Case Report: the transcatheter extraction of an atrial mass (TEXAS) technique.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
September 2024
Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Hospital, Section of Cardiology and Department of Anesthesiology, 50 Hillcrest Medical Boulevard Suite 303, Waco, TX 76712, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Intracardiac masses, usually treated with surgery, can now be removed using evolving non-surgical techniques, as demonstrated in a case involving a 77-year-old woman with a large right atrial mass.
- The mass, 40 mm in size, was removed percutaneously using a large suction cannula and an electrified snare, avoiding surgery and leading to a successful outcome despite a complication (haemopericardium) that was treated effectively.
- The case utilized the TEXAS technique, a modification of the SEATTLE procedure, marking it as the largest reported case of percutaneous removal of an intracardiac tumor, indicating potential for this method for smaller tumors in the future.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a 7-year-old female central bearded dragon with a complex neoplastic lesion in her left hip joint, accompanied by severe swelling, weight loss, and apathy.
- Full-body radiographs revealed significant swelling around the femur and the absence of the left femoral head.
- Postmortem examination showed myxomatous proliferations and cysts invading the femoral bone, along with signs of metabolic bone and degenerative joint diseases, marking a rare occurrence of synovial myxomas in reptiles.
Mazabraud's syndrome in female patients: Two case reports.
World J Orthop
June 2024
Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310009, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: Mazabraud's syndrome (MS) is a rare and slowly progressive benign disease characterized by the concurrent presence of fibrous dysplasia of bone and intramuscular myxoma, and is thought to be associated with mutations of the gene. To date, only about 100 cases of MS have been reported in the literature, but its standard treatment strategy remains unclear.
Case Summary: We report two cases of MS in young women who underwent different treatments based on their symptoms and disease manifestations.

Article Synopsis
- - An 81-year-old man with a history of heart surgery and atrial fibrillation was found to have a mass in his right atrium during an echocardiogram, prompting further examination and treatment.
- - A transesophageal echocardiogram identified a well-defined 23×17 mm tumor located above the cavotricuspid isthmus, leading to careful surgical planning to avoid contact with the heart.
- - The tumor, attached to the right atrial wall, was successfully removed; pathological analysis revealed myxomatous tissue, and the patient had an uncomplicated recovery, being discharged 23 days post-operation.
