  2. Case 1-H.H. • 61 y.o. M recently diagnosed with a right renal mass • Presented to the hospital with progressive dyspnea and worsening renal function • A 2D echo is ordered to evaluate the cause of dyspnea..

  3. Echocardiogram

  5. Case 1-H.H. • A mass is visualized in the R atrium. The mass is mobile, originates from the IVC, and is compatible with thrombus. • The RA mass measures 14 x 7 mm • A MRI of the abdomen is performed..

  16. Case 1-H.H. • A large mass is identified in the right kidney • A large thrombus is seen in the R renal vein and within the infra-renal IVC extending to the level of iliac bifurcation • Thrombus is also seen within the IVC extending superiorly to the atrio-caval junction

  17. Case 1-H.H. • Pt undergoes embolization of the R renal artery on 12/22 and a repeat embolization of residual renal artery on 1/3 • On 1/11 pt underwent R radical nephrectomy, supradaphragmatic IVC thrombectomy, and splenectomy

  18. Cardiac Masses • Abnormal structure within or immediately adjacent to the heart Three types of cardiac masses: • Tumor • Thrombus • Vegetation

  19. Cardiac Mass-Echocardiography • Pro: • Can provide both anatomic and physiologic information about the mass • Noninvasive, relatively inexpensive • Serial studies are feasible • Cons: • Suboptimal image quality in some patients • Relatively narrow field of view (vs.CT/MRI) • Mass versus ultrasound artifact • Mass versus normal structures

  20. Diagnosis of Intracardiac Mass • Excellent image quality • Identification in more than one acoustic window • Knowledge of normal structures, normal variants and post-op changes • Integration of other echo findings (i.e., rheumatic MS and LA thrombus) • Clinical data

  21. Cardiac mass vs. normal structuresRight Atrium • Crista terminalis • Chiari network (Eustachian valve remnants) • Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum • Trabeculation of the RAA • Atrial suture line (transplant) • Pacer wire, Swan-Ganz catheter, CVC, etc

  22. Eustachian valve remnants • Persistent portions of embryologic valves of sinus venosus • Junction of IVC/SVC with RA • Typically mobile • May be extensive → Chiari network • Do not extend to cross the tricuspid valve

  23. Chiari Network

  24. Pacer Wire

  25. Right-sided thrombi • Rarely form in situ • Most commonly embolized from venous source • May be ‘entrapped’ in TV or RV structures • Indwelling catheters or pacer wires • Better characterized with TEE • If mobile, differential include Eustachian valve remnants

  26. Higher: Irregular shape Protruding in the cavity Mobile Seen in multiple projections Lower: Flat Immobile Seen in single projections Risk of embolization

  27. Distingushing intracardiac masses

  28. Cardiac mass vs. normal structuresLeft Atrium • Dilated coronary sinus (persistent L superior vena cava) • Raphe between L superior pulmonary vein and LAA • Atrial suture line (transplant) • Beam-width artifact from calcified aortic valve, AV prosthesis, etc. • Interatrial septal aneurysm

  29. Cardiac mass vs. normal structuresLeft Ventricle • Papillary muscles • Left ventricular web (aberrant chordae) • Prominent apical trabeculations • Prominent mitral annular calcification

  30. Right Ventricle: Moderator band Papillary muscles Swan-Ganz catheter or pacer wire Aortic Valve: Nodules of Arantius Lambl’s excrescenses Base of valve leaflet seen en face in diastole Cardiac mass vs. normal structures

  31. Case 2-D.J. • 74 y.o. F presents with progressively worsening dyspnea and bilateral pleural effusions. Recently hospitalised for repeated syncopal episodes. • PMH: HTN, CAD, TIAs, Rheumatoid arthritis • MEDS: Methotrexate, Toprol, HCTZ, Lisinopril • SOCIAL: 40 pack-year tobacco hx

  39. Mitral Stenosis Rheumatic mitral stenosis. There are severe valvular changes, including marked fibrosis and calcification of the mitral valve leaflets and severe chordal thickening and fusion into pillars of fibrous tissue. (From Becker AE, Anderson RH [eds]: Cardiac Pathology: An Integrated Text and Colour Atlas. New York, Raven Press, 1983, p 4.3.)

  40. Hemodynamics • Schematic representation of left ventricular (LV), aortic, and left atrial (LA) pressures, showing normal relationships and alterations with mild and severe mitral stenosis (MS). Corresponding classic auscultatory signs of MS are shown at the bottom. Compared with mild MS, with severe MS the higher left atrial v wave causes earlier pressure crossover and earlier mitral valve (MV) opening, leading to a shorter time interval between aortic valve (AV) closure and the opening snap (OS). The higher left atrial end-diastolic pressure with severe MS also results in later closure of the mitral valve. With severe MS, the diastolic rumble becomes longer and there is accentuation of the pulmonic component (P2) of the second heart sound (S2) in relation to the aortic component (A2).

  41. Classification of severity of MS *valve gradients are flow dependent and when used to assess severity of valve stenosis should be assessed with knowledge of cardiac output or forward flow across the valve.

  42. Natural history of MS Natural history of 159 patients with isolated mitral stenosis (solid blue line) or mitral regurgitation (solid purple line) who were not operated on (even though the operation was indicated) compared with patients treated with valve replacement for mitral stenosis (dashed blue line) or mitral regurgitation (dashed purple line). The expected survival rate in the absence of mitral valve disease is indicated by the upper curve (dashed black line). (From Horstkotte D, Niehues R, Strauer BE: Pathomorphological aspects, aetiology, and natural history of acquired mitral valve stenosis. Eur Heart J 12[Suppl]:55-60, 1991.)

  43. Echo in MS

  44. Evaluation of MS by Echo • Valve anatomy, mobility and calcification • Mean trans-mitral pressure gradient • 2D Echo mitral valve area (planimetry) • Doppler pressure half-time area • Pulmonary artery pressures (TR jet and IVC) • Coexisting MR

  45. MV Morphology by 2D EchoThe Wilkins Score • Intended for predicting the likelihood of success of balloon valvulopasty • Total valve score will be in the range of 0 to 16 • Scores ≤8 associated with an optimal outcome from percutaneous valvuloplasty • Scores of ≥12 are associated with a poor outcome.

  46. “Doming” of anterior leaflet (From Bach DS: Rheumatic mitral stenosis. N Engl J Med 337:31, 1997.)

  47. Mean trans-mitral pressure gradient by Doppler • Simplified Bernoulli equation: ΔP= 4 v2 • Measurement of the Velocity Time Integral of a continuous wave Doppler recording of the entire period of mitral inflow. • Depends on transmitral flow rate

  48. Pitfalls of Pressure Gradient • Intercept angle between MS jet and ultrasound beam • Beat-to-beat variability in AF • Dependence on trans-mitral volume flow rate (i.e., exercise, MR, etc.)

  49. 2D Echo Mitral Valve Area • Planimetry of short-axis of the MV orifice • Tracing of the iner edge of the valve • Validated by comparison with valve area at surgery • Requires adequate image quality

  50. Pitfalls of 2D Valve Area • Image orientation • Tomographic plane • 2D gain settings • Intra and inter-observer variability in planimetry of orifice • Poor acoustic access • Deformed valve anatomy after valvuloplasty
