Implication

Supports durable outcomes after myxoma excision in this cohort; leaves open generalizability and optimal familial surveillance.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate surgical outcomes and recurrence rates of cardiac myxomas over a decade.
  • Single-center study reviewing 62 patients with cardiac myxomas from 2000 to 2009.
  • Patients underwent excision and were evaluated preoperatively with echocardiography and annually postoperatively.
  • Follow-up duration ranged from 13 months to 10 years for all survivors.
  • Actuarial survival rate was 96.8 ± 1.8% at 10 years.
  • Recurrence of myxomas occurred in two familial cases, with no recurrence in sporadic cases.
  • Freedom from reoperation was 98.4 ± 1.3% at five years and 96.8 ± 1.8% at ten years.

Surgical excision of cardiac myxomas provides excellent long-term survival and freedom from reoperation, though familial cases warrant echocardiographic surveillance due to recurrence risk.
