Overview

Single-center case series adds regional data on cardiac tumor resection; leaves open need for prospective multicenter validation before broader adoption.

Structured PICO

Population

20 patients who underwent surgical excision of primary intracardiac myxoma, mean age 43.4 years, 85% female, at Chittagong Medical College and Hospital, Bangladesh.

Intervention

Surgical excision via median sternotomy

Outcome

Perioperative death and recurrencehard clinical
