A papillary fibroelastoma is a noncancerous primary heart tumor that usually develops on your aortic or mitral valve. Most people need surgery to remove the tumor.

Apr 29, 2022 · About 80% of the time, this tumor grows on heart valves (usually your aortic or mitral valve). Even if you don’t have symptoms, your provider will recommend surgery to reduce your risk of an embolism.

All 5 (45.5%) semilunar valvular lesions were from the aortic valve. One (9.1%) lesion originated from the chorda tendinea of the mitral valve. All leaflet lesions were resected by a simple shave technique, and all the patients recovered favorably. Valvular tumor and tumor-like lesions are rare.

We discuss the pathophysiology of fibroelastomas of the aortic valve and operative approaches to the management of these tumors when they are discovered incidentally. Key words: Aortic valve/pathology/surgery/ultrasonography; cardiac surgical procedures/methods; echocardiography, transesophageal; fibroma/complications/pathology/surgery ...

This is the first study to describe PFE growth rate. Major findings were: 1) PFE grow very slowly; 2) there were no PFE characteristics that predicted an increased rate of PFE growth; and 3) growth rate was not associated with embolic potential.

Aortic valve disease is a type of heart valve disease. In this condition, the valve between the lower left heart chamber and the body's main artery doesn't work properly. The aortic valve helps keep blood flowing in the correct direction through the heart.

Oct 17, 2010 · We herein, present a 50-year-old female patient with PFE arising from the endocardium of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve that presented with recurrent angina-like chest pain and successfully managed with valve-sparing resection of the tumor on cardiopulmonary bypass.

This study aimed to identify determinants of aortic growth rate in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. We hypothesised that (1) BAV patients with repaired coarctation (CoA) exhibit decreased aortic growth rate, (2) moderate/severe re-coarctation ...

May 3, 2022 · Papillary fibroelastomas were located most commonly on the aortic valve and least commonly in the right side of the heart. For valvular papillary fibroelastoma resected from a normal valve, valve shave was sufficient in 96% (196/205).

Aug 2, 2023 · Despite gaining widespread acceptance and approval for use in patients with high, moderate, and low surgical risk, the increasing use of TAVR has raised concerns about potential short- and long-term complications.
