Bigeminy and the bifid papillary muscle.

ABSTRACT: Various structural anomalies of the left ventricular papillary muscles have been observed in recent years. Many of these have been linked to electrocardiographic aberrations. Recently two reports have appeared where the base of the posterior papillary muscle was identified as the source of frequent premature ventricular complexes. In some of these patients these frequent premature ventricular complexes have led to left ventricular dysfunction. In this report a newly discovered structural variant of the anterior papillary muscle is described--the bifid papillary muscle. Furthermore, it is proposed that this bifid papillary muscle is the source of frequent ventricular premature complexes, presenting as bigeminy in a patient with normal left ventricular function.

Extremely rare rapid development of a papillary fibroelastoma on the left ventricular anterior papillary muscle.

Project description:Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare, slow-growing cardiac tumor. We encountered an 80-year-old man with PFE accidentally revealed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to evaluate cardiac function before a non-cardiac operation. A 10-mm mass lesion adhered to the anterior papillary muscle of the left ventricle, which had not been detected with TTE performed nine months before. Emergency cardiac surgery to remove the mass was performed, and the mass was diagnosed as a PFE. The PFE grew to 10 mm in a maximum of 9 months; to our knowledge, this is the fastest growth of PFE in the left ventricle reported to date.Learning objectivePapillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare, slow-growing cardiac tumor. The surgical indication of PFE is sometimes controversial. The rapid growth of PFE might be considered as a criterion for surgery because this might result in the rapid progression of symptoms and complications.

Acute severe mitral regurgitation: consideration of papillary muscle architecture.

Project description:We present a case of an individual who presented with acute severe mitral regurgitation in the setting of an inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction. Both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a posteriorly directed eccentric jet of severe mitral regurgitation with flail anterior mitral valve leaflet attached presumably to the anterior papillary muscle. Intraoperative findings demonstrated rupture of the postero-medial papillary muscle attached via chords to the anterior mitral valve leaflet. This case serves to remind us that both the anterior and posterior leaflets of the mitral valve are attached to both papillary muscle heads. The direction and eccentricity of the mitral regurgitant jet on echocardiography helps to locate the leaflet involved, but not necessarily the coexisting papillary muscle pathology.

A 27-Year-Old Woman With Postpartum Papillary Muscle Rupture.

Project description:Postpartum papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is extremely uncommon and tolerated poorly with limited management options other than emergency surgical intervention. This case demonstrates the challenges of postpartum PMR in a young woman with unrecognized vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and highlights the importance of preconception screening of cardiovascular disease.

Papillary muscle intervention vs mitral ring annuloplasty in ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The main pathophysiological factor of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is the outward displacement of the papillary muscles (PMs) leading to leaflet tethering. For this reason, papillary muscle intervention (PMI) in combination with mitral ring annuloplasty (MRA) has recently been introduced into clinical practice to correct this displacement, and to reduce the recurrence of regurgitation. METHODS:A meta-analysis was conducted comparing the outcomes of PMI and MRA performed in combination vs MRA performed alone, in terms of MR recurrence and left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR). A meta-regression was carried out to investigate the impact of the type of PMI procedure on the outcomes. RESULTS:MR recurrence in patients undergoing both PMI and MRA was lower than in those who only had MRA (log incidence rate ratio, -0.66; lower-upper limits, -1.13 to 0.20; I2 ?=?0.0%; p?=?.44; Egger's test: intercept 0.35 [-0.78 to 1.51]; p?=?.42). The group with both PMI and MRA and that with only MRA showed a slightly higher reduction in left ventricular diameters (-5.94%; -8.75% to 3.13%,). However, in both groups, LVRR was <10%. No difference was detected between PM relocation/repositioning and papillary muscle approximation in terms of LVRR (p?=?.33). CONCLUSIONS:Using PMI and MRA together has a lower MR recurrence than using MRA alone. No significant LVRR was observed between the two groups nor between the PMI techniques employed.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair to Treat Postmyocardial Infarction Papillary Muscle Rupture.

Project description:A 75-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department for a late-presenting myocardial infarction. The coronary angiography revealed a thrombotic occlusion of the circumflex artery. He presented a rapid hemodynamic and respiratory deterioration as a result of a severe mitral regurgitation with a flail anterior leaflet due to a partial tear of the medial papillary muscle (PM). Given the patient's comorbidities, a percutaneous mitral valve repair with two-dimensional (2D)/3D transesophageal echocardiography was performed, deploying two MitraClips. MitraClip implantation may be considered in an acute setting of PM tear as an alternative for surgical treatment in selected patients.

Multiple lipomata of the tricuspid valve and papillary muscle: case report.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac lipomas are rare benign primary tumours of the heart. Due to the nature of these tumours, they are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. Whether asymptomatic patients with cardiac lipomas should perform surgery still remains controversial.Case summaryA 34-year-old Asian male who was incidentally found hyperechoic masses in the right ventricle (RV) on the transthoracic echocardiogram by annually routine physical examination was admitted to our cardiology department. His medical history was unremarkable. The repeated transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiogram showed multiple solitary and well-demarcated masses in the RV. On the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, four discrete masses (considering the possibility of it being a lipoma) partially occluding the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) were observed. During the open-heart resection surgery, it was found that the tricuspid valve and papillary muscle were covered by multiple adipose masses in the RV that arose from the interventricular septum and the free wall, resulting in partial RVOT obstruction. These excised masses were histopathologically confirmed as lipomata characterized by the mature adipocytes with entrapped myocardial cells. The patient had no cardiac abnormality in the 1-month follow-up after the surgery.DiscussionThis rare clinical case of multiple lipomata of the tricuspid valve and papillary muscle acknowledges that multimodality imaging is the cornerstone for the assessment and diagnosis. Surgery should be performed in cases of symptomatic or large lipomas as well as when a lipoma is considered to be high risk because of RVOT obstruction.
