Article Synopsis
- Cardiac hemangioma is a rare, benign tumor that can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms depending on its location and interaction with nearby structures.
- A case study describes a 79-year-old patient diagnosed with right cardiac hemangioma after experiencing severe symptoms like fluid buildup and heart failure.
- The tumor was successfully removed using cardiopulmonary bypass, leading to a favorable outcome after 12 months, highlighting its unusual size and location near the tricuspid valve.
Background: The Ozaki procedure is an innovative surgical technique aiming at the reconstruction of the aortic valve with autologous pericardium to overcome the limitations of commercially available prostheses.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 71 patients who underwent the Ozaki operation at our center between October 2014 and February 2020.
Results: No in-hospital death occurred.
Swan-Ganz catheter entrapment in the heart, vena cava, or pulmonary artery is rare but may lead to life-threatening events. We report a case of severe tricuspid regurgitation resulting from papillary muscle rupture during percutaneous removal of a Swan-Ganz catheter (SCG) caught by a surgical suture. We performed urgent tricuspid valve repair by suturing the ruptured papillary muscle.
