Intraoperative urothelial carcinoma tumor thrombus embolization to the heart: a case report.
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) rarely presents with an inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus. Herein, we report the case of a patient with UC in whom the thrombus embolized to the right atrium during resection. Intraoperative echocardiography identified the large embolus measuring greater than 4 cm and prolapsing through the tricuspid valve. The tumor thrombus was removed via sternotomy. This case is significant for the following learning points: 1) tumor thrombus should be managed with care during removal as it can embolize; 2) intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is vital in these cases; and 3) a multidisciplinary approach including cardiac surgery is imperative to ensure optimal outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
