abstract=" Background:   Cardiac myxoma is generally considered to be a surgical emergency. Cardiac myxomas were resected in 29 patients.   Material and methods:   Patient data and data obtained during follow-up from the 10-year period 1999-2008 of the survivors were reviewed. The tumour was always removed within 24 hours of admission.   Results:   Early survival was 100%. Long-term results were collected from a group of 27 patients and all of them were symptom-free. Most cases of cardiac myxoma observed over the last decade correspond to stable forms.   Conclusions:   Myxoma is usually observed in the older and higher risk population, often at an early stage. Surgical excision of atrial myxoma gives excellent short-term and long-term results leading to an eventual cure of non-familial myxomas. However, familial myxomas retain a strong tendency to recur even 20 years after excision.",
