A 24-Year-Old Male Patient With an Ostium Secundum Complex Atrial Defect Secondary to a Perforated Aneurysm With Inferior Vena Cava Agenesis.

The article describes a successful clinical outcome in the case of a 24-year-old male with a diagnosis of an ostium secundum atrial defect secondary to a perforated aneurysm associated with vena cava agenesis. During hospitalization, an echocardiogram revealed the presence of ostium secundum inter-atrial communication with a left to right shunt, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%, and mild pulmonary hypertension, measured at 40 mmHg. CT imaging showed anomalous dilation of the azygos vein (16.

Placental Transmogrification of the Lung in a Patient Without Emphysematous Disease.

We present a 47-year-old male without a relevant history or past respiratory diseases. He debuted with an acute, non-complicated COVID-19 infection, and later he started with mMRC-2 dyspnea, accompanied by a non-expectorant cough of four months evolution. A CT thoracic scan showed a dilatation of the aerial homogenous space and a well-defined anterior left pericardiac level, and a pericardial left bulla was diagnosed.

Surgical Resection of an Intravascular Lipoma of the Superior Vena Cava.

Intravascular lipomas (IVL) located in the superior vena cava (SVS) are rare benign primary venous tumors with less than 15 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with IVL of the SVC extending to the right brachiocephalic vein. She was treated successfully using a hybrid procedure which involved endovascular control of the right subclavian vein and surgical approach via median sternotomy followed by mass resection and use of pericardial patch for vein defect closure.

[Comportamiento y decisión cardiovascular en el síndrome de MASS. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura].

MASS syndrome (disorder of connective tissue characterized by involvement of the mitral valve, aorta, skeleton, and skin) is a rare genetic disease with a phenotype similar to that of Marfan syndrome, but with important cardiovascular differences like the absence of aortic root aneurysm and marked mitral affection. We present a case of a patient with MASS syndrome and review the limited literature addressing these differences, and we discuss the impact this information may have in decisions regarding cardiovascular surgery.
