Heart Fibroma Treatment Methods in Israel
Since heart tumours lead to blood flow problems and severe symptoms, surgery to remove the tumour is usually the method of choice. However, the need for surgical intervention depends on the size of the tumour, the presence of certain symptoms, and the overall health status of the patient.
Types of Surgery
Removal requires open-heart surgery or robot-assisted surgery. In many cases, surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques. During the surgical intervention, the doctor removes the tumour and the surrounding tissue to reduce the risk of tumour recurrence. Recovery after traditional surgery usually takes 4 to 5 days in the clinic, while the overall recovery time is approximately 6 weeks. If the tumour is removed using robotic or minimally invasive approaches, the hospital stay is reduced by half, and the full recovery period will be two to three weeks.
After surgery, annual follow-up with a doctor is recommended, including an echocardiogram, to ensure that the tumour has not returned and there are no new formations.
Other Methods
Primary tumours can be treated with radiation or chemotherapy if they cannot be surgically removed. Sometimes medications can be administered into the pericardial area of the heart to slow tumour growth.
Diagnosis – Accuracy and Timeliness
Comprehensive diagnostics at Top Ichilov Clinic is conducted within three to four days. The examination and its timeline are planned in advance, even before the patient's visit to the clinic. Upon arrival in Israel, the patient does not have to spend time waiting; they go directly to the doctor's appointment.
Consultation
The attending physician studies the patient's symptoms and conducts a physical examination. A small percentage of patients with heart tumours have a family history of this disease. Sometimes tumours may be of another disease, such as Carney syndrome. But most often, the tumour develops without any specific reason and without a family history. After reviewing all medical documents available to the patient and conducting a detailed interview, the doctor formulates a plan for instrumental and laboratory diagnostics.
Studies
Comprehensive clinical and multimodal imaging of heart tumours is fundamental for obtaining the correct differential diagnosis.
The diagnosis is confirmed through the following types of studies:
- Blood tests
- Chest X-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Radionuclide tomography.
Consultation Board
Treatment of heart fibroma at Ichilov Clinic is prescribed after a final medical meeting – a consultation board. A group of doctors involved in the treatment reviews the research results, discusses possible treatment and rehabilitation options for the patient, and determines the prognosis. The patient or their representative can attend this discussion and ask any questions they may have.
Remote consultations with an Israeli cardiologist
