Uncommon cause of obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract by a metastasis of adenocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac metastases are rare diagnoses among cardiac disorders. This case demonstrates a unique presence of an obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract caused by the metastasis of a renal carcinoma. Adequate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were lifesaving in this potentially fatal diagnosis.

Flail Subaortic Membrane Mimicking Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
A subaortic membrane is an uncommon cause for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction would mask the presence of the subaortic membrane on transthoracic echocardiography and cause a false diagnosis. We report a patient with subaortic stenosis due to flail subaortic membrane misdiagnosed as obstructive hypert...
متن کاملA Case Report of left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) Tumor in a 49 old day infant
Rhabdomyomata are probably the most common tumors that occur very rarely during infancy. In this paper, we report the case of a 49-day-old infant who was diagnosed by echocardiography examination with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction caused by rhabdomyoma. The infant underwent surgical approach, and her mass was shaved. Finally, she was discharged from hospital in good gener...
متن کاملAccessory mitral valve without left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in an adult.
Accessory mitral valve is a rare congenital abnormality and an unusual cause of subvalvular obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. Accessory mitral valves are usually detected in children due to symptomatic obstruction; isolated nonobstructive accessory mitral valve is rarely seen in adults. We describe the echocardiographic diagnosis of accessory mitral valve as an isolated congeni...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma Causing Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Most cases of cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involve the vena cava or right atrium. Left ventricular metastases from RCC without involving the vena cava or right atrium are extremely rare. Herein we report a case of RCC with left ventricular metastasis causing left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOT).
متن کاملDynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: underestimated cause of hypotension and hemodynamic instability
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, which is typically associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is the third most frequent cause of unexplained hypotension. This underestimated problem may temporarily accompany various diseases (it is found in even <1% of patients with no tangible cardiac disease) and clinical situations (hypovolemia, general anesthesia). It is currently assumed tha...
