The development of cardiac myxomas and papillary endocardial lesions from mural thrombus.

TLDR
The peculiar arrangement of endothelial cells and undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, the examples of apparent atrial wall invasion, and the cases of embolic "metastases" provide no conclusive evidence of neoplasia, since these features may also be seen with ordinary mural thrombi.

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma: a comprehensive analysis of 725 cases

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the demographics, clinical characteristics, pathological features, treatment, and prognosis of CPF and found that the successful complete resection of the cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is curative and the long-term postoperative prognosis is excellent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary cardiac tumors

TL;DR: Sixteen consecutive primary tumors of the heart have been surgically treated at Duke University Medical Center since 1966 with no perioperative deaths and no late recurrences.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between coronary artery lesions and myocardial infarcts: Ulceration of atherosclerotic plaques precipitating coronary thrombosis

TL;DR: Myocardial lesions related to clinical events associated with coronary artery hypoperfusion centric, and not confined to the distribution of a single coronary artery were found, and were unassociated with acute coronary lesions and histologically displayed contraction band necrosis more frequently than the embolic and atherosclerotic related lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical treatment of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma: a single center experience with eighty-eight patients.

TL;DR: Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma has a propensity to affect the anatomically contiguous structures of the aortic valve, left ventricular outflow tract, and anterior mitral leaflet and surgery by simple shave excision is low risk and can achieve good results.

Presence of modified fibroblasts in granulation tissue and their possible role in wound contraction.

TL;DR: Au cours de la contraction du tissu de granulation, de nombreux fibroblastes acquièrent des caractéristiques ultrastructurelles qui les rendent semblables à des cellules musculaires lisses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Granulation tissue as a contractile organ: a study of structure and function

TL;DR: The view that, under certain conditions, fibroblasts can differentiate into a cell type structurally and functionally similar to smooth muscle and that this cell, the "myo-fibroblast," plays an important role in connective tissue contraction is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myofibroblasts in human granulation tissue.

TL;DR: Fibroblasts of human granulation tissues develop structural and functional features typical of smooth muscle cells and are proposed to be responsible for the contraction of granulation tissue, a process useful in closing wounds though potentially harmful in other situations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wound healing and collagen formation. I. Sequential changes in components of guinea pig skin wounds observed in the electron microscope.

TL;DR: The regular sequence encountered in healing guinea pig skin wounds has been examined by methods of light and electron microscopy and several proposed mechanisms of collagen fibril formation are discussed in relation to the observed phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human wound repair. II. Inflammatory cells, epithelial-mesenchymal interrelations, and fibrogenesis.

TL;DR: Connective tissue repair was studied in a series of skin wounds in young adult males, finding cells which appear like poorly developed or immature fibroblasts can be followed during the different stages of wound repair.
