Obstruction of right ventricular outflow tract by solitary ovarian metastasis
British Heart Journal
|June 1, 1978
Abstract:
We report a case in whom there was right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by a solitary metastatic deposit from an ovarian primary. The patient presented with signs of right ventricular overload and the outflow tract obstruction was recognised at cardiac catheterisation, but the final diagnosis was only revealed at necropsy.

Ovaries
The ovaries are roughly the size of almonds and measure approximately 2 to 3 centimeters in length. These paired structures are situated within the pelvic region and are anchored by the mesovarium—a peritoneal extension that also connects them to the wider structure of the broad ligament. The support system extends to the suspensory ligament, housing blood and lymphatic vessels. In addition, the ovarian ligament tethers the ovaries to the uterus.

Pyloric Obstruction
Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...
