OBJECTIVES: Confusion exists regarding surgical algorithms for treating @entity20866 . This report outlines the surgical management and outcomes of @entity1 with @entity20866 . METHODS: Sixteen cases of @entity20866 surgically treated in Anzhen Hospital from February 1995 to July 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. According to relative size and location of @entity2909 maximum diameter relative to diameter of inferior vena cava, the 16 cases were classified as type A, B, C, or D. RESULTS: Of the 16 cases in this series, there were 7 type A, 2 type B, 3 type C, and 4 type D. No @entity1 died during surgery. Mean follow-up was 90    57.1 months (cumulative, 120.2 @entity1 -years; range, 2-190 months). One @entity1 died of recurrence 5 months after the surgery because of incomplete resection. Another @entity1 with type D also died of recurrence 2 years after the primary procedure. A @entity1 with type D died suddenly 10 years after the primary procedure. The 5-year and 10-year survivals calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method were 87.1%    8.6% and 72.5%    15%. Of the 13 surviving @entity1 , 11 were in New York Heart Association functional class I and 2 were in functional class II. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical treatment of @entity20866 can result in satisfactory midterm to long-term survival and satisfactory heart function. Multiple surgical strategies should be tailored to the anatomic characteristics of the @entity2909 . Recurrence of @entity20866 after the resection procedure may result in unfavorable late result.
