The presence of a pathologic mass in the right ventricle (RV) may lead to hemodynamic consequences and to a life-threatening incident of pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis of an unstable thrombus in the right heart chamber usually necessitates intensive treatment to dissolve or remove the pathology. We present a report of an unusual complication of severe ketoacidosis: thrombus in the right ventricle, removed from the tricuspid valve (TV) apparatus. A four-year-old boy was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) type I de novo. During hospitalization, a 13.9 × 8.4 mm tumor in the RV was found in a routine cardiac ultrasound. The patient was referred for surgical removal of the floating lesion from the RV. The procedure was performed via midline sternotomy with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and mild hypothermia. Control echocardiography showed complete tumor excision with normal atrioventricular valves and heart function. Surgical removal of the thrombus from the tricuspid valve apparatus was effective, safe, and a definitive therapy for thromboembolic complication of pediatric severe ketoacidosis.<br /><br />

The frequency of coronary artery fistula among all coronary angiography patients is 0.1% to 0.2%; however, involvement of both the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle is a rare clinical entity. A 53-year-old man patient was admitted to our clinic with rarely occurring chest pain, palpitations, and dyspnea. A coronary angiogram showed a fistula between the left main coronary artery and both the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. We performed a ligation of this fistula without cardiopulmonary bypass. Aorta and right ventricle sutures were made, and the proximal and distal portions of the fistula were obliterated with 5-0 Prolene sutures and previously prepared Teflon felt. The patient recovered and was discharged without any complications. The surgical indications for coronary artery fistulas are symptomatic disease, an aneurysmic coronary artery, signs of heart failure, and ischemia. The surgical options in such cases�depending on whether the fistula is complicated or not�are simple ligation or transarterial ligation under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive disease of the pulmonary vasculature, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. Current treatment is aimed at targeting three different pathways: the prostacyclin, endothelin and nitric oxide pathways. These therapies improve functional class, increase exercise capacity and improve haemodynamics. In addition, data from a meta-analysis provide compelling evidence of improved survival. Despite these treatments, the outcome is still grim and the cause of death is inevitable – right ventricular failure. One explanation for this paradox of haemodynamic benefit and still worse outcome is that the right ventricle does not benefit from a modest reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance. This article describes the physiological concepts that might underlie this paradox. Based on these concepts, we argue that not only a significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance, but also a significant reduction in pulmonary artery pressure is required to save the right ventricle. Haemodynamic data from clinical trials hold the promise that these haemodynamic requirements might be met if upfront combination therapy is used.
