Implication

Supports symptom-driven surgery in pediatric cardiac tumors; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Population

Infants and children with primary cardiac tumors (n=5 cases described in the report, out of 15 observed since 1974 at a single hospital).

Intervention

Surgical intervention versus close observation.

In infants and children with primary cardiac tumors, surgery should be reserved for symptomatic patients to restore heart function, rather than routinely aiming for total resection.
