“…8 There was modest female preponderance in this population (female, 67% 2,6,7,9 ; male, 33% 5,8 ). Forest et al 8 reported the largest AHL with a maximum diameter of 3 cm. At a maximum diameter of 4 cm, the case described herein represents the largest AHL reported to date.…”

A 40-year-old woman presented with recurrent syncope. She reported multiple (>20) episodes of non-prodromal loss of consciousness, periodically provoked by physical exertion. One episode resulted in a nasal fracture due to the abrupt nature of her syncope. The characterization of each episode was inconsistent with a neurogenic seizure. Other causes of syncope (vasovagal, situational, carotid hypersensitivity, and orthostasis) were also deemed unlikely. On physical examination, a low-pitched, brief adventitious sound was appreciated after each S2 sound in the right lower sternal border. The remainder of the physical examination was unremarkable. Initial workup, including complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, cardiac enzymes, and ECG yielded normal results. The chest radiograph did not show any gross cardiac or pulmonary parenchymal pathologic condition (Fig 1). Telemetry did not demonstrate any malignant arrhythmias, and video-guided EEG did not document any seizure activity.

“…In the majority of them, AHT was accidentally found in the RA mimicking the clinical course of atrial myxoma. [2][3][4][5] There is no uniform theory explaining the incidence of AHT within the heart chambers. Clearly, there has to be a hematogenous spread of hepatic cells with regenerative potential to the heart chambers, and in the absence of trauma, the embryological explanation of this phenomenon is the most attractive.…”

“…A similar approach with the use of DHCA for the resection of AHL has been reported by Forest and colleagues. 4 Use of DHCA seems to be a logical and valuable option providing a blood-free surgical field in the area of the RA-IVC junction, which helps to delineate the entire anatomy of the AHL. On the other hand, femoral cannulation, with the IVC cannula positioned just inferior to the retro-hepatic IVC, may provide sufficient IVC drainage to accomplish AHL resection without DHCA.…”
