Implication

Supports low mortality with myxoma excision; leaves open recurrence surveillance needs in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

80 patients with primary or recurrent intracardiac myxomas, mean age 46.3 years, 67.5% female, treated at a single center in Iraq.

Intervention

Surgical excision of cardiac myxoma via standard median sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass and mild hypothermia.

Outcome

Recurrence rate and mortality ratehard clinical

Surgical excision of cardiac myxomas via median sternotomy is associated with low mortality, though recurrence remains a risk, particularly in familial cases.
