disease, the tumour was brought to notice after palliative systemic to pulmonary artery shunt had been performed. From the cardiac view point gratifying results have been obtained both in the short and long term following surgical resection. However, for patients with rhabdomyoma, later development of symptomatic tuberosclerosis should be anticipated in 50% of cases.
