ABSTRACT
A patient with superior vena cava thrombosis from cancer of the right lung is described. The particular interest of this case resides in: The numerical scantiness of cases reported in the literature: 12 cases reviewed; The exceptional nature of the etiopathogenic mechanism: paraneoplastic thrombosis; and the more precise problems relating to the indication, technique and tactics with respect to surgery.

To date only five patients have undergone surgery for severe incompetence due to quadricuspid aortic valve (5-9). This report describes a new case of congenital quadricuspid aortic valve with severe regurgitation and associated displacement of the right coronary orifice, in which the abnormal valve was excised and replaced by a Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve prosthesis.
