Coronary Steal

<p>Coronary artery fistulas are rare anatomic abnormalities of the coronary arteries present in 0.002% of the general population and represent 14% of all anomalies of coronary arteries. Their clinical relevance focuses mainly on the mechanism of "coronary steal phenomenon”, causing myocardial functional ischemia even in the absence of stenosis, hence common symptoms are angina or dyspnea. Small size fistulas are mostly asymptomatic and have excellent prognosis if managed medically with regular follow-up consisting also in echocardiography every 2-5 years. Big-sized and symptomatic fistulas, on the contrary, should undergo invasive closure, either with a transcatheter approach or with surgical ligation, whose results are equivalent at long-term follow-up. However, in some cases, symptoms may not correspond with size. Larger fistulas may be asymptomatic and very small fistulas may cause symptoms like angina in our patient. Here, we are presenting an emblematic and very rare case with a complete literature review. Particularly, very didactic angiography images and then during surgery are shown. </p>

In Pregnancy

Aggressive angiomyxoma is an interstitial tumour that is often misdiagnosed and is likely to recur. There have been few reported cases of angiomyxoma in pregnant women. We report a case of a woman who was previously diagnosed with a tumour in her vulva that increased in size during both of her pregnancies and spontaneously decreased postpartum. Local excision was performed and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist was administered. According to a literature review, aggressive angiomyxoma is associated with good maternal and child outcomes. Caesarean section is not the delivery method of choice, but it is indicated if the tumour is preventing vaginal birth. Treatment for angiomyxoma is mainly postpartum local resection supplemented by hormone therapy. This tumour frequently recurs and patients should undergo long-term follow-up.

Long Term Follow Up

We report a rare case of an isolated critical tricuspid regurgitation due to rupture of a papillary muscle. This patient presented with a cyanosis immediately after birth. Despite mechanical ventilation and medical management to decrease the pulmonary vascular resistance, the low cardiac output persisted, along with the cyanosis. Repair of the tricuspid valve was performed, using an artificial tendinous cord, on the 4th day of life. The short-term result of the surgery is satisfactory, but the patient requires long-term follow-up.

Long Term Follow Up

An inflammatory gingival mass surrounding resorbing teeth was diagnosed via biopsy in a 9-year-old domestic shorthair cat. A dorsal rim excision was performed to remove the entire mass with associated teeth and bone. Histopathological diagnosis of the en bloc tissue revealed an odontogenic fibromyxoma. Extensive literature review revealed few case reports of companion animals with this neoplasm, and none in a feline patient. This report documents the clinical presentation, diagnostic differentials, surgical therapy, and long-term follow-up of an odontogenic fibromyxoma in a cat.
