Eleven patients underwent surgical excision of atrial myxomas during a
15-year period, with no hospital deaths. The operation consisted of
excision of the tumor with a generous portion of atrial septum or wall.
Patch reconstruction of the atrial septum was required in most patients.
There were 2 late deaths (14 and 121 months after operation). Late
recurrences have been reported in other series but no recurrences were
diagnosed in any of the patients in this series reexamined by
echocardiography 7 to 156 months (mean, 48 months) after operation. Late
functional results were excellent (78%, New York Heart Association Class D.
The pertinent literature is reviewed.
