Right ventricular myxoma is very rare, especially its originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and extending to the main pulmonary artery. Here, we report a case of a giant RVOT myxoma, indistinguishable from pulmonary embolism (PE). Although the myxoma is a candidate for urgent surgery, this case satisfied diagnostic criteria for PE and had no indication for intervention, according to the guideline. The strategy for this mass can be completely different, depending on the diagnosis. Surgical extraction was selected because of atypical clinical course, findings, and nagging debut for neoplasm. Then it made hemodynamic status stable by releasing RVOT obstruction and allowed to reveal the diagnosis as myxoma histopathologically.

Septic Pulmonary Embolism

We present a case of a fifty-three-year-old male who presented with severe sepsis. He had been treated as a pneumonia patient for five months before the admission. Investigations revealed isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis and septic pulmonary embolism in addition to undiagnosed right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. The patient underwent surgery for the relief of RVOT obstruction by substantial muscle resection of the RVOT, pulmonary artery embolectomy, pulmonary valve replacement, and reconstruction of RVOT and main pulmonary artery with two separate bovine pericardial patches. He was discharged from our hospital after 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotics. He recovered well on follow-up 16 weeks after discharge. A high-suspicion index is needed to diagnose right-side heart endocarditis. Blood cultures and transesophageal echocardiogram are the key diagnostic tools.

AbstractValved bovine jugular vein conduit is considered a suitable choice for paediatric population with congenital heart defect requiring right ventricle to main pulmonary artery connection. However, complications related to the use of this device have been reported, with conduit failure occurring mainly as a consequence of stenosis, conduit thrombosis, and valve regurgitation. We present a case of aneurysmal conduit failure of a valved bovine jugular vein conduit used to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract.
