Migration of foreign bodies (FB) with the blood flow to the heart is a rare, but very alarming condition as it may lead to life-threatening complications and death. Objects that are larger than 5 mm in diameter and/or irregular in shape are recommended for removal from extra- and intracardiac areas to prevent incurable embolization. Surgical extraction of intracardiac objects is a serious surgical challenge associated with difficulties to operate, during the continuous movement of the heart, and identify the exact FB location. Early diagnosis and timely removal of FBs are crucial treatment factors for this rare case resolution. We report a case of accidental migration of a metal FB object (nail) about 1.0*0.3 cm from the right neck area jugular vein to the right ventricle apex in the heart. The FB localization was accurately detected using Bi-plane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with a special comet-tail artifact. TEE provided valuable information before surgery, and the nail was successfully removed through open-heart surgical procedures and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Postoperative tests indicated no complications.

AbstractIsolation of the left innominate artery from the right aortic arch is a rare anomaly. Herein, we present an even rarer case of incomplete isolation of the proximal left innominate artery with the right aortic arch in a 3-month-old female infant with a double-outlet right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis. Surgical repair at 6 months of age was successful, leading to the restoration of adequate flow in the left arm.

Abstract Background Fatty masses of the heart are relatively uncommon. This report is about a rare case of extensive fat infiltration along the apical interventricular septum that causes separation of the right ventricular apex from left ventricular apex, simulating a bifid cardiac apex. Case summary The patient was a 58-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital because of palpitations and chest pain. A trasnsthoracic echocardiogram was performed and it showed a thickenned anterior pericardium so a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed. CMR revealed a large amount of epicardial and pericardial fat without adipose tissue inside the right ventricle wall. In the cardiac apex this fat seemed a lipoma however CMR demonstrated the fat was not capsulated and besides, it extended, as if it were an infiltrative disorder, in the cardiac apex between both ventricles. Patient was discharged with an implantable loop recorder (ILR) in order to ruled out ventricular arrhythmia. During a two year follow-up, ILR has shown several symptomatic supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia episodes and no other arrhythmic events have been reported. Also, the CMR has been repeated and it has shown similar results. Discussion Fatty masses of the heart are relatively uncommon. Among those masses are included cardiac lipomas, lipomatous infiltration of the right ventricle, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) and lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum. The findings in the CMR of our patient do not fulfill the criteria of the aforementioned disorders. Our patient shows a pattern of unusual fatty infiltration pattern of unclear etiology. The prognostic value of this type of heart disease is unknown. In our patient, although the follow-up has not been very long, it does not seem to have had any relevant consequences, so far. Conclusion This is a rare case of a patient with a large amount of epicardial and pericardial fat that seems to infiltrate between both ventricular apex, as a bifid cardiac apex. It is apparently asymptomatic. Abstract 108 Figure. CMR-Cardiac-fatty_EECHO-2019

Objective: to describe a rare case of infective endocarditis (IE) with isolated localization in the pulmonary valve (PV).Materials and methods. We observed primary IE with isolated localization in the PV in a 27-year-old female patient without risk factors of right-side IE.Results. The disease was caused by Streptococcus gordonii and proceeded acutely with typical signs of right-side IE: fever above 38 °С, chills, clinical picture of bilateral septic embolic abscess pneumonia, as well as secondary anemia, secondary thrombocytopenia, and glomerulonephritis. Echocardiography showed large vegetations in the PV prolapsing in the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.Conclusion. IE with localization in the PV should be suspected in patients with fever and clinical picture of septic embolic pneumonia in absence of other embolic situations.

Abstract We describe a rare case of high-grade osteosarcoma with intravascular extension to the right atrium and right ventricle in a 23-year-old woman. Osteosarcomas rarely metastasize to the heart, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature thus far. Diagnoses in some of these cases were made during investigation for severe cardiac failure and in most of these cases at autopsy. We describe a unique case of intravascular extension of the tumor embolus in a cordlike fashion from the left femoral vein to the right side of the heart that morphologically resembled a chondrosarcoma.
