Surgery may be an option in specific cases of malignant tumors.
- Patients with solitary heart illness and a managed primary tumor are optimal.
- The tumor must be amenable to resection while maintaining adequate heart function to support life.

Whether malignant or benign, clinical signs determine the criteria for emergency surgery.
- Cardiac tumors can generate a wide range of symptoms, including the four indications for surgery:
- Restriction of intracardiac blood circulation or interference with valve function
- Rhythm abnormalities or pericardial effusions with tamponade owing to local penetration
- Embolization, resulting in systemic or pulmonary impairments
- Systemic or constitutional symptoms resulting from the tumors
Papillary Fibroelastoma
- Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for papillary fibroelastoma.
- Surgical excision is generally recommended among patients with papillary fibroelastoma (for symptomatic relief).
- A minimally invasive approach may be possible if the tumor involves the aortic valveor right atrium.[1]
- In the case of aortic valve involvement, excision of the tumor is often valve-sparing, meaning that replacement of the valve with a prosthetic valve is not necessary. Repair of the native valve with a pericardial patch has been described.[2]
