The tumour, which had spread throughout the entire right atrial free wall, was resected under cardiopulmonary bypass. Subsequent reconstruction of the right atrial wall involved the use of both...

... remained haemodynamically stable post-operatively and was discharged 10 days after presenting with cardiac tamponade. A follow-up two months later revealed that the patient was still being well. We present a case of RCA perforation as a complication of PM implantation, resulting in life-threatening...

... to represent less than 1% of all primary cardiac tumours. In this case report, we emphasize the diagnostic importance of multimodality imaging and the need for additional procedures, such as tissue biopsy, in a case with a primary cardiac lymphoma presenting with cardiac tamponade.

Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening medical emergency with a high mortality rate if not treated promptly and effectively. This condition arises from the accumulation of excessive fluid in the pericardial space and can have various...
