Population

39 patients (mean age 47.5 years, 61.5% female) undergoing surgical resection for primary cardiac myxomas, followed for a mean of 6.05 years.

Intervention

Surgical resection of cardiac myxomas (median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, radical excision with attachment base).

Outcome

In-hospital mortality and long-term cumulative survival analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.hard clinical

Surgical resection of cardiac myxomas is safe and effective, demonstrating zero in-hospital mortality and excellent long-term survival without recurrence.

Limitations

Retrospective design
Single-center study
Small sample size
12.8% of patients lost to long-term follow-up
