[Une combinaison très rare de thrombose veineuse et artérielle chez un patient atteint du COVID 19]. / A very rare combination of venous and arterial thrombosis in a patient with COVID-19.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This epidemic has caused serious socio-economic problems worldwide, with a very high mortality rate. Several articles have been published in the literature showing the consequences of this disease on the human body. Among the most serious complications are venous and arterial thrombosis, which are rarely observed together in the same patient. In this article, we report an exceptional case of a patient with COVID-19 with the combination of intracardiac thrombus (left atrium) and venous thrombosis (splenic vein and portal trunk).

A Giant Primary Angiosarcoma Invading the Right Heart in a Young Male: An Emergency Surgery.

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is very rare. In this report, we describe an interesting case of a 25-year-old male with a giant primary angiosarcoma invading the right heart. He was urgently admitted to the hospital for respiratory distress. Once the diagnosis was suspected by chest x-ray, echocardiography, and CT scan, and given the patient's hemodynamic and respiratory instability, an emergency open-heart surgery was necessary to prevent complications. Through a right atriotomy and a pulmonary infundibulotomy, the tumor was resected. Invaded by the tumoral process, the tricuspid valve was replaced with a biological prosthesis. The postoperative course was marked by severe right ventricular dysfunction with multiorgan failure. Histopathologic examination of the surgical specimen confirmed a primary cardiac angiosarcoma.
