Embolic potential of cardiac tumors and outcome after resection: a case-control study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Embolic events have long been thought to occur in patients with cardiac tumors secondary to embolization of tumor fragments; however, there are no large studies examining the epidemiology and occurrence of embolism in this group of patients. METHODS From 1957 to 2006, 323 consecutive patients with primary cardiac tumors were treated surgically at our institution. Of the...

متن کاملCardiac tumors and gastroendoscopy: endoscopic resection of left ventricular tumors.
Endoscopic techniques have expanded in recent years and now have the potential to be useful not only in digestive diseases but also in diseases usually seen by other departments. Cardiac tumors require surgical resection to prevent tumormediated embolism [1]; however, a left ventriculotomy significantly decreases the ejection fraction [2]. We previously reported two cases of cardiac surgery usi...
متن کاملOutcome of resection of infratemporal fossa tumors.
BACKGROUND A variety of tumors arise in or extend to the infratemporal fossa. We investigated the outcome of surgical management of these tumors. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of a craniofacial approach to resection of infratemporal fossa tumors from 1992 to 2008 in a cancer center. RESULTS Forty-three patients underwent resection of a infratemporal fossa tumors (68% men). Med...
