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.

Left circumflex artery injury occurring during mitral valve surgery treated successfully with percutaneous intervention in a high surgical and bleeding risk patient

Project description:Perioperative myocardial infarction is a complication of cardiac surgery, and the cause can be multifactorial. Injury of the left circumflex coronary artery has been described, particularly after mitral valve replacement. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman who underwent mitral valve replacement but developed a lesion in the proximal circumflex coronary artery related to partial mechanical kinking caused by a suture. The therapeutic options are surgical or percutaneous. In this patient, the percutaneous strategy was successful. Learning objective • Percutaneous coronary intervention is an option in cases involving kinking of the left circumflex coronary artery after mitral valve replacement. • If unable to cross the lesion with a workhorse guide wire, one alternative is to use wires with good support properties and avoid very high tip loads to reduce the risk of perforation. In patients at high risk of bleeding, use of a drug-eluting stent and short-duration dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended.

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.>.
