We report the eighth case of surgical removal of a papillary endocardial tumor. The surgical approach was aided by intraoperative two-dimensional echocardiography. The tumor was attached to the chorda tendinea of the mitral valve and was successfully removed via a left atrial approach.

African swine fever (ASF) is considered as one of the most threatening diseases for the pig farming industry all over the world. Due to the lack of an effective vaccine, organized farms and backyard rearing must strictly enforce control measures in order to combat the disease. The present report describes the ASF epidemic in a piggery in Uttar Pradesh state, India.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a benign cardiac tumor that most commonly arises from the valvular endocardium and is typically resected because of its predisposition to cause embolic complications. In this clinical vignette, we describe the case of a patient who presented with a round, mobile 1.3 × 1.

Background: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are benign endocardial tumours with embolic potential. This article is a systematic review to identify the clinical profile, diagnosis, tumour characteristics, and treatment modalities in patients with CPF presenting with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Methods: This systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and Embase databases, including case reports and/or series and observational studies (for a search period of up until April 2022).

The increasing recognition of the right ventricle (RV) necessitates the development of RV-focused interventions, devices and testbeds. In this study, we developed a soft robotic model of the right heart that accurately mimics RV biomechanics and hemodynamics, including free wall, septal and valve motion. This model uses a biohybrid approach, combining a chemically treated endocardial scaffold with a soft robotic synthetic myocardium.

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are rare benign cardiac tumors typically arising from the valvular endocardium, often affecting the aortic and mitral valves. They can range from asymptomatic to causing severe thromboembolic complications like stroke. This article presents a case of a tricuspid valve PFE in an 81-year-old patient with severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
