AW: [HSF] aortic cusp mass

[Dr. Roberto Battellini]

Ani,
The same happens in Germany.
Our case, 71 year old man had repeated syncopes. Both TTE and TEE showed the
mass, with the tendency to prolapse into the left coronary ostium. The tumor
was resected dissecting it from the valve.
For the ones interested, our resident Thorsten Bossert published the case in
J Heart Valve Dis Vol 9 Nr. 6 November 2000, there is plenty of
bibliography.

What business did an asymptomatic 82 year old have going near an
echocardiogram machine? Only in America I suppose. The poor sleeping dog has
probably been asleep for years if not decades and now is awake and has woken
up too all those around this poor lady. Another reminder to us not to run
tests in asymptomatic patients except one is ready to deal with whatever one
finds.

have an 82 year old woman asymptomatic with a 2cm smooth polypoid mass based
on a tricuspid leaflet of the aortic valve. My partner recently did an
resection for a fibroelastoma of the same which there are a few reported
cases. Anyone seen this or a complication of this? It does not look or move
like a vegetation.> > tea> _______________________________________________>
