Autotransplant and Advanced Techniques for Extensive Cardiac Sarcomas

摘要

? 2021 Elsevier Inc.Left heart sarcomas and very complex left heart tumors may require cardiac explantation, ex vivo resection, and reconstruction and reimplantation of the heart - cardiac autotransplantation. Combined extensive cardiac resection and pneumonectomy may require a 2-step approach - the Texas Two Step. Finally, extensive ventricular tumors may require complete cardiac replacement. Our techniques for these difficult cases are discussed in this manuscript.
