Abstract
This systematic review sought to investigate the current evidence regarding surgical management of primary cardiac tumors in children. Twenty-four studies were deemed eligible, reporting on 713 pediatric patients. Cumulative 30-day mortality rate was 5.5% and 7.5% after surgery. It was revealed a statistically lower mortality rate in the group of patients below 1 year of age, justifying a more aggressive surgical approach for primary cardiac tumors, except for rhabdomyoma that can regress spontaneously.
