RESUMO
We report 2 clinical cases of cardiac tumors, myxoma and papillary fibroelastoma, with unusual ventricular location. The clinical manifestations of these entities are not well described. Usually the patients are asymptomatic even if they have a high risk for cardiac and systemic embolic events so that these neoplasms are recognized during life more often in patients evaluated for embolic events of unclear pathology. The routine use of echocardiography has increased the detection of these tumors in living patients. In the surgical treatment, the approach should allow minimal manipulation of the tumors, inspection of all four cardiac chambers to overlook if tumors are multifocal and provide adequate exposure for complete resection. In our experience, we used two surgical approaches, via the left ventricle and via the aortic valve.

The devolpment of a left ventricular rupture after myocardial infarction is not a rare complication. We report a case of 70-year-old male patient with clinical and instrumental signs of cardiac tamponade after left ventricular rupture. We repaired this lesion with pericardial patch and biological Glue without extracorporeal circulation and sutureless.
