Left Atrium Papillary Fibroelastomas: A Cause of Cerebral Emboli
Papillary fibroelastomas are cardiac benign tumours. Among the benign cardiac tumor, papillary fibroelastomas are reported second after myxomas. Most often diagnosed incidentally, papillary fibroelastomas may embolize to cerebral circulation. Valvular locations are predominant; location in left atrium is rare. In this paper, we present a case of papillary fibroelastoma located in left atrium wi...
متن کاملMultiple Papillary Fibroelastomas and Thrombus in the Left Heart
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPF) are benign cardiac tumors and usually discovered incidentally during echocardiography. This report describes the case of a 68-year-old man, referred to cardiology for multiple masses of the left ventricle and left atrium. The transthoracic echocardiography revealed multiple oscillating masses in the left ventricle and aortic valve, non-mobile mass in the l...
متن کاملClinical and Echocardiographic Characteristics of Papillary Fibroelastomas
Background—Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a primary cardiac neoplasm that is increasingly detected by echocardiography. The clinical manifestations of this entity are not well described. Methods and Results—In a 16-year period, we identified patients with CPF from our pathology and echocardiography databases. A total of 162 patients had pathologically confirmed CPF. Echocardiography w...
متن کاملEmbolic stroke from cardiac papillary fibroelastomas.
We describe two patients with cerebral emboli originating from a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma and compared them with six patients reported in the literature. Surgical excision was curative in both of our patients. The surface topography of the tumor, as visualized by scanning electron microscopy, is described.
متن کاملCerebral emboli during left heart catheterization may cause acute brain injury.
AIMS Left heart catheterization carries a risk for cerebral complications. The aims of this prospective study were to determine the frequency and composition of catheterization-related cerebral microemboli and to detect cerebral morphological changes and acute cognitive impairment due to catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-seven unselected patients undergoing elective left heart cathet...
