RESUMO
Real time two-dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a mobile echolucent mass attached to the pulmonary valve in a 25-year-old adult, 20 years following balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. The mass was surgically excised and pathology showed it to be a cyst.

We are describing two-dimensional and live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic as well as two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic findings in an elderly patient with epithelioid hemangioma involving the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve.

We report a patient who presented initially with a diagnosis of a mediastinal mass. During the cardiac catheterization, the patient was diagnosed with a saphenous vein graft aneurysm. We proceeded with a catheter-based intervention resulting in occlusion of the aneurysm. Repeat angiogram after three months showed complete occlusion of the vein graft supplying the aneurysm. We believe that in selected patients with saphenous vein graft aneurysm a catheter-based procedure is feasible and successful.
