  • hydatid cyst of the heart located in the Interventricular Septum
    Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2000
    Co-Authors: S Kammoun, I Frikha, K Fourati, S Fendri, S Benyoussef, Y Sahnoun, M Daoud, J G Dumesnil
    Abstract:

    : Cardiac hydatosis is a rare condition, and the localization of a hydatid cyst within the Interventricular Septum is exceptional. A 61-year-old man found to have a hydatid cyst of the Interventricular Septum is reported. Presenting manifestations were congestive heart failure and signs suggestive of an aortic valvulopathy. Diagnosis was made by Doppler echocardiography and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The cyst was approached surgically by right ventriculotomy. Despite a technically successful intervention without rupture of the cyst or appearance of a conduction delay, the patient died on the 20th postoperative day because of acute respiratory distress syndrome complicating infectious pneumonia.

  • aneurysm of sinus of valsalva dissecting into Interventricular Septum

    Co-Authors: Shiv Kumar Choudhary, Anil Bhan, S C B Reddy, Rajesh Sharma, Vivek Murari, Balram Airan, Arkalgud Sampath Kumar, Panangipalli Venugopal
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background . Dissection of Interventricular Septum by aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare. We present our experience with the management of 10 patients with this condition. Methods . Ten patients with aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva dissecting into the Interventricular Septum were managed at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, between May 1987 and September 1996. Conduction abnormalities and aortic insufficiency dominated the clinical picture. Eight patients underwent surgical repair. Two patients refused operation, and only permanent pacemaker implantation was done for complete heart block in both these patients. Results . There was no hospital mortality. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 9 years. There was one late death due to carcinoma of the larynx, and 1 patient required reoperation for persistent aortic insufficiency. All other patients who underwent operation are in New York Heart Association functional class I. Conclusions . We recommend surgical repair of this condition to deal with aortic regurgitation and to avoid the potential risk of rupture, thromboembolism, and infective endocarditis. However, surgical repair offers no guarantee against arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities.
