Author ProfileAbstract
Primary cardiac angiosarcomas are rare tumors. Here, we report a case of
primary cardiac angiosarcoma originating in the left atrium. The tumor
resulted in mitral stenosis with regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation,
and severe pulmonary hypertension. After admission, the tumor was
surgically removed. During the operation, it was found that the tumor
originated from the mitral valve and invaded the valve annulus. How to
place the artificial valve after the tumor was removed is the key to the
success of the surgery. In this article, we aim to provide insights into
the diagnosis, symptoms, and manifestations of primary cardiac
angiosarcoma, as well as an alternative approach to intraoperative
annulus reconstruction, and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis,
treatment, and positive prognosis.
