Surgical resection of cardiac myxomas was associated with high survival in this small series; leaves open recurrence risk and surveillance needs in larger cohorts.
Observational (n=11)
Surgical excision of cardiac myxomas provides good long-term survival, though recurrence can occur and requires follow-up.
Milgalter et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Cardiac myxomas (n=11). Surgery was evaluated on Survival and recurrence. Surgery for cardiac myxomas in 11 patients resulted in 10 patients surviving at a mean follow-up of 6 years, with tumor recurrence observed in 2 patients.
