Cardiac tumour surgery
The heart can be the site of tumours (most often benign) or cysts. Their surgical removal protects the heart's proper functioning.
What is it?
A cardiac tumour is a mass that develops in or on the heart; a hydatid cyst is a parasitic condition. Surgery consists of removing the lesion.
Who is it for?
It is intended for patients in whom imaging has revealed a cardiac tumour or cyst, when removal is indicated.
How your care works
Removal is performed surgically, often with cardiopulmonary bypass, preserving the heart's structures as much as possible.
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery and follow-up are tailored to the nature of the removed lesion and to the analysis performed after the procedure.
When to consult?
Breathlessness, fainting, unexplained palpitations, or a mass found on cardiac ultrasound: a specialist opinion helps decide the next steps.
The procedures
Choose a procedure for a clear, step-by-step explanation.
