(Figure2). At age 66 (2012), she underwent left breast lumpectomy for conrmed
cancer and received radiation to that breast and to the left axillary region. At age
67, peripheral edema, abdominal swelling, and weight gain appeared and each
progressively worsened over a 6-month period during which time she gained
40 pounds. Examination in August 2013 conrmed the presence of anasarca.
Facial ushing, diarrhea or labile blood pressure, if present, was not recorded.
Aprecordial murmur was described as absent. An electrocardiogram now showed
total 12-lead QRS of 51mm; incomplete right bundle branch block and atrial
premature complexes (Figure2). Echocardiogram disclosed both pulmonic and
tricuspid valve regurgitation, thickening of both valvular leaets, immobility of
the tricuspid valve leaets, severe dilatation of both right sided chambers, and no
dilatation of the left-sided chambers (Figure3). Cardiac catheterization disclosed

. The left ventricular ejection fraction was
approximately 60%. Coronary angiography disclosed insignicant narrowing
(<30% diameter reduction).
In September 2013, the pulmonic valve was replaced with a homograft and
the tricuspid valve, with a bioprosthesis (Edwards, Magna Ease). The tricuspid
valve leaets and chordae were sclerotic. Early postoperatively, excessive bleeding
necessitated reexploration. Computed tomographic examination of the heart during
the postoperative period disclosed an enlarged liver (23cm in greatest dimension)
containing innumerable masses (Figure4) and “focal thickening of the cecum and
terminal ileum.” During the entire 10-day post-operative period, the patient never
awoke and had fatal multi-organ “failure”.
Examination of the operatively-excised thickened pulmonic valve and of a
portion of the thickened right atrial wall disclosed classic changes of carcinoid heart
disease (Figure5). Necropsy was not performed.
DISCUSSION
The patient described had some clinical features suggesting the presence of
carcinoid heart disease. These features included severe isolated right-sided heart
failure (anasarca), thickened pulmonic and tricuspid valve leaets with severe
regurgitation of both valves and some stenosis of the pulmonic valve, the absence of
left-sided heart disease, the absence of pulmonary disease including the absence of
pulmonary hypertension, the presence of extremely low total 12-lead QRS voltage
on electrocardiogram, and, the clincher, the presence of classic superimposed
bromuscular tissue on the operatively excised pulmonic valve cusps and on the
mural endocardium of the right atrium (which was biopsied).
1–6
A major clue to diagnosis was the echocardiogram which showed severe rightsided dilatation unassociated with any left-sided dilatation or atrial septal defect.
Additionally, both tricuspid and pulmonic valve leaets were thickened and the
tricuspid leaets immobile, something not seen in patients with cor pulmonale.
The echocardiogram also suggested the absence of pulmonary hypertension, a

requirement for the presence of cor pulmonale. And, most important, there was no
evidence of any pulmonary disease.
Because the patient had received radiation a year earlier for cancer of the left
breast, the thickening of the right-sided valves was attributed clinically to the
radiation-induced heart valve disease. An earlier study, however, had suggested that
signicant cardiac valve thickening secondary to radiation takes years as a rule to
occur after completion of the radiation therapy.
our patient was no more than 1year. Moreover, the radiation was limited to the left
breast and axilla, yet only the right-sided heart valves were involved, a pattern more
consistent with carcinoid heart disease than radiation injury.
Hemodynamic clues that carcinoid heart disease was the cause of the isolated
right-sided heart failure was the pressure gradient—albeit small (13mm Hg)—across

the pulmonic valve. Such gradients across this valve do not occur in patients with
cor pulmonale. The normal pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and the normal left
ventricular end-diastolic pressures in the presence of the very elevated right atrial
mean and right ventricular end-diastolic pressures rule out constrictive pericarditis
as the cause of the isolated rightsided heart failure.

QRS voltage (mean 105) except for the 30 patients with cardiac amyloidosis who
had a total 12-lead mean QRS voltage of 104mm (measured with normal [10mm]

Case 1723 The Mitral Valve 16 Months After
Operative Insertion of the Alfieri Stitch
Samreen Fathima, MD, Shelley A. Hall, MD, Paul A. Grayburn, MD,
and William C. Roberts, MD*
We describe considerable brous thickening of the mitral leaets 16 months
after insertion of an Aleri stitch in a previously anatomically normal but
functionally regurgitant mitral valve. Whether this type of mitral thickening
will occur after percutaneous insertion of the mitral clip for pure mitral
regurgitation remains to be determined. © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Stitch,” a bowtie procedure or edge-to-edge mitral valve repair for patients with
pure mitral regurgitation. The operation usually decreased the severity of the
mitral regurgitation and it usually reduced the pulmonary arterial pressure.
The procedure, however, was not without complications, a major one being the
conversion of the previous mitral regurgitation to mitral stenosis. Subsequently, of
course, percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve repair has proved to be effective and
has replaced the operative approach.

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 19-year-old man, who was born in January1998, had heart failure (HF) shortly after
birth. The degree of HF waxed and waned during the next 15 or so years. By June2016
(age 17), the HF had reached the point that a left ventricular assist device was inserted
and at the same procedure an Aleri st itch was placed on the m itral leaet s to decreas e
the degree of functional mitral regurgitation. Neither the left ventricular assist device
nor the Aleri stitch proved to be benecial. The patient gained 40 pounds during
the next several months because of worsening HF. An echocardiogram 6 months
before the heart transplant showed mild mitral regurgitation, thickening of the distal
third of the mitral leaets, severe dilatation of both ventricular cavities, and severe
tricuspid valve regurgitation (Figure 1). Echocardiographic ndings before and
after placement of the Aleri stitch are summarized in Table1. In October2017 (age
18), heart transplantation was performed. Examination of the native heart showed
it to be typical of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. It weighed 330 g. The mitral
leaets, which had been anatomically normal at the time of insertion of the Aleri
stitch, were now quite thickened by brous tissue, particularly in their distal halves
(Figure2). When contacted in November2018, 13 months after the heart transplant,
the patient was asymptomatic and working.
