Could Pulsed Wave Tissue Doppler Imaging Solve the Diagnostic Dilemma of Right Atrial Masses and Pseudomasses? A Case Series and Literature Review.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Biomedical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, University of Milan, 20122 Milan, Italy.
Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

HCA Healthcare Research Institute, HCA Healthcare, Nashville, Tennessee.
Background: Current treatment guidelines for infective endocarditis focus on left-sided infective endocarditis. Because right-sided infective endocarditis has different presentations and outcomes, it is crucial to further delineate surgical outcomes for isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis (TVE).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 374 surgically treated patients with isolated TVE from January 2012 through April 2022 who underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgical procedures.
Successful Treatment of Unilateral Pulmonary Edema as Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Complication-Case Presentation.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Surgery IV, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Targu Mures, 38 Gheorghe Marinescu Street, 540139 Targu Mures, Romania.
In recent decades, the advantages of minimizing surgical trauma have led to the development of minimally invasive surgical procedures. While the benefits often outweigh the risks, several challenges are encountered that are not present in conventional surgical approaches. Unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) after mitral interventions performed through a right-sided approach is a rare but potentially life-threatening event.

January 2025
Department of Pneumology and Critical Care Medicine, Thoraxklinik at the University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: In COPD patients with severe right-sided emphysema, complete major and incomplete minor fissure, implantation of one-way valves in both the right upper (RUL) and middle lobes (ML) is a possible approach for endoscopic lung volume reduction. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the response to therapy and the complication rate at 90 days (90d-FU) after combined RUL-ML valve implantation.
Methods: This retrospective, monocentric study included all patients from the Thoraxklinik Heidelberg who underwent RUL-ML valve treatment between 2012 and 2023 with available follow-up data.
Dysplasia of the tricuspid valve leading to recurrent atrial flutter and fibrillation: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Klinik Landstrasse, Juchgasse 25, A-1030 Wien, Austria.
Background: Atrial flutter (AFL) is usually effectively treated by cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation. If AFL recurs despite ablation, there is risk of progression to atrial fibrillation (AF) and clinicians should consider underlying structural heart diseases. This consideration becomes especially critical when right-heart-chambers are dilated.
