Therapeutic embolization of blood vessels by means of hardly steerable devices (e.g., metal coils, gel foam) can result in displacement of the emboli in the circulation. The embolization of an ACVB-graft erroneously implanted to the anterior cardiac vein was performed, applying a catheter system with a detachable silicone rubber balloon.

Although relatively rare, cardiac metastases represent a significant clinical challenge because of their impact on cardiac function and overall patient prognosis. This case presents a rare and atypical presentation of a patient with ventricular arrhythmia revealing a metastatic cancer in the heart. A 59-year-old man with lung cancer was admitted for chest tightness and episodes of syncope.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is approved for patients with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who are deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk with life expectancy of more than 1 year, but has also been used off-label in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) for symptomatic relief who are not candidates for septal reduction therapy. An 83-year-old woman with decompensated heart failure was found to have HOCM with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and a large P2 flail segment with ruptured cords. TEER was performed resulting in mild MR and resolution of the prior left ventricular outflow tract gradient.

We present the case of a young patient with an apical cardiac mass exhibiting an anterior pseudonecrosis pattern on the electrocardiogram. Cardiac ultrasound revealed a hyperechoic mass infiltrating the apical wall. However, cardiac magnetic resonance ruled out signs of infiltration and demonstrated significant contrast uptake.
