Right atrial rupture following a hoof kick to the chest wall.

We report a case of right atrial rupture due to blunt trauma by a hoof kick to the anterior chest wall. We describe our successful management of this case. We suggest that a diagnosis of cardiac chamber rupture should be considered in all cases of blunt thoracic trauma.

[Multiple myxoma of the right ventricle with infiltration of the pulmonary infundibulum and arteries].

The authors report a case of multiple myxoma of the right ventricle treated surgically. One of the myxomas infiltrated the right ventricular ourflow tract, the main pulmonary artery and its branches. This case underlines the difficulty of radical resection of infiltrating cardiac myxomas.

[Double recurrence of myxoma of the left atrium. Apropos of a case].

Multiple recurrences of cardiac myxomas are rare and high-light the problem of re-operation. We report a case of double recurrence of left atrial myxoma and analyse the causes of recurrence. In our case, the first myxoma was inserted in the left inter-atrial septum, and the first recurrent tumor was inserted near the pulmonary vein, forming adhesion with the inter-atrial septum.
