[Pericardial tamponade and third-degree atrioventricular block revealing a primary cardiac lymphoma].

Secondary and primary cardiac tumors are rare, and primary cardiac lymphoma are exceptional. We report a 78-year-old non immunodeficient male, with pericardial tamponade and third-degree atrioventricular block. Analysis of the pericardial fluid and tissue was not contributive.

[Intra-arterial thrombolysis of a basilar vascular accident during coronary angiography].

The authors report the case of a 67 year old man with a previous history of aortobifemoral arterial graft who had unstable angina after carotid endarterectomy. Coronary angiography by the right brachial artery was complicated by a cerebrovascular accident with a reactive coma, convulsions and respiratory problems. Selective angiography of the right vertebral artery showed an image of occlusive thrombosis of the basilar artery.
