Objectives: In this single-center study we reviewed our experience with a significant number of cardiac myxoma cases occurring over the past two decades. Patients and methods: Cardiac myxomas represented 86% all surgically treated tumors at center. Specifically, there were 49 consecutive patients, each least one myxoma. A detailed clinical, immunological, echocardiographic long-term examination 37 patients revealed recurrent Results: Most originated from left atrium (87.7%), but also much...
Kawasaki disease (KD) without affection of the coronary artery system is rare. Optic nerve pathology together with KD has not been described earlier. We present one case in a 12-year-old girl predominantly prolonged cholestasis, and second multiple recurrent 9-year-old boy hepatomegaly ischemic optic neuropathy. The was involved either case. warrants rapid diagnosis immediate specific treatment order to prevent high risk aneurysm stenosis.
Cardiac synovial sarcoma of the heart is a rare, aggressive mesenchymal tumor with poor prognosis, since complete resection seldom feasible.A 23-year-old man was referred in cardiogenic shock. Emergency computed tomography (CT) revealed large obstruction right atrium (RA) and prolapse into ventricle (RV). Resection pericardial patch plasty were performed. Histology confirmed G-3 spindle-cell sarcoma. At 21 months postoperatively, CT cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) angiography showed emerging...
The aim of this single-center combined prospective/retrospective cohort study was to analyze Gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) and MRV (MR venography) for the diagnosis pulmonary artery embolism deep venous thrombosis. gold standard methods result in major exposure radiation a high amount nephrotoxic iodinated contrast media. This is first larger contrast-enhanced MR imaging acute chronic thromboembolic disease various stages.We prospectively examined 88 patients...
