Introduction: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) associated with a primary cardiac tumor is extremely rare. Complete resection of a tumor was reported to be effective in a treatment of this VT. However, the mechanism of the cardiac tumor-related VT (CT-VT) is still unknown, and the therapeutic strategy of the VT in patients with unresectable tumor is not determined. Methods and Results: Four patients (20 ± 15 years, 3 males) with CT-VT (fibroma in 2, lipoma in 1, and hemangioma in 1 patient) were investigated. All four patients developed repetitive forms of monomorphic VTs, which were reproducibly induced by programmed ventricular stimulation and terminated by burst pacing. These VTs exhibited a right bundle branch block QRS morphology (QRS duration, 160 ± 28 ms) with a pseudo-delta wave (75 ± 10 ms) at a cycle length of 330 ± 86 ms. Intraoperative electroanatomical mapping showed a radially spreading activation pattern originating from the epicardial border of the tumor, where fractionated and late potentials were detected during sinus rhythm. Histopathological studies of the sections from this border area revealed tumor infiltration to the surrounding myocardium and myocardial cell disorganization exhibiting myocardial disarray. In 2 patients in whom the cardiac tumor was completely resected, cryoablation was added to the resection line. In the remaining 2 patients in whom complete resection of the tumor was unfeasible, encircling cryoablation to entirely isolate the unresectable tumor was effective in suppressing their VTs. Conclusions: The mechanism of CT-VT is reentry localized at the epicardial border of the tumor. Myocardial disarray associated with infiltration of the cardiac tumor may be a substrate of this VT. Encircling cryoablation along the border of the tumor may be a therapeutic option for an unresectable CT-VT.

Primary cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Tumor resection is the treatment of choice and overall long-term prognosis is good and recurrence is rare. This report presents a case of a young girl who presented with multiple recurrent cardiac myxoma. She underwent 3 sternotomy surgeries of 3 separated episodes of cardiac myxoma resection. On the fourth recurrence, the patient underwent orthotopic heart transplant. The patient tolerated the procedure well and is alive 6 months after the procedure with NYHA class I. We reviewed evidences and summarized reported cases of orthotopic heart transplant operation for primary cardiac tumor in the literature.

Objective: Pediatric primary cardiac tumor is an extremely rare disease. The tumor can extend into the conduction system and cause malignant arrhythmias. We retrospectively reviewed 6 consecutive cases of children with primary cardiac tumor that manifested as rhythm disturbance. Methods: In our center, 6 children were enrolled from October 2009 to August 2016. Detailed operative data and follow-up information were comprehensively collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The patients were ages 1 to 16 years and weighed 7.9 to 44.5 kg. Preoperative ventricular tachycardia was present in 3 patients, frequent ventricular ectopic beats in 1 patient, supraventricular tachycardia in 1 patient, and atrial flutter in 1 patient. All 6 patients underwent a complete tumor resection. The tumors were localized in the left ventricular free wall (3 patients), left ventricular outflow tract (1 patient), left atrium (1 patient), and right atrium (1 patient). One patient received 2 radiofrequency ablation procedures before tumor resection. Postoperative sick sinus syndrome occurred in 1 patient because the tumor infiltrated the sinoatrial node. Tumors from 2 patients were pathologically diagnosed as fibroma and 4 as rhabdomyoma. Reoperation of mitral valve repair was performed in 1 patient 1 year after tumor resection. The mean (± SD) follow-up time was 63.7 ± 31.4 months, and all children were well, with Ross functional classification I and no signs of recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions: In conclusion, cardiac tumor is a rare but nonneglectable reason for arrhythmia, and surgical resection is the optimal procedure, with satisfactory results.
