4-Valve Heart Disease and Right Heart Failure [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2018
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare form of heart disease due to secretion of vasoactive compounds, including serotonin, from gastrointestinal tumors. This E-challenge examines the case of a patient with advanced carcinoid heart disease who presented to the operating room (OR) for a tricuspid valve replacement.
