(Figure2). At age 66 (2012), she underwent left breast lumpectomy for conrmed 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 conrmed the presence of anasarca. Facial ushing, diarrhea or labile blood pressure, if present, was not recorded. Aprecordial murmur was described as absent. An electrocardiogram now showed total 12-lead QRS of 51mm; incomplete right bundle branch block and atrial premature complexes (Figure2). Echocardiogram disclosed both pulmonic and tricuspid valve regurgitation, thickening of both valvular leaets, immobility of the tricuspid valve leaets, severe dilatation of both right sided chambers, and no dilatation of the left-sided chambers (Figure3). Cardiac catheterization disclosed the following pressures in mm Hg: pulmonary artery, 30/10; right ventricle,

. The left ventricular ejection fraction was approximately 60%. Coronary angiography disclosed insignicant 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 leaets and chordae were sclerotic. Early postoperatively, excessive bleeding necessitated reexploration. Computed tomographic examination of the heart during the postoperative period disclosed an enlarged liver (23cm in greatest dimension) containing innumerable masses (Figure4) 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 (Figure5). 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 leaets 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).

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 leaets were thickened and the tricuspid leaets 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 signicant 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 1year. 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 (13mm 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.
The extremely low QRS voltage on electrocardiogram ts the picture of carcinoid heart disease. Roberts and colleagues

studied total 12-lead QRS voltage in 11 different cardiac conditions (aortic stenosis, pure aortic regurgitation, pure mitral regurgitation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, amyloid heart disease, cardiac adiposity and the carcinoid syndrome among others) and found that the 19 patients with carcinoid heart disease had the lowest 12-lead QRS voltage (mean 105) except for the 30 patients with cardiac amyloidosis who had a total 12-lead mean QRS voltage of 104mm (measured with normal [10mm] standardization [10mm=1mV]). Our patient near the end of life preoperatively had a total 12-lead QRS voltage of 51mm!

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 leaets 16 months after insertion of an Aleri 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.

In the early 1990s, Aleri et al 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. “the stitch” has been found. “the stitch” operatively inserted months earlier.

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 19-year-old man, who was born in January1998, had heart failure (HF) shortly after birth. The degree of HF waxed and waned during the next 15 or so years. By June2016 (age 17), the HF had reached the point that a left ventricular assist device was inserted and at the same procedure an Aleri st itch was placed on the m itral leaet s to decreas e the degree of functional mitral regurgitation. Neither the left ventricular assist device nor the Aleri stitch proved to be benecial. 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 leaets, severe dilatation of both ventricular cavities, and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (Figure 1). Echocardiographic ndings before and after placement of the Aleri stitch are summarized in Table1. In October2017 (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 leaets, which had been anatomically normal at the time of insertion of the Aleri stitch, were now quite thickened by brous tissue, particularly in their distal halves (Figure2). When contacted in November2018, 13 months after the heart transplant, the patient was asymptomatic and working.

(A) Parasternal long-axis view showing thickened mitral leaets with restricted diastolic excursion (small arrows). Both ventricular cavities and the left atrium are dilated (left ventricle at end-diastole=6.2cm, and at peak systole=5.9cm). The LVAD cannula is seen at lower left (large arrow). (B) Parasternal short-axis view showing Aleri stitch (arrow) with double orice mitral valve. (C) Mean transmitral gradient is 3mm Hg by continuous wave Doppler.
DISCUSSION
Described in this report is considerable brous thickening of the mitral leaets after insertion of an Aleri stitch 16 months earlier. Today, the Aleri stitch operation is infrequently performed but the insertion of the mitral clip by the percutaneous route is now frequently performed. cause the leaets to thicken and potentially convert an occasional patient from pure mitral regurgitation to mitral stenosis remains to be seen.
