- Cardiac Tumors were first described by Realdo Colombo in 1559.[1]
- In 1936, Beck and Maurer were the first to resect right ventricular teratoma. They also resected a left ventricular lipoma in 1951.[2]
- Dr. William Norris was the first to describe a "melanotic heart" with secondary metastases to the heart in 1820.[3]
- In 1952, left atrial myxoma was successfully excised by Bahnson and Newman through a right atriotomy. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to the procedure after 24 days.[4]
Landmark events in the development of treatment strategies
- In 1954, Dr. Clarence Crafoord from Sweden reported the first successful removal of left atrial myxoma in a 40-year-old female presenting with dizziness and transient hemiparesis caused by myxoma.The patient survived for more than 40 years after her surgery.[1]
- Dr. Senning and his team developed perfusion system to ease cardiac surgeries. The Perfusion system comprised of hypothermia, flow, and ventricular fibrillation to prevent embolism.[1]
- In July 1954, they used it for the first time in the excision of left atrial myxoma, performed by Dr. Crafoord. This was a milestone surgery in developing Extracorporeal perfusion system.[1]
