1/218. Coil embolization of coronary supply to a cardiac metastasis.Coil embolization of tumor-related coronary arteries was successful in interrupting coronary supply to a cardiac metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma. In patients with cardiac metastases of highly malignant tumors this may be a palliative therapeutic approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/218. Acute myocardial infarction: a rare presentation of pancreatic carcinoma.Secondary neoplastic involvement of the heart is common but usually asymptomatic. Malignancy rarely presents as acute pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, and myocardial infarction in the same patient. We report a patient with unsuspected metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who presented with acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade and subsequently developed a myocardial infarction due to coronary artery occlusion secondary to a metastatic deposit around the left anterior descending artery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/218. Left ventricular myxoma.A rare development of acute inferior myocardial infarction is reported in a 23-year-old man with no previous history of cardiovascular disease. In an echocardiographic study a left intraventricular tumour was diagnosed. Cineangiographic study showed normal coronary arteries. The tumour, a myxoma, originating in the ventricular septum, was resected through the left atrium after the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was detached. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remained healthy 48 months after surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/218. Left ventricular rhabdomyoma. A case report.BACKGROUND: Cardiac tumours in infancy are rare, with a predominant incidence of rhabdomyoma. diagnosis can best be obtained by pre-cordial and transoesophageal echocardiography. Because of the tendency for spontaneous regression conservative therapy is generally recommended. A rare indication for surgical treatment is described. methods: Experimental design: case report. Setting: Pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery in a university hospital. Patient: a case of a rhabdomyoma of the left ventricle is described which was attached to the left ventricular outflow tract and the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve, causing outflow obstruction of the left ventricle. Intervention: the tumour was removed surgically using cardiopulmonary bypass. Measure: achievement of relief of left ventricular outflow obstruction. RESULTS: Immediate and complete relief of the left ventricular outflow tract was achieved with preservation of the aortic valve. The patient recovered well. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac rhabdomyomas can usually be treated conservatively. Surgical therapy can be successfully applied when rhabdomyoma results in hemodynamic problems or arrhythmias.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/218. Localized pericarditis with calcifications mimicking a pericardial tumor.A 62-year-old man was admitted with increasing palpitations. radiography of the chest demonstrated a calcified mass. magnetic resonance imaging revealed compression of the right ventricle by a tumor. At the time of cardiac catheterization, the coronary arteries were found not to supply blood flow of the mass, and no dip-and-plateau pattern was seen in the right ventricular pressure measurements. At the time of surgery, the mass was found to be a focal calcified thickening of the pericardium containing only pus. The thickening resembled an oval pericardial tumor. Microbiologic examination of the pus revealed propionibacterium acnes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/218. Both atrial resection and superior vena cava replacement in sleeve pneumonectomy for advanced lung cancer.Extended sleeve pneumonectomy including removal of the superior vena cava, right atrium and parts of left atrium on cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed in a 40-year-old man. The tumour was histologically proven a T4 N1 stage with margins free from tumour. Adjuvant radiochemotherapy was administered postoperatively on an outpatient base. The patient did well for 7 months then he died from myocardial infarction due to metastatic infiltration of the right coronary artery. Other metastatic deposits were not found at autopsy. More data from extended pulmonary resections are required to demonstrate a benefit.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/218. A surgical gauze appearing as a retrocardiac mass in a patient after coronary artery bypass surgery.Five years after open chest surgery because of three vessel coronary artery disease a patient was referred for progressing dyspnea and recent onset of atrial fibrillation. A retrocardiac mass was detected on chest X-ray and echocardiography. On CT-scan, the inhomogenous tumor made the diagnosis of a retained surgical gauze likely. Through a left incision the sponge was removed uneventfully and the dyspnea resolved.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/218. Left atrial approach to big myxoma with angiographically visible neovascularity. Report of one case.In this article, we report a 65-year-old man with a large atrial myxoma arising from the posterior wall and from the base of the right inferior pulmonary vein. The big neoplastic mass showed a large implant site. A rare atrial myxoma neovascularity arising from the atrial circumflex artery was very clearly visualized by selective coronary arteriography. The surgical approach used to resect this tumor was an isolated left atriotomy that provided excellent exposure and safe excision.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/218. myxoma of mitral valve associated with infective endocarditis.A 20-year-old man was hospitalized for persistent fever, embolism, and syncopal attack. echocardiography demonstrated a tumor on the mitral posterior leaflet. It was removed under extracorporeal circulation following extirpation of thrombus in the right common like artery. The tumor consisted of myxoma and vegetation with bacterial colony. myxoma and/or vegetation had destroyed the mitral posterior leaflet. Accordingly, it was necessary to perform mitral valve replacement. The postoperative course was uneventful. This is the 14th surgical case of mitral valve myxoma, and the first case of that associated with infective endocarditis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.003616544259968keywords = circulation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/218. Primary cardiac angiosarcoma with right coronary artery-to-pericardial fistula--a case report.Primary cardiac sarcoma is a rare tumor that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Hemopericardium and coronary artery fistula are rare complications of primary cardiac sarcoma. The authors report a case of primary cardiac angiosarcoma presenting with hemopericardium, secondary to right coronary artery-to-pericardial fistula, with a review of the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
