“…Adjuvant radiotherapy can be used, though radiotherapy and chemotherapy tend to have little effect on the patient’s survival. Higher survival rates have been seen in cases with small tumour sizes (<5 cm), complete excision and neoadjuvant therapy, early diagnosis and low-grade characteristics of the tumour [ 28 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Regarding the surgical approach, intracardiac masses have been traditionally treated through median sternotomy for better exposure and the larger surgical field.…”

A Rare Case of Left Ventricular Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour—Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is an aggressive and uncommon cancer developing in the peripheral nerve sheath. Primary cardiac MPNST is an extremely rare finding, with no specific imaging and clinical characteristics. Only a handful of cases have been reported in the literature; thus, little is still known about them. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) are important means of assessing cardiac morphology and function. The preferred course of treatment for this pathology is by full surgical resection of the tumour, with negative (clear) margins, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with no significant cardiovascular symptoms who was incidentally diagnosed during routine transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with a cardiac mass located in the left ventricle.

“…The diagnosis of this congenital pathology is usually established on routine echocardiography, as symptoms commonly appear after several years or decades of left AV valve regurgitation [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Dyspnea, fatigue, and recurrent respiratory tract infections are the most common clinical symptoms [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

The association of an ostium primum-type defect with a cleft anterior mitral valve is known in the medical literature as the partial form of an atrioventricular canal. We present a case report about a 20-year-old woman with minimal symptomatology that discovered her pathology on routine echocardiography. Today, surgical operation remains the gold standard in such pathologies, especially mandatory when there is important valvular regurgitation and left-to-right shunt. Currently living in the era of fast and good cosmetic outcomes, minimally invasive and endovascular approaches should be developed and more often practiced. This scientific presentation is the first step in showing our department steps in performing minimally invasive surgeries as a routine.

“…The most common atrial septal defects are the ostium secundum type (75–80%), followed by ostium primum (15%). The sinus venosus atrial septal defects (SV-ASD), defined as a communication in the posterior part of the interatrial septum, account for about 5 to 10% of atrial septal defects [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Approximately 90% of SV-ASDs are associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) and are traditionally repaired through a full sternotomy [ 5 ].…”

The atrial septal defect is, after bicuspid aortic valve disease, the most common congenital cardiac disease present in the adult population. The most common atrial septal defects are the ostium secundum type (75–80%), followed by the ostium primum type (15%). The sinus venosus atrial septal defects (SV-ASD), defined as a communication in the posterior part of the interatrial septum, account for about 5 to 10% of atrial septal defects. Approximately 90% of SV-ASDs are associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD). The minimally invasive approach has gained ground in the treatment of ASDs, especially those of the ostium secundum type. The sinus venosus type is a relatively uncommon form of ASD, which, when associated with a PAPVD, is considered a complex cardiac malformation, and is usually treated in a classical manner, through median sternotomy. We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman diagnosed in adolescence with SV-ASD with PAPVD, who successfully underwent minimally invasive repair with fresh autologous pericardial patch reconstruction through an anterolateral mini-thoracotomy incision. The patient presented with shortness of breath and fatigue after heavy exertions, episodes of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, palpitations during effort and at rest, and had a history of syncope dating from 17 years previously. Echocardiography revealed an SV-ASD with PAPVD in the right atrium and the intraoperative examination discovered that both right pulmonary veins were draining into the superior vena cava.
