Key result
Complete surgical resection of a large, obstructive right cardiac hemangioma in a 79-year-old male resulted in a favorable 12-month outcome with no recurrence or heart dysfunction.
Why the study?
Cardiac hemangioma is a rare benign primary tumor, and the authors aimed to report a case with relevant dimensions in a rare tricuspid valve location presenting with acute onset and advanced symptoms.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Complete surgical resection of a large, obstructive right cardiac hemangioma can be successfully performed with favorable mid-term outcomes even in elderly patients presenting with acute right heart failure.
Supports feasibility of complete resection for symptomatic right cardiac hemangioma; leaves open standardized management guidelines.
Cardiac hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular primary tumor. Clinical presentation is either asymptomatic or with symptoms due to its location and spatial interaction with adjacent structures. The authors present a case of right cardiac hemangioma whose clinical diagnosis was triggered by symptoms of anasarca status, hepatic damage with ascites, pleural effusion and right heart failure. The 79 years-old patient has been treated with complete resection of the tumor by means of cardiopulmonary bypass, without complications. The mid-term outcome (12 months) was favorable. The aim of this study is to report a case of cardiac hemangioma with relevant dimensions, in a rare location (tricuspid valve) with acute onset and interesting aspects of clinical presentation.

Rattenni et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Cardiac hemangioma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Clinical outcome at 12 months. Complete surgical resection of a large, obstructive right cardiac hemangioma in a 79-year-old male resulted in a favorable 12-month outcome with no recurrence or heart dysfunction.
