Pulmonary Valve Intimal Sarcoma [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016 Malignant cardiac tumors are very rare. They carry a high risk of morbidity and death. We present a case of malignant intimal sarcoma that originated from the pulmonary valve leaflet in a 72-year-old woman. The clinical presentation was gradual onset of shortness of breath and fatigue.We successfully removed the tumor, with pulmonary valve preservation.

Abnormal Haemodynamic Flow Patterns in Bicuspid Pulmonary Valve Disease
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Abnormal flow patterns in the aortas of those with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are increasingly recognized as important in the pathogenesis of aortic dilatation but pulmonary flow patterns in bicuspid pulmonary valves have not been studied.

Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Placement [PDF]
Texas Heart Institute Journal, 2015 Patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary valve disease need multiple procedures over their lifetimes to replace their pulmonary valves. Chronic pulmonary stenosis, regurgitation, or both have untoward effects on ventricular function and on the clinical status of these patients. To date, all right ventricle–pulmonary artery conduits have had

Pulmonary valve spindle-cell lipoma: A case report
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023 Primary cardiac tumours are rare and most of them are benign. Myxomas, fibroelastomas and lipomas are common in adults. Primary valvular cardiac tumours are even more rare and affect all four valves in a similar proportion. Valvular lipomas are very rare.
