SummaryWe present a very rare example of chronic right heart failure caused by torrent tricuspid regurgitation. Massive right heart dilatation and severe tricuspid regurgitation due to avulsion of the tricuspid valve apparatus occurred as a result of a blunt chest trauma following the explosion of a gas bottle 20 years before admission, when the patient was a young man in Vietnam. After this incident, the patient went through a phase of severe illness, which can retrospectively be identified as an acute right heart decompensation with malaise, ankle edema, and dyspnea. Blunt chest trauma caused by explosives leading to valvular dysfunction has not been reported in the literature so far. It is remarkable that the patient not only survived this trauma, but had been managing his chronic heart failure well without medication for over 20 years.Learning pointsThorough clinical and physical examination remains the key to identifying patients with relevant valvulopathies.With good acoustic windows, TTE is superior to TEE in visualizing the right heart.Traumatic avulsion of valve apparatus is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma and must be actively sought for. Transthoracic echocardiography remains the method of choice in these patients.

Severe tricuspid valve insufficiency causes right atrial dilatation, venous congestion, and reduced atrial contractility, and may eventually lead to right heart failure. We report a case of a patient with severe tricuspid valve insufficiency, right heart failure, and a massively dilated right atrium. The enormously dilated atrium compressed the right lung, resulting in a radiographic appearance of a mediastinal tumor. Tricuspid valve repair and reduction of the right atrium was performed. Follow up examination revealed improvement of liver function, reduced peripheral edema and improved New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. The reduction of the atrial size and repair of the tricuspid valve resulted in a restoration of the conduit and reservoir function of the right atrium. Given the chronicity of the disease process and the long-standing atrial fibrillation, there is no impact of this operation on right atrial contraction. In combination with the reconstruction of the tricuspid valve, the reduction atrioplasty will reduce the risk of thrombembolic events and preserve the right ventricular function.

Rare Case Report

Cardiomyopathy is the measurable deterioration of the function of the myocardium for any reason, usually leading to heart failure. Tricuspid regurgitation may result from structural alterations of any one or all of the components of the tricuspid valve apparatus which include the leaflets, chordae tendinae, annulus, and papillary muscles or adjacent right ventricular muscle. We are reporting a case of Cardiomyopathy with tricuspid regurgitation with right heart failure in a 38 years male. Preoperatively he was diagnosed as a case of constrictive pericarditis. Diagnosis of Tricuspid regurgitation with cardiomegaly was confirmed peroperatively. During operatrion tricuspid valve anatomy dimunited and severe tricuspid regurgitation was identified. Grossly dilated RA, RV identified and other anatomy of heart was normal. De-Vega Tricuspid anuloplasty done with pledgeted stich 2-0 polyster. Part of right atrial wall (2X2.5 inch) excised and resected portion sent for histopathology. Postoperative course was uneventful with marked improvement of symptoms.University Heart Journal Vol. 11, No. 1, January 2015; 45-47

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options. CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, cost-effective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis.

Abstract Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure induced by sustained pressure overload is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in several cardiopulmonary disorders. Reliable and reproducible animal models of RV failure are important in order to investigate disease mechanisms and effects of potential therapeutic strategies. To establish a rat model of RV failure perfectly, we observed the right ventricle and carotid artery hemodynamics characteristics in different degrees of pulmonary artery banding of rats of different body weights. Methods: Rats were subjected to 6 groups：control(0%, n=5)(pulmonary arterial banding 0%), PAB(1-30%, n=4)(pulmonary arterial banding1-30%), PAB(31-60%, n=6)(pulmonary arterial banding31-60%),PAB(61-70%, n=5)(pulmonary arterial bandin61-70%), PAB(71-80%,n=4)(pulmonary arterial banding71-80%), PAB(100%, n=3)(pulmonary arterial banding 100%). We measured the right ventricular pressure(RVP) by right heart catheterization when the pulmonary arterial was ligated. Results: The RVP gradually increased with increasing degree of banding, but when occlusion level exceeding 70%, high pressure state can be only maintained for a few minutes or seconds, and then the RVP drops rapidly until it falls below the normal pressure, which in Group F particularly evident.Conclusions: RVP have different reactions when the occlusion level is not the same, and the extent of more than 70% ligation is a successful model of acute right heart failure. These results may have important consequences for therapeutic strategies to prevent acute right heart failure.
