Aspergillus can cause devastating opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Rarely does this fungus invade the heart, and when it does, survival is especially poor despite optimal medical and surgical treatment. We report a case of cardiac aspergilloma with involvement of the tricuspid valve and both the right atrium and ventricle found on a transthoracic echocardiogram in an immunocompromised patient after developing atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. The findings from this case suggest that early clinical suspicion is critical in early diagnosis and thus early treatment.

Abstract Ebstein malformation of tricuspid valve is a congenital disease of tricuspid valve with associated right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a form of inherited left ventricular cardiomyopathy caused by sarcomeric protein gene mutations with inherent risks of sudden cardiac death. Here we report a rare case with co-occurrence of Ebstein malformation of tricuspid valve and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in a young patient.

Complete Atrioventricular

Congenital complete heart block is defined as a complete atrioventricular block occurring prenatally, at birth, or within the first month of life. Congenital complete heart block has a high mortality rate, and in infants with normal heart morphology, it is often associated with maternal connective tissue disease. In these latter cases, neonatal congenital complete heart block is usually irreversible. We present a rare case of a female neonate who had bradycardia noted at a gestational age of 37 weeks. Her mother had no autoimmune disease history. She had no structural heart disease, and the serology surveys for autoantibodies including SSA/Ro and SSB/La were all negative. Without intervention or medication, her congenital complete heart block completely recovered to a normal sinus rhythm within 5 days. The cause of the transient congenital complete heart block was unknown in this case.

Although an ascending aortic thrombus is a rare condition, it can cause serious complications of thromboembolism. Here we present a rare case of a patient who was hospitalized due to ileal arteries embolization caused by emboli from a giant thrombus in the ascending aorta. After 10 days anti-coagulation therapy, we performed a surgery to replace the ascending aorta containing the strip organized thrombus with a synthetic graft. During two years of postoperative follow-up, no recurrence of aortic thrombosis was found. Although the exact cause of this thrombus remains unclear, we believe that it is important to perform a surgery as soon as the presence of an ascending aortic thrombus is confirmed, which could help preventing the major recurrent embolic events.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis, one of the most prevalent cardiac presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus, typically affects the aortic or mitral valve; tricuspid valve involvement is highly unusual. Secondary antiphospholipid syndrome increases the frequency and severity of cardiac valvular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome whose massive tricuspid regurgitation was caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis isolated to the tricuspid valve. In addition, we discuss this rare case in the context of the relevant medical literature.
