Abstract Background Cardiac hemangiomas are rare cardiac neoplasia usually diagnosed in autopsies, from being asymptomatic to debuting with sudden death. The largest hemangioma published in the literature is of 130 mm size, we present the following case of a successful cardiac hemangioma excision of 280 × 35 mm in size, diagnosed due to recurrent cardiac symptoms. Case presentation A 48-year-old female patient, Jehovah’s Witness, with no previous diagnoses, is admitted due to recurrent syncopal episodes in the previous months. A transthoracic echocardiogram diagnosed a tumor in the right atrium and inferior vena cava producing a diastolic right ventricular, with preservation of the left ventricular ejection fraction at 55%. Given the high mortality risk, a surgical intervention was performed immediately. Successful excision was completed confirming a 280 × 35 mm mass without any complications, consistent with hemangioma on histopathology. Postoperative recovery showed no recurrence or complications. Conclusions Cardiac hemangiomas are rare and its clinical course can be varied from patient to patient. We present excision of a large cardiac mass with a high mortality risk due to its size and the patient’s spiritual beliefs.

Asymptomatic 17-years-old boy with a suspicion of the heart tumor was admitted to the Cardiology Department for further investigation. Due to the murmur over the heart echocardiography was performed revealing a bright mass near the left ventricular apex. He was in a good physical condition, no symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, syncope, palpitations were reported. On physical examination diminished heart sounds and systolic murmur 2-3/6 in the Levin’s scale over the heart were found. Laboratory data including troponin T, CK, CK-MB, NSE, urea acid, marker were within normal limits. On ECG abnormalities of the repolarization were recorded (ST segment depression and T waves inversion in the II, III, aVF leads). Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a 4.7 x 5.8 cm tumor within the postero-lateral wall of the left ventricle, without left ventricular inflow nor outflow obstruction. Based on cardiac magnetic resonance hemangioma supplied from the right coronary artery was suspected. Cardiac catheterization was performed, the left ventricular mass with supply from vascular network of the right coronary artery was confirmed. No abnormalities of the central nervous system in magnetic resonance were found. Full-body positron emission tomography showed cardiac mass without any evidence of extra-cardiac fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease. Cardiac hemangioma was recognized. Pharmacological treatment with propranolol was introduced without any impact on the tumor size during 6 months follow-up.

A white boy six months of age was hospitalized with respiratory distress and congestive heart failure. Control of the heart failure was achieved but marked cardiomegaly, moderate hepatomegaly, and minimal muscular weakness persisted.At birth a chest x-ray had been taken because of rapid breathing and jaundice and showed the heart to be of normal size. Clinical studies included: EKG which showed biventricular hypertrophy, needle liver biopsy which showed toxic hepatitis, and cardiac catheterization which showed no obstruction to left ventricular outflow. Liver and muscle biopsies revealed no biochemical or histological evidence of type II glycogexiosis (Pompe's disease). At thoracotomy, 14 milligrams of left ventricular muscle were removed. Total phosphorylase activity in the biopsy specimen was normal by biochemical analysis as was the degree of phosphorylase activation. By light microscopy, vacuoles and fine granules were seen in practically all myocardial fibers. The fibers were not hypertrophic. The endocardium was not thickened excluding endocardial fibroelastosis. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of idiopathic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy was made.

The earliest ultrastructural manifestation of hypoxic cell injury is the presence of intracellular edema. Does this intracellular edema affect the ability to cryopreserve intact myocardium? To answer this guestion, a model for anoxia induced intracellular edema (IE) was designed based on clinical intraoperative myocardial preservation protocol. The aortas of 250 gm male Sprague-Dawley rats were cannulated and a retrograde flush of Plegisol at 8°C was infused over 90 sec. The hearts were excised and placed in a 28°C bath of Lactated Ringers for 1 h. The left ventricular free wall was then sliced and the myocardium was slam frozen. Control rats (C) were anesthetized, the hearts approached by median sternotomy, and the left ventricular free wall frozen in situ immediately after slicing. The slam frozen samples were obtained utilizing the DDK PS1000, which was precooled to -185°C in liguid nitrogen. The tissue was in contact with the metal mirror for a dwell time of 20 sec, and stored in liguid nitrogen until freeze dry processing (Lightfoot, 1990).

Preliminary Study

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
