Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical features in patients with primary cardiac tumors and surgical treatment of primary cardiac tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis of primary cardiac tumors patients from June 2002 to September 2012 was performed.79 patients were confirmed using cardiac echocardiography.Primary cardiac tumors were excised using general anesthesia during cardiopulmonary bypass.Results Only 5 patients relapsed after the follow-up for 6 months to 5 years.No tumor recurrence and distant metastases were found in the other patients.Conclusion Left atrial myxoma should be removed by surgical resection as soon as possible once there is a clear diagnosis.The surgical effect of left atrial myxoma is good but it may relapse.The malignant cardiac tumors progress rapidly and should be removed by early surgery combined with comprehensive treatment to improve the prognosis.
