Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a case of myocardial infarction secondary to coronary embolization of a papillary fibroelastoma of the anterior mitral leaflet. The patient underwent successful operation. The English literature describes only 9 other surgically excised papillary fibroelastomas of the mitral valve. In 5 of these cases, the patient presented with signs of cerebral or coronary embolization. Our case further confirms that intracardiac papillary fibroelastomas pose a major threat of systemic embolization and that the clinician should be alert to the possibility of this condition, particularly in young patients who present with myocardial infarction or other conditions that could have arisen from systemic embolization. |
