“…13 Bidirectional cavopulmonary connection has been associated with subtotal resection of RV fibroma to unload the RV. 14 In the setting of huge, unresectable mass, infiltrating cardiac walls transplantation may be the only therapeutic option. 15 Rhabdomyoma is the most common intracardiac tumor diagnosed in infancy.…”

“…Therapy and Prognosis.-The treatment of symptomatic patients with cardiac fibroma is surgical excision, which usually yields satisfactory results. Patients with very extensive tumors that are not entirely resectable can benefit from partial tumor excision (40,57,61). The surgical outcome is less favorable in patients with large masses, severe heart failure at initial presentation, or recurrent arrhythmias in the neonatal period or early infancy (58).…”

Primary cardiac and pericardial neoplasms are rare lesions and include both benign and malignant histologic types. Myxoma is the most frequent primary cardiac neoplasm, but other benign tumors include papillary fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, hemangioma, lipoma, and paraganglioma. Cardiac sarcoma represents the second most common primary cardiac neoplasm. Lymphoma can also affect the heart primarily. Pericardial tumors that affect the heart include benign teratomas and malignant mesotheliomas. Patients affected with cardiac or pericardial neoplasms often present with cardiovascular compromise or embolic phenomena and exhibit cardiomegaly at chest radiography. Benign cardiac tumors typically manifest as intracavitary, mural, or epicardial focal masses, whereas malignant tumors demonstrate invasive features and may involve the heart diffusely. Benign lesions can usually be successfully excised, but patients with malignant lesions have an extremely poor prognosis.

“…1 However, because conventional TAR including the use of a short elephant trunk 2,3 requires careful dissection of the surrounding tissue and elaborate distal anastomosis at the site of dissection and occasionally at the site of the aneurysm, there could be some cases in which bleeding is uncontrollable or circulatory arrest time is prolonged. To reduce such problems, we applied TAR with distal anastomosis just proximal to the innominate artery using a long elephant trunk (LET) technique, which we 4,5 have introduced for true arch aneurysms and chronic aortic dissections.…”

with what appeared to be simpler device positioning and implantation relative to the transfemoral approach. A patent left internal thoracic artery graft is probably a contraindication to a left axillary approach. The potential to compromise innominate artery flow is a relative contraindication to the right axillary approach.The trans-axillary artery approach offers an additional tool in the new armamentarium for the treatment of aortic stenosis in patients who are candidates for TAVI but who have significant respiratory dysfunction and problematic iliofemoral access precluding the other available techniques. We also believe that it offers some advantages relative to the transfemoral and transapical approaches and is worthy of evaluation in a broader patient population as an alternative access route.
