Project description:Large intracavitary masses such as those occupying most of a cardiac chamber and obstructing blood flow are not routinely encountered in clinical practice. The differential diagnosis includes neoplastic as well as nonneoplastic causes. Primary cardiac tumors by themselves are uncommon. We hereby report a rare case of a middle-aged female presenting with New York Heart Association Class III symptoms, whose transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a huge mass in right-sided chambers with a novel double ball valve type movement. She successfully underwent urgent surgical resection of the mass with histopathological confirmation of diagnosis.

The evanescent right atrial mass.

Project description:An unusual cause of pulmonary emboli from an evanescent right atrial mass is described in this case report. The systematic approach from initial presentation to a definite diagnosis of a rare condition is described.

Carcinoma of unknown primary presenting as large right atrial and ventricular mass secondary to disseminated tumor thrombosis.

Project description:We report a 65-year-old male patient who presented with right heart failure and a large mobile right atrial and ventricular mass on echocardiography. His computed tomography demonstrated bilateral supraclavicular/mediastinal lymphadenopathy, right atrial and ventricular mass with right pulmonary artery segmental embolism, and multiple liver hypodense lesions. His tumor markers were negative. However, fine-needle aspiration cytology of supraclavicular lymph node revealed metastatic carcinoma suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma. He was suspected to have carcinoma of unknown primary origin. This case illustrates a rare presentation of carcinoma of unknown primary origin with disseminated tumor thrombosis primarily manifesting in heart and other sites.

Transesophageal Echocardiography Guided Partial Right Atrial Inflow Occlusion - A Case Study.

Project description:Deployment of stent-grafts and other endovascular devices is a common technique for various vascular repair procedures. Induced, transient, periods of hypotension are essential to the precise deployment of a device as this minimizes displacement that can result from high pressure aortic flow. Partial inflow occlusion of the right atrium is a reliable, precise, and safe method of achieving this. We present a case where intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was used to guide and confirm balloon placement for right atrium inflow occlusion during a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) procedure for repair of an aortic dissection in a 67 year old male. This highlights a novel use of TEE in the context of endovascular surgery, and showcases an alternative method of reliably achieving transient hypotension.

Pediatric Right Atrial Mass With Pulmonary Embolization.

Project description:• Echocardiography is a valuable tool for differentiation of cardiac masses. • Right atrial masses can cause severe complications, including pulmonary embolism. • Management of a cardiac thrombus depends on features and hemodynamic impact.
