Key result
Surgical resection of primary benign cardiac tumours resulted in an in-hospital mortality of 3% for myxomas and 8% for non-myxomas, with 20-year survival of 68% and 100%, respectively.

What are the short- and long-term outcomes of surgical resection for primary benign cardiac tumours?
Absolute Event Rate: 3% vs 8%
Surgical resection of primary benign cardiac tumours yields good short- and long-term results, though long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for recurrence and associated extracardiac tumours in myxoma patients.
Pacini et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Primary benign cardiac tumours (n=107). Myxoma vs. Non-myxoma was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Surgical resection of primary benign cardiac tumours resulted in an in-hospital mortality of 3% for myxomas and 8% for non-myxomas, with 20-year survival of 68% and 100%, respectively.
