Left Atrial Dissection Induced by Coronary Sinus Catheter-Related Injury.

Project description:We present a unique case of left atrial (LA) dissection in a 46-year-old man following aortic dissection surgery. The LA dissection was attributed to coronary sinus catheter-related injury. This report highlights the importance of recognizing this rare complication and the crucial role of transesophageal echocardiography in its diagnosis. We discuss the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and management strategies for LA dissection.

Successful coil embolization of a large right coronary artery-coronary sinus fistula causing a significant left-to-right shunt: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThis case reviews a challenging but successful transcatheter coil embolization of a large congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) causing a significant left-to-right shunt.Case summaryA 51-year-old female with no significant prior history presented with symptoms of dyspnoea and chest discomfort. Extensive evaluation revealed a large CAF between a tortuous right coronary artery (RCA) and the coronary sinus (CS) composed of three aneurysmal pseudochambers. Closure of the RCA-CS fistula was attempted through coil deployment into the fistula neck. However, due to the brisk flow through the fistula, both coils embolized into the fistula sac. An alternative location was subsequently identified on three-dimensional rendering of a computed tomography angiography scan, which revealed a sharp bend in the RCA prior to the fistula neck and distal to the posterior descending artery (PDA) takeoff. Repeat attempt at embolization was accomplished using a telescoping system to reach and occlude the targeted bend. The coil mass remained stable and angiography demonstrated reduced flow through the fistula and preserved patency of the PDA. The decreased residual flow through the fistula secondary to the initial embolization attempt likely aided the successful deployment of coils in the second and final attempt. At 1 year, the patient was doing well with resolution of her symptoms and no clinical symptoms of coronary ischaemia.DiscussionWe suggest that an initial unsuccessful attempt at transcatheter embolization of a CAF should not preclude subsequent attempts for closure when there exists an appropriate indication.

Late Iatrogenic Coronary Sinus Hematoma During Cardiac Surgery.

Project description:Retrograde cardioplegia is commonly used in cardiac surgery to induce cardioplegic arrest. However, this method could be potentially associated with coronary sinus injuries, which can be fatal or extremely difficult to manage. This report describes the conservative management of an iatrogenic coronary sinus hematoma by daily transthoracic echocardiography and weekly computed tomography follow-up. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Frequency Gradient Within Coronary Sinus Predicts the Long-Term Outcome of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation.

Project description:The coronary sinus (CS), as a junction of the atria, contributes to atrial fibrillation (AF) by developing unstable reentry, and isolating the atria by ablation at the CS could terminate AF. The present study evaluated whether AF activities at the CS in a subset of patients contributed to AF maintenance and predicted clinical outcome of ablation.We studied 122 consecutive patients who had a first-time radiofrequency ablation for persistent AF. Bipolar electrograms were obtained from multiple regions of the left atrium by a Lasso mapping catheter before ablation. Pulmonary vein isolation terminated AF in 12 patients (9.8%). Sequential stepwise ablation was conducted in pulmonary vein isolation nontermination patients and succeeded in 22 patients (18%). In the stepwise termination group, AF frequency in the proximal CS (CSp) was significantly higher (10.2±2.1 Hz versus 8.3±1.8 Hz, P<0.001), and the ratio of distal CS (CSd) to proximal CS (CSd/CSp ratio, 56.6%±10.11% versus 70.7%±9.8%, P<0.001) was significantly lower than that in the nontermination group. The stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that the CSd/CSp ratio was an independent predictor with an odds ratio of 1.131 (95%CI 1.053-1.214; P=0.001). With a cutoff of 67%, the patients with lower CSd/CSp ratios had significantly better index and long-term outcomes than those with higher ratios during a follow-up of 46±18 months.Rapid repetitive activities in the musculature of the proximal CS may contribute to maintenance of AF after pulmonary vein isolation alone in persistent AF. A cutoff at 67%, of the CSd/CSp frequency ratio might be an indicator to stratify the subset of patients who might benefit from CS ablation.

Isolated persistent left-sided superior vena cava, giant coronary sinus, atrial tachycardia and heart failure in a child.

Project description:Persistence of a left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC) with absent right superior vena cava (isolated PLSVC) is a very rare venous malformation and commonly associated with congenital heart disease or alterations of the cardiac situs. We describe an unusual case of a young boy presenting with persistent atrial tachycardia and congestive heart failure. He was detected to have unexplained grossly dilated right atrium, right ventricle with systolic dysfunction and a giant coronary sinus (CS). The dilated CS closely mimicked a pseudo cor-triatriatum on echocardiography. Contrast echocardiography from both arms revealed opacification of the CS before the right atrium. Bilateral upper limb venography confirmed the presence of absent right SVC and isolated persistent left SVC draining into the giant coronary sinus.
