Histologic Changes

This retrospective study attempted to establish the prevalence of multiple-valve involvement in Marfan syndrome and to compare echocardiographic with histopathologic findings in Marfan patients undergoing valvular or aortic surgery. We reviewed echocardiograms of 73 Marfan patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery from January 2004 through October 2009. Tissue histology was available for comparison in 29 patients. Among the 73 patients, 66 underwent aortic valve replacement or the Bentall procedure. Histologic findings were available in 29 patients, all of whom had myxomatous degeneration. Of 63 patients with moderate or severe aortic regurgitation as determined by echocardiography, 4 had thickened aortic valves. The echocardiographic findings in 18 patients with mitral involvement included mitral prolapse in 15. Of 11 patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation as determined by echocardiography, 4 underwent mitral valve repair and 7 mitral valve replacement. Histologic findings among mitral valve replacement patients showed thickened valve tissue and myxomatous degeneration. Tricuspid involvement was seen echocardiographically in 8 patients, all of whom had tricuspid prolapse. Two patients had severe tricuspid regurgitation, and both underwent repair. Both mitral and tricuspid involvement were seen echocardiographically in 7 patients. Among the 73 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for Marfan syndrome, 66 had moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, although their valves manifested few histologic changes. Eighteen patients had mitral involvement (moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, prolapse, or both), and 8 had tricuspid involvement. Mitral valves were most frequently found to have histologic changes, but the tricuspid valve was invariably involved.

Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma

Primary cardiac tumours are rare and difcult to diagnose because most are asymptomatic or have varied non-specic presentations. This report describes a 29-year-old man presenting with complete heart block, primary cardiac tumour in the left atrium, and severe mitral regurgitation. In view of the primary severe mitral regurgitation and complete heart block, mitral valve repair and pacemaker insertion were planned. Mitral valve repair was done with 29mm St Jude tailor annuloplasty ring, and the biopsy was taken from the nodules noted in the left atrium; temporary right ventricular epicardial pacemaker implantation and CABG with SVG to PDA graft were done to look for the recovery of complete heart block. Histopathological examination revealed pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient developed renal failure and liver failure during the postoperative period and expired after 10 days

Valvular heart disease is an important cause of cardiac morbidity in developed countries despite a decline in the prevalence of rheumatic disease in those countries. This chapter discusses the many etiologies of valvular heart disease and presents methods for assessment and management. Specific valvular lesions discussed include mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, mitral valve prolapse, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and tricuspid and pulmonary disease. The section on tricuspid disease includes a discussion of mechanical prostheses (ball-in-cage and tilting-disk) and biologic prostheses (xenografts, allografts, and autografts) and their complications.  This review contains 5 figures, 9 tables, and 53 references. Keywords: Valvular heart disease, stenosis, regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), aortic stenosis, congenital bicuspid valve, senile valvular calcification, aortic regurgitation, chordae or papillary muscles

We report the case of a 71-year-old man hospitalized for acute heart failure. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed mitral valve aneurysm (MVA) rupture and severe mitral regurgitation. No vegetations but significant aortic regurgitation were also observed. MVA perforation is a rare life-threatening condition that typically occurs as a complication of endocarditis but may also be associated with other diseases, in particular connective tissue disorders. In the present case, the absence of such etiology suggests a possible role for of aortic regurgitation in MVA rupture secondary to a “jet lesion” mechanism.
