Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

A rare giant cardiac lymphaticovenous malformation was resected from a 38-year-old female. This congenital vascular anomaly caused shortness of breath due to its large size and location.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Vascular Surgery
Pathology

Background:

Cardiac vascular lesions are uncommon and infrequently documented.
Lymphaticovenous malformations (LVMs) are congenital anomalies resulting from developmental errors in venolymphatic pathways.

Observation:

A 38-year-old female presented with a giant cardiac lymphaticovenous malformation originating from the atrioventricular groove.
The mass measured 6.0 cm x 10.4 cm and caused exertional dyspnea.
The lesion was intimately associated with the coronary sinus.

Findings:

Histological examination revealed dilated lymphatic and vascular channels within a fatty stroma.
The giant cardiac LVM was successfully resected.
No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.

Keywords:

Cardiac Cardiac tumours Coronary sinus Lymphatic Lymphaticovenous Malformation Tumour Vascular

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare cardiac vascular tumors.
Surgical resection is a viable treatment option for symptomatic cardiac LVMs.
Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of cardiac LVMs is warranted.
