From 1964 to 1989, we performed operations on 133 patients with cardiac tumors. There were 58 male and 75 female patients ranging in age from three days to 81 years; 101 were adults, and 32 were children (less than 12 years of age). Primary tumors (102 benign and 12 malignant) were found in 114 patients and metastatic tumors in 19. Symptoms included congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, emboli, and chest pain. Diagnosis was accomplished through angiography echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Operative treatment encompassed techniques ranging from biopsy to complete excision (including hypothermic circulatory arrest and cardiac autotransplantation) depending on the site of disease and the extent of involvement. Overall operative survival was 91%. Twelve patients died early (within 30 days of operation), and follow-up was obtained for 110 (90.9%) of the remaining 121 survivors (total patient-years of follow-up, 572.8; mean follow-up. 5.2 years). Of the 20 patients who died late, 15 had malignant disease. Operative survival for patients with primary cardiac malignancies and for those with metastatic disease was 83% and 68.4%, respectively, with 3 and 5 patients, respectively, still living. We advocate an aggressive surgical approach, especially in patients with benign rumors, who can expect an excellent outcome. For patients with malignant or metastatic disease, palliation and cure are also possible if aggressive surgical actions are taken.
