📋 Tender Overview
Cardiac surgeons from the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery of the Russian Ministry of Health in Krasnoyarsk successfully removed a neoplasm measuring 8 by 5 centimeters, which occupied almost the entire left atrium.Doctors note that in 2026, there will be more patients with heart tumors.
The operation on a 57-year-old man went without complications; histology results revealed that it was a myxoma, a benign formation.Cardiac function was restored and the patient was discharged home.
Neoplasms in the heart area are a rare pathology compared to other diseases of the cardiovascular system.But the problem is that a heart tumor may not manifest itself clinically for quite a long time; a person can live for several years without knowing that a terrible disease is developing and can manifest itself at any time with a fatal outcome.
Our own experience of the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery of the Russian Ministry of Health in Krasnoyarsk allows us to analyze the statistics of patients with heart tumors.Thus, over 16 years of work at the Cardiocenter, 125 patients with cardiac tumors of various locations were operated on.The oldest patient who underwent surgical removal of a heart tumor was 81 years old.Of the total number of patients, 72% of cases are women.
All patients underwent radical treatment in the form of removal of the tumor and subsequent cryodestruction of tissue at the site of tumor attachment to reduce the risk of relapse.It is worth noting that for 16 years, there has not been a single case of recurrence of a heart tumor
