Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma as a cause of acute coronary syndrome

Papillary fibroelastomas are the most common tumors of the heart valves. Among all primary heart tumors, the incidence of papillary fibroelastoma is about 15 %. The clinical picture is often asymptomatic, however, it can be complicated by a transient ischemic attack, acute cerebrovascular accident, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and etc. The article presents a clinical case of a 55-year-old female patient with papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve, which caused angina attacks and was a probable cause of several myocardial infarctions. Complex radiation diagnostics using aortic computed tomography with ECG synchronization, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography made it possible to visualize a formation in the commissure area between the right coronary and non-coronary aortic valve flaps as the cause of the patient’s clinical manifestations. Comprehensive diagnostics made it possible to successfully perform emergency surgical treatment.
