Primary heart neoplasms are rare occurring with an estimated incidence of 0.0017-0.19%. Myxoma is the most prevalent primary tumor. The right atrium unusual localization, only in 15-20% myxoma cases. We report a case massive atrial causing tricuspid valve obstruction and presenting as syncope exertional dyspnea. This illustrates influence myxoma's size, position mobility well patient's body posture respiration to development signs symptoms. Three-dimensional echocardiography proved useful...
Candida endocarditis is a rare infection associated with high mortality and morbidity. There are still some controversies about treatment, especially the treatment duration. We report case of parapsilosis that presented as lower limb ischemia. The patient was surgically treated cryopreserved homograft aortic replacement. used intravenous fluconazole 800 mg initial followed 12 months 400 per os. outcome good.
Background Covid-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. Responses to this crisis integrated resource allocation for increased amount of infected patients while maintaining an adequate response other severe and life-threatening diseases. Though cardiothoracic are at high risk illness, postponing surgeries would translate mortality morbidity. We reviewed our practice during initial time pandemic, with emphasis safety protocols. Methods From 15 May...
The availability of population-based epidemiological data on the incident risk stroke is very scarce in Argentina and other Latin American countries. In response to priorities established by World Health Organization United Nations, PREVISTA was envisaged as a program determine first-ever recurrent transient ischemic attack incidence mortality Tandil, Buenos Aires, Argentina. study will be conducted according Standardized Tools for Stroke Surveillance (STEPS Stroke) methodology enroll all...
Fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis is an extremely severe form of infective endocarditis, with poor prognosis and high mortality despite treatment. Candida albicans the most common etiological agent for this rare but increasingly frequent condition. We present a case fungal due to C. following aortic pulmonary replacement in 38-year-old woman history surgically corrected tetralogy Fallot, prior acute renal failure need catheter-based hemodialysis. Antifungal therapy liposomal amphotericin...
A origem anómala das artérias coronárias é um achado pouco comum e que pode constituir desafio diagnóstico. Apresenta-se o caso clínico de uma doente com dor torácica recorrente durante esforço, admitida síndrome coronária aguda cuja coronariografia não revelou lesões epicárdicas. Foi constatada da direita na parede ântero-lateral esquerda aorta, acima dos seios Valsalva, revelando a dessa artéria potencial compressão pela pulmonar, foi confirmado por angio-TC. submetida revascularização...
Purposes: Assess the contribution of demographic, clinical, biochemical parameters and co morbidities to cognitive impairment in heart failure weight mortality rates at 3 12 months follow-up.
Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are uncommon and can present a diagnostic challenge. The authors case patient with recurrent chest pain during exertion admitted for acute syndrome. Coronary angiography revealed no lesions but showed that right artery originated from anterolateral aortic wall, above sinuses Valsalva, leading to suspicion compression by pulmonary artery, confirmed CT angiography. underwent surgical revascularization good result. highlight need consider an...
Patients with anomalous coronary arteries arising from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ACAOS), left artery (LCA) right or (RCA) an interarterial course, may present complete absence symptoms to sudden cardiac death. Although there are guidelines on indications for surgery, controversy remains. A retrospective review was performed all adult patients diagnosed ACAOS in our hospital between 2007 and 2016. Demographic, clinical, perioperative follow-up data were collected clinical records...
We present a rare case of levoatrial cardinal vein identified during the work-up patient with coarctation aorta. Early diagnosis and repair in neonatal period prevented future manifestations left-to-right shunt need for reoperations, contrast later-age presentation this congenital anomaly. An integrative approach was crucial prompt detection, intraoperative confirmation complete one-stage repair. Os autores apresentam um caso raro de diagnóstico uma veia levoatriocardinal identificada na...

Abnormal distribution may put coronary arteries at risk of damage during valvular surgery, especially if it is not identified a preoperative examination. In this case report, we describe an approach to anomalous right artery aortic valve replacement.
