In conclusion, we herein summarized surgical results with primary cardiac myxomas. Surgical excision of primary cardiac myxomas tends to show excellent results after surgical excision.

In this study, we showed that on-pump beating heart operations without cross-clamping is an acceptable surgical choice for mitral valve disease. Complication rates are low and perioperative mortality is lower than that generally reported with conventional technique.

Levosimendan exhibits an important protection by means of neurological outcome, histopathological, and biochemical analysis for the ischemia-reperfusion injury of the spinal cord following the aortic clamping.

On-pump beating heart aortic valve replacement with retrograde CS warm blood perfusion is a good surgical option, and has the advantage of maintaining physiologic condition of the heart throughout the procedure.

There is no difference regarding neurological monitoring results between on-pump beating heart and hypothermic arrested heart valve replacement surgery. Also no significant difference was encountered among the groups regarding the clinical outcomes.
