Key result
Recanalization plus MCS successfully bridges cardiogenic shock from papillary fibroelastoma to surgery.
Why the study?
Papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve is a rare cause of myocardial ischaemia requiring advanced combined interventional and surgical treatment strategies.
Population
56-year-old female patient with acute coronary syndrome and intermittent left main coronary artery obstruction
Design

May inform bridging strategies in rare tumor shock; hypothesis-generating from single case, needs validation.

Huenges et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial ischaemia from papillary fibroelastoma (n=1). Combined interventional recanalization, mechanical circulatory support, and surgical tumor extraction was evaluated on Patient survival and discharge. A combined approach of interventional recanalization and mechanical circulatory support successfully bridged a patient with cardiogenic shock from a papillary fibroelastoma to definitive surgical tumor extraction.
