Pulmonary chronic heart (CPC) is an enlargement associated or not with dilation of the right ventricle. Objective: To recall the echocardiographic-Doppler aspects essential for the screening of pulmonary chronic heart. Patients and method: Retrospective study carried out between January 2009 and April 2019 interesting the cases of pulmonary chronic heart. Results: out of 124 cases of pulmonary chronic heart, 11 cases were included. These were four men and 7 women with a mean age of 63 ± 19 years (range: 20-84 years). The radiological and electrical semiology of pulmonary chronic heart was found, lacking specificity and sensitivity. Dilation of the right heart chambers, dyskinesia of the interventricular septum and hypertrophy of the free wall of the right ventricle ˃ 5 mm were observed. The mean maximum velocity of tricuspid insufficiency on continuous Doppler was 4.6 ± 1.32 ms / s (Extremes: 3.59-7.58 m / s) and the mean dilation of the inferior vena cava was 23.2 ± 3.9mm (Extreme: 21.2-27mm). Conclusion: CPC is uncommon and predominant in women. The EKG and chest X-ray are first-line exams without sensitivity or specificity. Screening for CPC is based on echocardiographic-Doppler criteria. The right cardiac catheterization remains the key examination.

Central venous pressure measurements in the abdominal inferior vena cava were compared with measurements in the right atrium in 10 infants and 10 children during cardiac catheterization. At end expiration, the mean pressures at these two sites were within 1 mm Hg of each other in all 20 patients, with a mean difference of 0.0 ± 0.36 mm Hg. The abdominal inferior vena cava is a safe and convenient site for measurement of central venous pressure, and our study confirms that such measurements are accurate.

We report a case of a 58-year-old female who was found to have a fractured limb of her IVC filter in her right ventricle during a cardiac catheterization. A 25 mm radioopaque thin linear structure was seen in the proximal portion of the right ventricle. It was fixed and did not migrate or change position during investigations. On fluoroscopy, the IVC filter was observed in an appropriate location in the midabdomen. Yet, fractures of at least two of the metal filamentous legs of the IVC device were noticed. The patient was made aware of the many risks associated with filter removal. Due to the high risks of the procedure, she refused surgery and the filter fragment was not removed. We present this case to underscore the potential complications of IVC filters.

Inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) migration to the right ventricle is a life-threatening condition. Conventionally, on-pump ventriculotomy is required if the endovascular retrieval is compromised. However, for patients in fragile physical condition, the complications of myocardial revascularization are unacceptable. We herein present a case of IVCF migration to the right ventricle in which the hook of the filter was tilted against the anterior wall of the right ventricle. The IVCF was successfully removed via a hybrid technique combining an off-pump microincision of the right ventricle with direct-vision snare capture. This hybrid technique avoided the complication of myocardial revascularization, shortened the operation time, and reduced the amount of blood loss.

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with right ventricle metastasis without inferior vena cava and right atrium involvement is very rare and the prognosis of HCC with RV metastasis is generally poor. The mass in the cardiac chamber may lead to lethal instability of hemodynamics, however, the initial symptom is probably non-specific, which means that diagnosis timely becomes even harder. Case presentation We present a 63-year-old male with isolated metastasis of HCC in the right ventricle which caused inflow obstruction. Moreover, we reviewed a series of studies of isolated metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma between 1980 and 2018, and summarized the relative outcomes. Conclusions Isolated metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma in the right ventricle is extraordinarily rare. It may damage cardiac structure and broke hemodynamic balance. Multimodality imaging plays an important in accurate pre-operation assessment. Nowadays, palliative treatments could relieve fatal symptoms to some degree, however, standard treatment has not been well established.
