AN UNUSUAL CASE OF A LESION OF THE RIGHT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART WITH A MALIGNANT TUMOR
Keywords:
malignant tumors of the heart, metastasis, invasion, surgical treatment, correction of valvular lesions.Abstract
Summary. In the SI «M.M. Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine» since 1970 surgical treatment of 62 patients with various types and
localization of malignant heart tumors was performed,
which amounted to 6.8% of 912 patients with cardiac tumors. This message presents the unusual case of
secondary lesion of right ventricular with a malignant neoplasm (metastasis of renal cell carcinoma),
the character and size of which were finally recognized during the operation, as well as the peculiarities of surgical treatment of such lesion. Malignant
tumors of the heart can affect not only its walls, but
also spread to its valve structures, which requires correction of valvular lesions. It is impossible to exclude
the presence of thrombus in the chambers of the heart,
considering the violation of hemodynamics associated with the presence of tumors.
