- Refractory cardiac arrhythmias (tachycardia, heart block) caused by the tumor.
- Heart failure symptoms (e.g., poor feeding, failure to thrive, shortness of breath) in an infant or child.
- Large tumor size with a high risk of future complications.
- Diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with symptomatic cardiac involvement.
- When medical management is insufficient to control symptoms.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive cardiac evaluation including echocardiogram, MRI, and possibly a cardiac catheterization.
- Genetic testing and neurological evaluation for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
- Pre-operative blood tests, chest X-ray, and ECG.
- Consultation with a multidisciplinary team including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and anesthesiologists.
- Fasting for a specified period before surgery as instructed.
- Discussion of the surgical plan, risks, and expected outcomes with the surgical team.
Risks & possible complications
- General risks of open-heart surgery, including bleeding, infection, and reaction to anesthesia.
- Damage to heart valves, conduction system, or coronary arteries during resection.
- Heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) requiring medication or a pacemaker.
- Heart failure due to residual myocardial dysfunction.
- Stroke or other thromboembolic events.
- Incomplete tumor resection or rare recurrence.
- Need for re-operation or additional procedures.
Recovery & hospital stay

Reyansh Reddy, a 6-month-old infant, was...
Reyansh Reddy, a 6-month-old infant, was born with a diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). His parents, first-time and anxious, noticed he was feeding poorly, seemed excessively sleepy, and occasionally had a rapid, fluttering heartbeat. An echocardiogram revealed a large cardiac rhabdomyoma obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract, explaining his symptoms of heart failure. The pediatric cardiologist and cardiac surgeon explained that while these tumors can regress, Reyansh's was life-threateningly large and required urgent surgical resection to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. The 5-hour open-heart surgery was terrifying for his parents, but the surgical team was meticulous, successfully removing the bulk of the tumor. In the Pediatric ICU, Reyansh was on a ventilator for two days but recovered strength remarkably. Within a week, his feeding improved, his color returned, and his heart rhythm stabilized. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster; his parents lived in constant fear before the surgery, haunted by the 'what-ifs.' Afterward, while vigilant about his TSC, they felt an overwhelming relief and profound gratitude, finally able to envision a future for their son, their fear replaced by cautious hope.
