Epimyocardium

Epimyocardiectomy is a surgical intervention on the heart muscle, which is performed in cases of the initiation and spread of a malignant tumor on myocardial tissue. Relapse of the pathology is observed quite often. The effectiveness of the procedure depends on the form of myocardial cancer, the individual characteristics of the patient, the condition of his heart muscle and age. Epimyocardiectomy prolongs the life of patients with a tumor in the heart, however, in the initial stages of the oncological process, it cannot be considered as the only treatment option
