Valve Sparing Surgery for Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Aortic Valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a rare benign tumor that involves the heart valves and may cause thromboembolism or arrhythmia. The case is presented of an asymptomatic, 60-year-old woman in whom a fibroelastoma was localized on the ventricular aspect of the non-coronary leaflet of the aortic valve. The patient had only palpitation of the heart, and the tumor was accidentally found during transthoracic echocardiography. The patient underwent immediate surgical intervention. The tumor was removed without destruction of the valve. The postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up echocardiography 4 years after the operation showed no recurrence of the tumor. Due to the high incidence of embolism and low risk of recurrence, the tumor must be surgically removed by simple excision immediately after a diagnosis is confirmed.

Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...

Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are unusual, frond-like growths typically found on cardiac valves, diagnosed incidentally on autopsy or cardiac surgery, but rarely during life. We report a rare case of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma detected by transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by histologic study.

In 67-year-old woman without any cardiac or neurologic symptoms, a transesophageal echocardiogram showed a rounded mass attached to the non-coronary cusp of the aortic valve (Video 1). We excised the tumor with preservation of the valve (Fig. 1). Gross examination (Fig. 2) and light microscopy confirmed the diagnosis of papillary fibroelastoma. Fig. 1. Intraoperative gross appearance of the pap...

With the exception of myxomas, primary tumors of the heart are very rare. We present here our experience with papillary fibroelastoma in the aortic valve. We could not preserve the aortic valve because of the wide attachment of the tumor to the valve and aortic regurgitation.

A 69-year-old man with a medical history of neurofibromatosis was transferred to our hospital for the treatment of an aortic valve mass. His workup identified an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma based on the absence of signs of infection, thrombus in the left atrium, and valvular destruction or abnormal valvular function. A tumor was excised under cardiopulmonary bypass. The pathology of th...
