Cardiac masses commonly involve primary tumors, metastatic diseases, and nonbacterial thrombotic and infective endocarditis. myxomas are the most common primary tumors, accounting for 75%. Hemolymphangiomas are a group of congenital vascular and lymphatic malformations that originate from the mesenchyme, with an incidence rate of 0.12%-0.28% per year. Hemolymphangiomas have been found in the rectum, small intestine, spleen, liver, chest wall, and mediastinum but have not yet been reported in the ventricular outflow tract in the heart. Herein, we report a case of a hemolymphangioma tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The tumor was successfully resected, and the patient was followed up for 18 months and did not exhibit tumor recurrence.

Fetal Characteristics and Perinatal Outcomes in Tetralogy of Fallot Without a Ductus Arteriosus.

Pediatr Cardiol

December 2024

Division of Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Palo Alto, CA, USA.

Absence of the ductus arteriosus (DA) is common in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), occurring in up to 30% of cases. Yet, the clinical course and fetal echocardiographic features are not well described, limiting prenatal counseling. This study examines the fetal echocardiographic characteristics and perinatal outcomes in children with TOF absent DA (TOF/ADA), comparing them to those with a DA (TOF/DA).

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Echocardiography-guided percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation procedure for the treatment of Fabry disease: a case report.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

Xijing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center, Department of Ultrasound, Xijing Hospital, Airforce Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710032, China.

Background: This is a case report of a patient with Fabry disease (FD). We successfully treated a patient with ventricular septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction caused by FD. We report our exclusive new surgery for patients with LVOT obstruction, percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) procedure™ (percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation).

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common finding in patients with surgically repaired congenital heart defects including transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). While often asymptomatic, PVCs can sometimes lead to palpitations, dyspnea, and hemodynamic compromise, requiring therapeutic intervention. The arterial switch operation is the preferred treatment for D-TGA, but these patients have a 2% incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and 1% incidence of sudden cardiac death post-operatively.
