What are the clinical presentations and long-term outcomes following surgical resection of cardiac myxoma?
Surgical resection of cardiac myxomas provides an excellent prognosis with low rates of in-hospital mortality (0.7%) and long-term recurrence (3.3%).
Karabinis et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Cardiac myxoma (n=153). Surgical resection was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Surgical resection of cardiac myxomas was associated with an excellent prognosis, with an in-hospital mortality of 0.7% and a recurrence rate of 3.3% over a median follow-up of 3.7 years.
