Abstract EN
Primary cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor.
Tumor resection is the treatment of choice and overall long-term prognosis is good and recurrence is rare.
This report presents a case of a young girl who presented with multiple recurrent cardiac myxoma.
She underwent 3 sternotomy surgeries of 3 separated episodes of cardiac myxoma resection.
On the fourth recurrence, the patient underwent orthotopic heart transplant.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and is alive 6 months after the procedure with NYHA class I.
We reviewed evidences and summarized reported cases of orthotopic heart transplant operation for primary cardiac tumor in the literature.
