Phasic disappearance of left circumflex coronary artery from an early complication of mitral valve surgery.

ABSTRACT: LV pseudoaneurysm can be a late complication of mitral valve replacement. In our case, it was an early postoperative complication. This pseudoaneurysm was causing compression of LCX artery during systole, leading to presentation of NSTEMI two weeks after the surgery.

Phasic Compression of Left Circumflex Coronary Artery during Atrial Systole.

Project description:Phasic coronary artery compression is typically associated with spasm or myocardial bridging. Compression caused by acquired anatomic changes to the surrounding heart chambers has been reported only infrequently. We present a possibly unique case of phasic compression of the proximal left circumflex coronary artery during atrial contraction in association with a dilated left atrium. A 55-year-old man with multiple cardiac risk factors presented with worsening exertional dyspnea. An electrocardiogram and echocardiogram revealed marked left atrial dilation and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 0.15 to 0.20 with elevated filling pressures. Angiograms showed compression of the proximal segment of the left circumflex coronary artery during late ventricular diastole: the compression occurred in phase with atrial systole, whereas good flow without compression was present during atrial diastole. We attributed this phenomenon to ballooning of the lateral region of the atrial wall toward the atrioventricular groove during atrial systole. The patient complied with antihypertensive therapy, and his status improved after one year. To identify coronary artery compression in the presence of abnormal chamber geometry and to guide the treatment of the contributing medical conditions, we recommend careful analysis of angiographic results.

Left circumflex artery injury following surgical mitral valve replacement: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral valve (MV) repair or replacement surgery is indicated for a variety of conditions. Although uncommon, damage to the left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery, which courses in close proximity to the MV annulus, is a devastating complication.Case summaryThis report describes the case of a 63-year-old woman following re-operative MV replacement. Shortly after being transferred to the surgical intensive care unit after MV replacement, her EKG was notable for persistent inferolateral ST-segment elevations and reciprocal ST-segment depressions. Emergency transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35-40% and mid to distal lateral wall motion hypokinesis. She was emergently taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory where coronary angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of her mid LCx artery. She underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention of the lesion and was started on dual antiplatelet treatment, anticoagulation for comorbid atrial fibrillation, as well as guideline directed medical therapy with improvement in her EKG changes and cardiac function.ConclusionPrompt diagnosis and recognition of LCx injury is crucial. Management involves immediate percutaneous recanalization or surgical coronary bypass grafting.

Large sub-mitral aneurysm compressing the left circumflex coronary artery presenting with atypical chest pain - Rare presentation.

Project description:Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) is a rare cardiac malformation commonly reported in young adults of African ancestry. SMA is considered a congenital disease caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. In the past two decades, a considerable number of cases regarding this rare disease have been reported in Asians, highlighting the importance of considering SMA in differential diagnosis of young patients presenting with mitral regurgitation and chest pain. Herein, we report the case of a young male with atypical chest pain with compression of left circumflex coronary artery by a large SMA. <Learning objective: Sub-mitral aneurysm is a rare cardiac malformation, caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. Patients may be entirely asymptomatic, or they can present with mitral regurgitation with or without left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, systemic thromboembolism, ventricular wall rupture causing tamponade, myocardial ischemia due to compression of coronary arteries, ventricular arrhythmias, or sometimes sudden cardiac death. Strong suspicion and early diagnosis followed by surgery can prevent sudden cardiac death.>.

Mitral valve annulus and circumflex artery: In vivo study of anatomical zones.

