چکیده

We report a rare case of a hemodialysis patient with a calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) on both sides of the atrioventricular valve annulus. A 70-year-old female who had received hemodialysis for 23 years because of chronic glomerulonephritis presented to our hospital with acute heart failure. Echocardiography indicated the presence of mobile cardiac masses on the mitral valve and tricuspid valve annulus. We suspected the presence of a cardiac tumor or vegetation. The patient received 3 g/day sulbactam-ampicillin and 60 mg/day gentamicin. Surgery was performed on the 14th day after hospital admission. The patient underwent mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annuloplasty, and tumor resection. Based on the pathological findings, the cardiac tumor was diagnosed as a CAT.

A case of mitral valve replacement with a collar-reinforced prosthetic valve for heavily calcified mitral annulus.

Mitral valve replacement in the presence of extensive calcification of the mitral annulus is a technical challenge. Dense calcification of the annulus can cause a great difficulty in the insertion of a prosthetic valve and later periprosthetic leakage. A radical calcium debridement may cause left circumflex coronary artery injury, atrioventricular rupture, and thromboembolic events. We report a...

Calcified amorphous tumor of the heart with mitral annular calcification: a case report

BACKGROUND Calcified amorphous tumor of the heart is a rare, non-neoplastic cardiac mass characterized by nodular calcium in the background of amorphous degenerating fibrinous material. Clinical diagnosis of calcified amorphous tumor can be difficult, and current single imaging techniques do not specifically differentiate calcified amorphous tumor from other cardiac tumors such as calcified atr...

From Mitral Annular Calcification to Calcified Amorphous Tumor

Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is characterized as a non-neoplastic calcified, cardiac mass. A CAT is sometimes detected adjacent to a mitral annular calcification (MAC), suggesting its association with MAC. A 75-year-old woman with known history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. Echocardiography showed MAC, left atrial enlargement and left ventric...

Developing a Novel Temperature Model in Gas Lifted Wells to Enhance the Gas Lift Design

In the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. The produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. All the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. Also g...
