Tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma: a rare tumor with a diagnostic dilemma.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare primary tumor of the heart valves. This lesion can occur on any of the valves or endothelial surface of the heart and has been detected by echocardiography, by cardiac catheterization, during open heart operations for other conditions, and at autopsy. Because of the potential for comorbidities, this tumor should be removed. We present the case of an elderly man with a diagnosis of severe mitral valve regurgitation and moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation who was suspected to have a tricuspid valve vegetation. Mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valve repair, and excision of the lesion were performed successfully. A histologic examination of the vegetation confirmed it to be a papillary fibroelastoma. We present this case to emphasize the rarity of this tumor and the importance of a correct diagnosis to avoid delaying its prompt and definitive management.

Fate of Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair.

Authors:

EuroIntervention 2021 Mar 2. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Department of Internal Medicine II, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.

Background: Mitral valve repair may lead to alterations of tricuspid regurgitation (TR).

Aims: We investigated alterations, predictors and prognostic relevance of TR evolution in a large-scale multicentre population of patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) via MitraClip.

Methods: In total, we included 531 TMVR-patients with at least one available follow-up echocardiography. Read More

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Tennova Healthcare, Turkey Creek Medical Center, Knoxville, Tennessee, US.

Objectives: A retrospective case series of a percutaneous approach to debulk tricuspid valve endocarditis (TVE) using an 8 French mechanical aspiration system in patients with a history of intravenous drug use (IVDU) was reported. IVDU associated TVE is increasing in the United States and is associated with high mortality despite early surgical debridement. Patients with advanced disease, shock, and respiratory failure may not be candidates for surgical debridement or replacement. Read More

Heterotopic caval valve implantation for the management of severe tricuspid regurgitation: a case series.

Eur Heart J Case Rep 2021 Jan 28;5(1):ytaa428. Epub 2020 Dec 28.

Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, One, Deaconess Road, Boston, MA 02215, USA.

Background: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a complex condition that can be difficult to treat medically, and often surgical intervention is prohibited due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with this intervention. In patients who have failed maximal medical therapy and have progressive symptoms related to their severe TR, heterotopic caval valve implantation (CAVI) offers potential for symptom relief for these patients.

Case Summary: We present two cases of patients with severe TR with symptoms of heart failure that were refractory to medical therapy. Read More

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa; Heart and Vascular Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pa. Electronic address:

Objective: Pulmonary artery catheterization provides continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters that may aid in the perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, prior data suggest that pulmonary artery catheterization has limited benefit in intensive care and surgical settings. Thus, this study sought to determine the impact of pulmonary artery catheter insertion on short-term postoperative outcomes in a large, contemporaneous cohort of patients undergoing open cardiac surgery compared with standard central venous pressure monitoring.
