Cardiac CT and MRI guide surgery in impending left ventricular rupture after acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: We report the case of a 67 year-old patient who presented with worsening chest pain and shortness of breath, four days post acute myocardial infarction. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of the chest ruled out a pulmonary embolus but revealed an unexpected small subepicardial aneurysm (SEA) in the lateral left ventricular wall which was confirmed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Intraoperative palpation of the left lateral wall was guided by the cardiac MRI and CT findings and confirmed the presence of focally thinned and weakened myocardium, covered by epicardial fat. An aneurysmorrhaphy was subsequently performed in addition to coronary bypass surgery and a mitral valve repair. The patient was discharged home on post operative day eight in good condition and is feeling well 2 years after surgery.

Cardiac CT for intraseptal pseudoaneurysm: impending double rupture of ventricular septum and left ventricular free wall.

Project description:A 71-year-old woman presented at our hospital with chest discomfort. Cardiac CT showed an impending double rupture; an intraseptal pseudoaneurysm had ruptured into the right ventricle, while the left ventricular free wall remained intact at this stage. After admission, the patient fell into cardiogenic shock. Emergency surgery was performed. The intraoperative findings included a double rupture of the ventricular septum and the left ventricular free wall. Double rupture is a rare but fatal complication of myocardial infarction. Early diagnosis is essential. Recently, cardiac CT has emerged as a valuable tool for patients with possible ischaemic disease. In this case, enhanced cardiac CT showed an impending double rupture of junctional-type. The static and dynamic images of intraseptal pseudoaneurysm by two-dimensional (2-D) CT, 3-D CT and 4-D CT presented here provide insights into the mechanisms behind, and the pathophysiology of, double ruptures. They also demonstrate the significance of cardiac CT for evaluating ischaemic heart disease.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after myocardial infarction detected by cardiac MRI.

Project description:Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a grave complication of acute myocardial infarction. Acutely, it has an extremely high rate of mortality, especially if undetected. Chronically, there is paucity of data on how to manage the pathology, especially if detected as an incidental finding. We present a unique case of initially undetected LVFWR in a patient who presented with repeated chest pain. Cardiac MRI enabled the diagnosis and localisation of the original site of LVFWR and provided highly relevant volume calculations. Measurement of both absolute and virtual volumes indicated that aneurysm resection, including the original site of rupture, was surgically feasible without reducing postoperative stroke volume.

Concurrent true inferoposterior left ventricular aneurysm and ventricular septal rupture secondary to inferior myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is the most common mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI), it rarely involves the inferior or posterior left ventricular wall. Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) may be a fatal mechanical complication of MI but rarely occurs in the posterior or inferior portion of the interventricular septum. Thus, LVA and VSR as two mechanical complications of MI in the same patient are extremely rare.Case summaryA 65-year-old woman, who had inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction 2 months before without reperfusion therapy, was admitted with exertional dyspnoea for 1 month. Echocardiography and computed tomography revealed true inferoposterior LVA and VSR as concurrent complications of MI. These imaging findings were confirmed during cardiac surgery. After successful coronary bypass grafting and ventriculoplasty, the patient recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital.DiscussionA rare case of post-infarction inferoposterior LVA with concurrent interventricular septal rupture was reported. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography were valuable tools for the diagnosis of this rare condition. Combined coronary bypass grafting and ventriculoplasty were effective in treating this often fatal complication of inferior MI.

Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture After Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:This paper describes the case of a 68-year-old man who presented in cardiac tamponade due to a right ventricular free wall rupture after a recent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. After a pericardiocentesis, the ventricular defect resolved spontaneously. The patient was managed medically and avoided surgical intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Morphologically normalized left ventricular motion indicators from MRI feature tracking characterize myocardial infarction.

Project description:We characterized motion attributes arising from LV spatio-temporal analysis of motion distributions in myocardial infarction. Time-varying 3D finite element shape models were obtained in 300 Controls and 300 patients with myocardial infarction. Inter-individual left ventricular shape differences were eliminated using parallel transport to the grand mean of all cases. The first three principal component (PC) scores were used to characterize trajectory attributes. Scores were tested with ANOVA/MANOVA using patient disease status (Infarcts vs. Controls) as a factor. Infarcted patients had significantly different magnitude, orientation and shape of left ventricular trajectories in comparison to Controls. Significant differences were found for the angle between PC scores 1 and 2 in the endocardium, and PC scores 1 and 3 in the epicardium. The largest differences were found in the magnitude of endocardial motion. Endocardial PC scores in shape space showed the highest classification power using support vector machine, with higher total accuracy in comparison to previous methods. Shape space performed better than size-and-shape space for both epicardial and endocardial features. In conclusion, LV spatio-temporal motion attributes accurately characterize the presence of infarction. This approach is easily generalizable to different pathologies, enabling more precise study of the pathophysiological consequences of a wide spectrum of cardiac diseases.

Case of ventricular septal rupture following acute myocardial infarction.

Project description:Ventricular septal rupture is a rare and potentially fatal complication of transmural myocardial infarction. Early identification utilising transthoracic echocardiography significantly improves long term outcomes in these patients. We report on a case of a 77-year-old male who presented with signs and symptoms of cardiac failure and a loud systolic murmur. The patient underwent an initial point-of-care ultrasound which revealed evidence of a transmural myocardial infarction and a high suspicion of an apical ventricular septal rupture. A complete transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed the septal rupture diagnosis and the patient subsequently underwent surgical repair of the ventricular rupture. This case highlights the role of echocardiography in decreasing adverse outcomes in patients with ventricular septal rupture.

Left ventricular restoration devices post myocardial infarction.

Project description:Even in the era of percutaneous reperfusion therapy, left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) leading to heart failure remains a major health concern. Contractile dysfunction of the infarcted myocardium results in an increased pressure load, leading to maladaptive reshaping of the LV. Several percutaneous transcatheter procedures have been developed to deliver devices that restore LV shape and function. The purposes of this review are to discuss the spectrum of transcatheter devices that are available or in development for attenuation of adverse LV remodeling and to critically examine the available evidence for improvement of functional status and cardiovascular outcomes.
