| Abstract [eng] |
Background: Intracardiac blood cysts are generally observed in infants and regress spontaneously with time. Blood cysts are mainly located on the left side of the heart and atrioventricular valves. These findings are extremely rare in older children and adults. We report a rare case of blood cyst in the right atrium of an adult patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Case presentation: We present a case of a 45-year-old female patient with a cardiac blood cyst in the right atrium and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Despite the successful percutaneous alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, the patient died before scheduled ICD implantation. Conclusion: We reported a rare case of a 45-year-old female patient with a cardiac blood cyst in the right atrium and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-ever case report in the literature of blood cyst and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Characterisation of an atrial blood cyst using multimodality imaging is recommended. There is no consensus on the optimal management of cardiac blood cysts. Cardiac blood cysts are rarely detected preoperatively and should be included in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses. |
