Amongst the benign cardiac tumors atrial Myxomas are commonest.  Tricuspid valve attachment is an uncommon site for cardiac Myxoma. We present a case of an 18 years old girl who presented to us with history of shortness of breath, abdominal distension, leg swelling, palpitations and dizziness for two months. On Echocardiography there was a large pedunculated mass attached to tricuspid valve. She underwent surgical excision of the mass. Biopsy confirmed the Myxoma. In conclusion, Myxoma originating from tricuspid valve are rare tumours which can cause tricuspid valve obstruction and right heart failure symptoms due to their location. In these cases shortness of breath, embolisation and symptoms of venous congestion are commonly observed. Key Words: Case report, Myxoma, right heart, cardiac CT, tricuspid valve. Continuous...

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.

Cardiac Myxomas

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors and are typically attached to the interatrial septum. Left ventricular myxomas are exceedingly rare and presentation in children is all the more uncommon. We report a case of left ventricular myxoma with very atypical cystic appearance raising an initial suspicion of a hydatid cyst. Subsequently, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was done, which ruled out the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Complete surgical excision was done through transaortic and transmitral route. Histopathological examination revealed it to be a cardiac myxoma with vascular proliferation, which on echocardiography had appeared as a polycystic lesion. This is a very unusual histopathological presentation of cardiac myxoma.

Vv Ecmo

A 28-year-old man presented in extremis after a motorcycle crash. Following traumatic pneumonectomy, he developed right heart failure and was placed on veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) only to transition to veno-arteriovenous (VAV) ECMO due to persistent hypoxemia. Resulting flow limitation caused distal ischemia of his left leg, requiring thrombectomy and fasciotomy. Potential loss of limb necessitated transitioning to veno-venous (VV) ECMO from which he was successfully decannulated thereafter. ECMO can bridge recovery following the most dire injuries, and hybrid strategies can ameliorate post-operative complications; however, ECMO itself carries significant risks that must be weighed against intended benefit.
