[Fatal outcome of complete resection of undifferentiated pleomorphic cardiac sarcoma : About a case].

Introduction: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a very rare malignant primary cardiac tumor with a poor prognosis.

Observation: A 34-year-old woman complained of dyspnea evolving in a febrile context with altered general condition: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a left intra-atrial mass measuring 51/26 mm in diameter. A thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass occupying the left atrium measuring 42/28/34 mm, associated with two pulmonary metastases.

Incidental diagnosis of a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction and represent a myocardial rupture contained within a pericardial space limited by adhesions. Differentiating it from a left ventricular aneurysm can be a real diagnostic challenge. We report a case of a 50-year-old man admitted for symptoms of left heart failure.

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.
