Treatment Methods for Heart Fibroma in Israel
Since heart tumors lead to blood flow problems and severe symptoms, surgery to remove the tumor is usually the method of choice. However, the need for surgical intervention depends on the size of the tumor, the presence of certain symptoms, and the overall health of the patient.
Types of Surgeries
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 tumor and the surrounding tissue to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. Recovery after traditional surgery usually takes 4 to 5 days in the clinic, while the total recovery time is approximately 6 weeks. If the tumor is removed using a robotic or minimally invasive approach, the hospital stay is reduced by half, and the full recovery time will be two to three weeks.
After surgery, annual follow-up with a doctor is recommended, including an echocardiogram, to ensure that the tumor has not returned and there are no new formations.
Other Methods
Primary tumors can be treated with radiation or chemotherapy if they cannot be surgically removed. Sometimes medications can be injected into the pericardial area of the heart to slow tumor growth.

Diagnosis – Accuracy and Timeliness
Comprehensive diagnostics at the Top Ichilov clinic is conducted within three to four days. The examination and its timing 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 tumors have a family history of this disease. Sometimes tumors may be of another disease, such as Carney syndrome. However, most often, the tumor 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.
Investigations
Comprehensive clinical and multimodal imaging of heart tumors is fundamental for obtaining the correct differential diagnosis.
The diagnosis is confirmed through the following types of investigations:
- Blood tests
- Chest X-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Radionuclide tomography.
Consultation Board
Treatment of heart fibroma at the Ichilov clinic is prescribed after a final medical meeting – a consultation board. A group of doctors participating in the treatment reviews the results of the investigations, 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
There are situations when a patient cannot undergo treatment in Israel but wants to receive a consultation from an Israeli cardiologist or be treated locally under their supervision. Currently, a special program for comprehensive remote consultation has been developed for such patients. By choosing this program, the patient can receive recommendations, adjustments, and expert advice while staying at home. To schedule a remote consultation, it is enough to request a callback or leave a corresponding message in the online chat window.
We take pride in serving a wide and diverse group of patients who often turn to us for answers they cannot find anywhere else. This top rating is a tribute to our outstanding and dedicated doctors and researchers.
