A case of a small-sized cavernous hemangioma in the right ventricle - an incidental finding

Membranous ventricular septal aneurysm was diagnosed by echocardiography in 17 dogs and three cats. The aneurysm appeared as a thin membrane protruding into the right ventricle from the margins of a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD). The aneurysm was intact in nine dogs and two cats and perforated by a small VSD in eight dogs and one cat. Other congenital heart defects were present in seven dogs. In all animals, the aneurysm was an incidental finding observed during echocardiographic examination, and it did not appear to directly cause any cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract Case Report A 39-year-old male patient was transferred to emergency room by mobile intensive care unit after receiving a firearm wound in the neck while hunting: accidentally hit by a shotgun. Physical examination highlighted the existence of multiple entry holes at right side face and neck and some above the shoulder girdle line, the rest of the thorax and abdomen did not present skin lesions. Axial tomography (CT) showed multiple pellets in the face and neck tissues and two intracardiac pellets in the right ventricle. He did not present pneumothorax, pneumopericardium or pericardial effusion. He underwent surgical intervention by otolaryngology and vascular teams due to right cervical hematoma and secondary alterations to the shot in the right internal jugular vein. Enucleation of the right eye was also necessary. Echocardiographic study showed the presence of a small hyperechogenic mass with posterior acoustic shadow located in interventricular septum. Another similar structure was also found, in the right ventricle, next to the tricuspid annulus: normal tricuspid valve function. Considering the trajectory (blue triangle) of the shot and the absence of thoracic complications, we thought about the plausibility of projectile embolization from the right internal jugular vein. Discussion The presence of projectiles in different cardiac structures can occur by direct impact (the most frequent mechanism), passing through thoracic and/or abdominal structures to be lodged in the pericardium and/or myocardium. They are often accompanied by manifestations such as pericardial effusion or pneumothorax as a result of their trajectory. Embolization to the heart is a much more uncommon mechanism by impacting in another anatomical location such as the neck or lower extremitie. In these cases there may be no extra-cardiac manifestations and can be an incidental finding of a previous event. In our case the intracardiac pellets were s was handled conservatively and the rest of the wounds produced by the shot showed a good evolution. The patient remained asymptomatic from a cardiological point of view during hospitalization and follow up. There is no evidence to support the therapeutic attitude that should be followed in these cases. When the patient is stable and the projectiles are non-mobile, conservative treatment with periodic follow-up is a suitable option. Abstract P191 Figure. A. 3D echo, B. Xplane, C. CT VR.

Coil Migration ◽

Metallic Coils

Pelvic vein embolisation (PVE) with metallic coils is an effective treatment for pelvic venous congestion. The migration of coils following the procedure has been well-reported; however, the most effective approach to management is still unclear. In the present case, the authors describe the delayed identification of a migrated coil to the right ventricle following an ovarian vein embolisation. The patient presented to the emergency department with chest pain and subsequent radiology identified a coil in the right ventricle. This was found to be present on previous radiology, but had not been reported on. The position of the coil had remained stable and therefore was deemed an unlikely cause for the chest pain. The coil was managed conservatively. This demonstrates how asymptomatic coil migration may go undetected and thus the migration rates in the literature may be underreported. Post-PVE screening to assess for migration could improve the accuracy of complication rates and prevent delayed complications associated with migrated coils.

Routine Assessment

AbstractThis case report describes a 52-year-old male patient, with the incidental finding of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) fragments impacted into the right ventricle, secondary to IVCF fragmentation and subsequent embolization. While IVCFs are prescribed to prevent pulmonary embolizations when anticoagulation is either contraindicated, or has failed, IVCF embolizations to the heart represent an extremely rare, but potentially life-threatening complication. Of note, at the time of writing, the utility and effectiveness of IVCF are not fully established. Intracardiac embolizations of IVCF typically present with complications such as hypotension, cardiac tamponade, arrhythmias, ventricle perforation, bleeding, cardiac arrest, and death. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of an asymptomatic kidney transplant recipient found to have right ventricle embolizations of IVCF fragments through routine assessment. Additionally, this is also the first report of an asymptomatic patient who presented IVCF fragments embolized to the right ventricle and left gonadal vein in the same clinical setting.
