#3669 Can simple measurements on routine surveillance CT in metastatic NET disease predict clinically significant carcinoid heart disease? A retrospective single site study of 73 patients

Introduction: Patients with confirmed metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (MNET) have surveillance CT scan, therefore there is acquisition of non-gated cardiac imaging.

#2833 Surgical Correction of Carcinoid Heart Disease Improves Liver Function and 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid Levels

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours of the gastrointestinal tract cause carcinoid syndrome and carcinoid heart disease. These tumours secrete serotonin, which can bind to heart valves and cause fibrosis and valve incompetence. Most cases involve the tricuspid valve +/- pulmonary valve. Medical management comprises diuretics for fluid overload and somatostatin analogues to reduce circulating serotonin. Definitive treatment is heart-valve replacement surgery which improves exercise tolerance but has high perioperative mortality. We have previously reported that valve-replacement surgery can reduce 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels, reflecting a decline in hormone activity.

#1655 A Case Report of Bicaval Stents and Inferior Vena Cava Valve Implantation to Control Carcinoid Symptoms in Order to Safely Allow Surgical Valve Replacement

Introduction: Surgery for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a high-risk procedure. Therefore transcatheter valve implantation into the vena cava can be performed as an attempt to reduce the complications and symptoms associated with this.