Project description:ObjectiveTo provide, with the use of preoperative coronary computed tomography angiography, an in vivo anatomical characterization of the relationship between the circumflex artery and mitral valve annulus to identify different risk classes and to increase the surgical awareness of those anatomical relations.MethodsNinety-five (mean age: 64.2 ± 11.7) consecutive patients, initially referred for elective minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, underwent preoperative coronary computed tomography angiography. The distance between the circumflex artery and mitral annulus was assessed using 6 points designed on the posterior mitral annulus, starting from the anterolateral to the posteromedial commissure; this design created an ideal 5-zone system. High-risk anatomy was defined as a distance less than 3 mm between the circumflex artery and the mitral valve annulus.ResultsThe shortest distance between the circumflex artery and mitral valve annulus was observed at the area between the anterolateral commissure and the midpoint of P1 scallop, so-called zone 1 (5.49 ± 3.13 mm), whereas the longest distance occurred at zone 5 (12.03 ± 4.93). Twenty-four patients (25%) were identified with high-risk anatomy (mean distance 1.94 ± 0.8 mm). Left dominant and co-dominant hearts demonstrated a shorter circumflex artery-mitral valve annulus distance at all the zones. At multinomial logistic regression, the pattern of coronary dominance and the size of the circumflex artery were independent factors for high-risk anatomy.ConclusionsCoronary computed tomography angiography is a useful investigation to identify patients at risk of circumflex artery flow disturbance; for high-risk anatomy, this knowledge may enhance a safer operative technique.

Absence of left circumflex with superdominant right coronary artery.

Project description:Congenital anomalies of coronary arteries are a group of diseases that are infrequently found. Their prevalence has been reported from 0.6% to 1.3%. Most clinical manifestations are benign and asymptomatic. Congenital absence of the left circumflex artery is a very rare congenital anomaly of the coronary circulation, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 51-year-old man who underwent a cardiac catheterisation. Coronary angiography showed a left anterior descending coronary artery with no circumflex and a dominant right coronary artery.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the proximal left circumflex artery: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has gained attention as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death (SCD) among women. Management strategies of SCAD differ from those of atherosclerotic disease. There is an elevated risk of complications and suboptimal outcomes in patients with SCAD undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs).Case summaryA 48-year-old woman without any traditional cardiovascular risk factors was admitted with severe central chest pain with associated dyspnoea and diaphoresis. The patient had a strong family history of SCD, affecting three female members in their 40s and 50s. Cardiac troponins were elevated. Coronary angiogram showed moderate to severe stenosis of the proximal circumflex coronary artery. Optical coherence tomography confirmed SCAD with sub-intimal haematoma. Despite significant stenosis in the proximal segment of a relatively large artery, a decision was made not to proceed with PCI. The follow-up angiogram demonstrated normal coronaries. Magnetic resonance imaging of renal arteries showed features suggestive of fibromuscular dysplasia affecting the right renal artery. Subsequent genetic counselling and gene testing were unremarkable.DiscussionConservative management of SCAD is recommended because the large majority of SCAD lesions heal naturally, whereas PCI is associated with increased risk of complications and adverse outcomes. Whether SCAD is associated with the sudden death events in our patient's family remains unclear. It certainly raises concerns as to an inheritable condition. In the absence of post-mortem findings in her family members, we can only speculate about this representing a possible inheritable form of SCAD.

Postoperative coronary artery spasm after mitral valve replacement.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Postoperative coronary artery spasm is an infrequent life-threatening event after cardiac surgery which can occur without an underlying coronary disease PRESENTATION OF CASE:We report a documented case of a 67-year-old man with normal coronary arteries submitted to mitral valve replacement. Immediately after surgery he had a ST elevation in the inferior leads, and an inferior wall hypokinesia at the trans-oesophageal echo. A coronary angiography demonstrated a focal spasm in the right coronary artery which was successfully treated by intracoronary injection of nitrates. The following postoperative course was uneventful and the left ventricular function returned to normal. DISCUSSION:A coronary artery spasm should be suspected whenever a postoperative infarction occurs after valvular surgery especially in absence of associated coronary artery disease. In this cases postoperative coronary angiography allows both the diagnosis and the treatment. CONCLUSION:This case-report summarizes the findings of this rare and potentially life-threatening cause of early postoperative ischemia and highlights the role of early coronary angiography in the cases of suspected myocardial infarction after cardiac surgery.
