About Tumor Resection Cardiac Rhabdomyoma

Tumor resection for cardiac rhabdomyoma is a specialized cardiac surgery performed to remove benign tumors that develop within the heart muscle, most commonly in infants and children. These tumors, often associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), can obstruct blood flow, cause arrhythmias, or lead to heart failure. The procedure involves open-heart surgery, where a cardiac surgeon carefully excises the tumor tissue while preserving healthy heart function. Modern techniques prioritize minimally invasive approaches when possible. This surgery is crucial for alleviating symptoms, preventing life-threatening complications, and improving long-term cardiac outcomes. Successful resection often leads to a significant improvement in quality of life and normal heart development.

Key Highlights

    Directly removes the source of cardiac obstruction and arrhythmias.Can be curative, especially for symptomatic or large tumors.Helps restore normal blood flow and heart function.Prevents progression to heart failure or sudden cardiac events.Often performed with advanced imaging and surgical planning for precision.May allow for normal cardiac development in pediatric patients./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Obstruction of blood flow through the heart valves or chambers (e.g., left ventricular outflow tract obstruction).
  • 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

  • Initial recovery in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) for close monitoring of heart function.
  • Pain management and respiratory support as needed.
  • Gradual mobilization and initiation of feeding.
  • Medications may include diuretics, heart rhythm drugs, and pain relievers.
  • Regular follow-up echocardiograms to assess heart function and check for recurrence.
  • Long-term cardiology follow-up, especially for patients with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
  • Physical activity may be restricted initially, with a gradual return to normal as advised by the cardiologist.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for initial recovery; 3-6 months for full recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. They said it was just stress. Dr. Babu Vinish actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my digestion. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle pieces.
