[Management of Constrictive Pericarditis : A study of 43 operated cases].

Chronic constrictive pericarditis is a rare condition characterized by clinical signs of right heart failure, due to the symphysis of the two pericardial leaflets. Our study focused on a retrospective analysis of 43 CCP surgery observations collected over an 11-year period (2003-2013). The mean age of the patients was 32 years; 65% were male; exercise dyspnea (95%) was the most frequent sign.

Conservative aortic valve surgery and supra-coronary tube: a case report.

Conservative aortic valve surgery is becoming an effective alternative to aortic valve replacement for patients with aortic insufficiency (AI) and ascending aortic aneurysms. It has become a crucial component of the therapeutic arsenal recommended by the learned societies. This paper reports the case of a patient with severe AI following dilatation of the supra-coronary aorta that underwent aortic plasty associated with a supra-coronary tube in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department 'A' of the Ibn Sina Hospital, Rabat, Morocco.

Left ventricular reverse remodeling after annular-mitral valve repair in end-stage heart failure of dilated cardiomyopathy: A case report.

Introduction: There are numerous patients with functional mitral regurgitation resulting from dilated cardiomyopathy. The decision between surgical correction and medical management of severe mitral regurgitation in heart failure is often difficult.

Case Presentation: This is a 38-year-old women presented with recurrent symptoms of congestive heart failure.

[Self-inflicted cardiac injury : He "nailed" it].

Introduction: Nail guns are responsible for an estimated 14% of injuries among residential carpenters, intrathoracic injuries are rare but almost always require operative management with a sternotomy or thoracotomy.

Case Report: We report the case of a young carpenter who injured himself by accident during work. The nail perforated the right ventricle.

Anomalous origin of right coronary artery with interarterial course revealed by effort angina: case report.

Anomalous origin of coronary artery with interarterial course is recognized as a rare congenital heart disease. Its main manifestation is myocardial ischemia related to systolic compression of coronary arteries positioned between the great arteries. We report a case of a middle-aged man admitted in our department for an effort angina during nordic walking.

An unusual cause of multiple embolic strokes: cardiac myxoma, about a case.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary intracardiac tumors, accounting for 50% of all cardiac neoplasms, with an estimated frequency of 0.5/million/inhabitants/year. Presenting symptoms are related to cerebral or peripheral embolism, and/or intracardiac obstruction.

Use of neocords in the treatment of mitral valve prolapse: about 6 cases.

Introduction And Importance: Mitral insufficiency is a common valve disease with a prevalence of 2% and increases after the age of 65. This is the second valvulopathy operated after aortic stenosis. The surgical management of mitral insufficiency has been completely changed in recent years.

Conservative management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a case report.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) that mainly occurs in young women with no risk factors and no coronary atherosclerosis. Diagnosis is made by invasive coronary angiography (CA), computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The rarity of this entity as well as the complications of invasive treatment make it difficult to choose therapy between conservative management, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Primary cardiac hydatid cyst presenting with massive pericardial effusion: a case report.

Background: Cardiac hydatidosis is a rare manifestation of Echinococcus infection. It represents 0.5 to 2% of hydatic disease (Mustafa et al.
