Seventy-year-old patient survives a giant apical LV pseudoaneurysm for 8 years.

ABSTRACT: The risk of rupture of LV pseudaneurysm is still not well understood, and ischemic cardiomyopathy with heart failure is a common consequence. Simple investigations like chest X-ray can give clue to such a serious diagnosis.

Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm in a Patient With an Apical Aneurysm.

Project description:Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a potentially life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction. Timely diagnosis is crucial to improve the patient's prognosis. We describe a multimodality diagnostic approach with emphasis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm found surreptitiously in 72-year-old man 2 weeks following an acute myocardial infarction. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

LV Pseudoaneurysm With Concomitant Mitral Valve Defect After LV Summit Ablation: A Rare Late Complication.

Project description:A 25-year-old male patient with highly symptomatic, monomorphic, premature ventricular contractions presented for repeat ablation after failed endocardial ablation. Three weeks after excessive endocardial and epicardial ablation on the left ventricular summit, the patient was admitted again with tamponade following a pseudoaneurysm on the ablation site. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Superior mesenteric artery thrombosis with concomitant pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in a 60-year-old male patient - A case report.

Project description:IntroductionVascular complications like superior mesenteric artery (SMA) thrombosis and pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) pseudoaneurysm carry high morbidity and mortality. SMA provides the primary arterial supply to the small intestine and ascending colon. PDA aneurysms are extremely rare, accounting for only 2 % of all visceral artery aneurysms. We present a rare case of SMA thrombosis with concomitant PDA pseudoaneurysm.Case presentationHerein is the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with rectorrhagia, persistent generalized abdominal pain. After being diagnosed with colitis and mesenteric artery thrombosis based on a computed tomography (CT) scan, he was discharged from the hospital with rivaroxaban and mesalazin. However, he had to return to the hospital due to worsening of the symptoms. After a proper workout, SMA artery thrombosis with a concomitant PDA pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed for him. Therefore, he underwent surgery to stent the thrombosis and coil the pseudoaneurysm. His symptoms dramatically improved after the treatment.DiscussionAngiography is the diagnostic and, with embolization, therapeutic procedure of choice, with surgery as a backup if embolization fails. However, even with these procedures, the mortality rate is high if the pseudoaneurysm ruptures.ConclusionIn order to carry out the proper choice of surgical treatment before further complications occur, SMA thrombosis and PDA pseudoaneurysms must be investigated in each patient presenting with nonspecific abdominal pain, regardless of the risk factors.

Giant retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 52-year-old man.

Project description:Schwannoma in the retroperitoneal space is rare, and it is extremely rare in patients with no history of neurofibromatosis. We present a case of giant retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 52-year-old man who did not have neurofibromatosis. Because malignant transformation would be extremely rare in this circumstance, close imaging follow-up could avert the necessity for complete resection. The possibility of schwannoma should be considered when evaluating retroperitoneal tumors with the characteristic findings, even if there is no connection between the tumor and the intervertebral foramina.

Giant coronary artery aneurysms in a 58-year-old.

Project description:All giant Kawasaki aneurysms may not regress fully; some may eventually calcify, undergo thrombosis, and get detected in asymptomatic adults at later age. Tomisaku Kawasaki initially described this illness as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome in childhood in 1967 and coronary arteritis was recognized later. We present a 58-year-old male, possibly one of the oldest surviving patients with giant coronary aneurysms who presented with large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with heart failure. This indicates that the disease was perhaps prevalent outside Japan even before the first Kawasaki's description.
