Primary cardiac tumors are rare and the majority are benign. Conventional surgical treatment uses median sternotomy, while minimally invasive surgery from right anterolateral minithoracotomy has become an alternative method in recent years.

Surgical resection of primary benign cardiac tumors is safe, effective and durable. The right anterolateral minithoracotomy provides the same postoperative recovery as standard median sternotomy, but less transfusion.
