Abstract

Objective

Cardiac masses comprise a category that includes benign, malignant, and nontumoral mass lesions. The present study aims to share the findings relating to cardiac masses observed at our tertiary cardiology hospital in Turkey.

Methods

The records of patients who presented with cardiac masses and underwent surgery at our institute between 2006 and 2015, and whose tissue samples were sent to a pathology laboratory, were retrospectively reviewed in a consecutive manner.

Results

The study included 228 patients with an average age of 52.5 ± 17.3 years. Of the study’s subjects, 95 (41.7%) were male and 133 (58.3%) female. The most commonly observed mass was myxoma in 68 patients (29.8%), of whom 20 (29.4%) were male and 48 (70.6%) female. The second most frequently detected mass was pannus, with 38 cases (16.7%) – 10 (26.3%) in males and 28 (73.7%) in females. The third most common cardiac mass was thrombus (16.2%), with 18 cases of thrombi in men (48.6%) and 19 (51.4%) in women.

Conclusion

The most commonly observed cardiac mass was myxoma and most were localized in the left atrium. The second most frequently detected mass was pannus, which was mostly found on mitral mechanical prosthetic valves. Thrombi were the third most prevalent mass and were commonly localized in the right atrium.

Das Risiko für Vorhofflimmern in der Bevölkerung steigt

02.05.2024 Vorhofflimmern Nachrichten

Das Risiko, im Lauf des Lebens an Vorhofflimmern zu erkranken, ist in den vergangenen 20 Jahren gestiegen: Laut dänischen Zahlen wird es drei von zehn Personen treffen. Das hat Folgen weit über die Schlaganfallgefährdung hinaus.

VHF-Ablation nützt wohl nur bei reduzierter Auswurfleistung

02.05.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Ob die Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern bei Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz die Komplikationsraten senkt, scheint davon abzuhängen, ob die Auswurfleistung erhalten ist oder nicht. Das legen die Ergebnisse einer Metaanalyse nahe.

Weniger Extremitätenischämien mit dualer Plättchenhemmung

02.05.2024 Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer Nachrichten

Eine Behandlung mit Ticagrelor zusätzlich zu ASS kann das Risiko für Revaskularisierungen und Amputationen von Extremitäten bei Diabetikern mit stabiler KHK deutlich reduzieren, vor allem für solche mit PAVK. Dafür spricht eine Auswertung der Interventionsstudie THEMIS.
