Mechanical discordance between left atrium and left atrial appendage.

Project description:During standard transesophageal echocardiographic examinations in sinus rhythm (SR) patients, the left atrial appendage (LAA) is not routinely assessed with Doppler. Despite having a SR, it is still possible to have irregular activity in the LAA. This situation is even more important for SR patients where assessment of the left atrium is often foregone. We describe a case where we encountered this situation and briefly review how to assess the left atrium and its appendage in such a case scenario.

Case report: Percoronary device closure of tortuous coronary artery fistula into left atrium.

Project description:Surgical ligation and transcatheter occlusion are the mainstream for the treatment of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs). However, these techniques applied to tortuous and aneurysmal CAF, especially those draining into left-heart, have their known drawbacks. We report, a successful percoronary device closure of such CAF, originating from left main coronary artery and draining into left atrium, through a left subaxillary minithoracotomy. Through a puncture on the distal straight course, we occluded CAF exclusively under transesophageal echocardiography guidance. Complete occlusion was achieved. It's a simple, safe, and effective alternative for tortuous, large, and aneurysmal CAFs draining into the left heart.

Long-Term Follow-Up of a Nonprogressive Left Main Coronary Artery Fistula to Right Atrium.

Project description:Coronary artery fistula is a rare cardiac abnormality, occurring more frequently in young patients and treated with cardiac surgery or percutaneous interventions in most cases. We present the case of a 63-year-old man with an incidental diagnosis of coronary artery fistula, treated with conservative strategy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Persistent left superior caval vein draining into right atrium, but not through the coronary sinus.

Project description:Persistence of the left superior caval vein is the most commonly reported thoracic venous anomaly. The vein usually drains into the right atrium through the coronary sinus, reflecting its developmental origin. We describe an unusual variant, in which the vein drained directly into the right atrium.

Electrophysiological differences between the epicardium and the endocardium of the left atrium.

Project description:Electrophysiological properties of the atrial endocardium compared to epicardium are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to compare the electrophysiological properties and vulnerability to arrhythmia induction from these regions.Transseptal endocardial and percutaneous epicardial mapping were performed in a porcine model (n = 7). Two opposing 4-mm electrophysiological catheters were positioned endocardially and epicardially. A circular mapping catheter (CMC) was positioned at the ostium of the common inferior pulmonary vein (CIPV) recording left atrial (LA)-PV potentials. Endocardial and epicardial effective refractory periods (ERPs) at two basic cycle lengths (CLs) of 600 and 400 ms were recorded from four anatomic locations (CIPV, LA appendage, right superior PV, and LA posterior wall). Atrial repetitive response (ARR) induction was also tested from endocardial and epicardial sites. Overall, 254 ERP measurements (mean 36.3 per animal) and 84 induction attempts (mean 12 per animal) were performed. The ERP was significantly shorter in the epicardium compared to the endocardium at basic CL of 400 ms (P = 0.006) but not at CL of 600 ms (P = 0.2). In addition, only the epicardium demonstrated ERP shortening when the CL of the basic drive was shortened (P = 0.03). ARR could be induced more often from the epicardium (P = 0.002) and fibrillatory activity with epicardial/endocardial dissociation was recorded (n = 3). Also, the earliest PV activation site on the CMC was noted to be different in 16.5% of cases during epicardial and endocardial pacing.The electrophysiological characteristics of the atrial epicardium are different from the endocardium with a shorter ERP and more frequent ARR induction by programed stimulation.
