Cardiac myxomas are rare primary tumors with varied clinical presentations that may pose a diagnostic challenge. Here, we describe the case of a 21-year-old man with multiple cavitating lung lesions with aspergillosis and underlying right atrial myxoma, who presented with hemoptysis and weight loss. He was successfully treated with right atrial myxoma resection and antifungal agents, with no recurrence or complications after one year of follow-up.
Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) is one of the most advanced, challenging and a complex branch of invasive cardiology. It involves placement of large sized multipolar catheters in various chambers of the heart. They are used to map and also to ablate the culprit focus of arrhythmia generation. Supraventricular arrhythmias are a nuisance as the pharmacological treatment is only suppressive. When done by experts, the procedure can be curative. During the month of October 03, twelve cases were selected for EPS.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment modality. It can be useful in a select group of patients with solitary liver metastasis of less than 3 cm size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
