Abstract
Between 1980 and July 1983 three infants and children with cardiac fibromas underwent surgical resection at Kobe Children's Hospital. Two of them survived and have an excellent clinical result 6 years and 7 years postoperatively. The results of late follow-up with the use of 24-hour dynamic electrocardiography, two-dimensional echocardiography, thallium-201 myocardial scintillation scan, and technetium 99m sodium pertechnetate-gated blood pool imaging have proved that the patients are free of arrhythmic episodes, free of recurrence of tumor, have no significant myocardial perfusion defect, and have normal left ventricular function.
