The aorta shows some atheromatous depositions in the upper portion. There is a large mass of antemortem clot at the point of the iliac bifurcation with extension down both common iliac arteries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe heart shows hypertrophy of the left ventricular wall, and an abnormal communication between the left ventricle and atrium running through the posterior cusp of the mitral valve via the papillary muscle into the left ventricular cavity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis channel is surrounded by thickened fibrous-looking tissue. The posterior cusp of the valve has been split. Sutured surgical incisions are visible on the posterior aspect of the model and the ventricular wall and in the left atrial appendage. Hydatid cysts occupy the abdominal aorta at its bifurcation, and the channel joining the left ventricle and left atrium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistology demonstrated cysts within the aorta wall comprised of 3 layers: an outermost pericyst fibrous layer; a middle ectocyst layer that was laminated, hyaline and acellular; and the inner endocyst in the germinative layer, consisting of daughter cysts and brood capsules with scolices. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA focal granulomatous palisading reaction was also present within the aorta wall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erler-Zimmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54831723774328,"sku":"EZ-MP2035","price":606.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/6087\/6201\/files\/MP2035_3.jpg?v=1754061748","url":"https:\/\/simandskills.co.uk\/products\/hydatid-disease-affecting-the-heart-and-aorta","provider":"Sim \u0026 Skills","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
