Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating inferior myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:Acquired pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a very rare disorder and mostly occurs after large transmural myocardial infarction (MI) with peak creatine phosphokinase-MB levels greater than 150 IU/mL. Patients developing left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm usually present with angina or heart failure symptoms. Although different imaging modalities exist, coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice for LV pseudoaneurysms detected in the first months after MI. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a relatively small inferior MI due to right coronary artery occlusion and complicated by LV pseudoaneurysm.

Multimodality Imaging of Left Ventricular Clefts in an Asymptomatic Teenager.

Project description:Left ventricular clefts (LVCs) are defined as deep, tight blood-filled invaginations within the ventricular myocardium localized predominantly in the basal posterior septum and LV-free wall. Usually, they are asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during diagnostic imaging procedures. LVC has been reported both in healthy volunteers and in patients affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Clinicians should be able to recognize LVC and to distinguish this entity from other myocardial wall defects with different pathological profile and clinical significance. We describe a case of multimodality imaging of multiple septal myocardial clefts in an asymptomatic teenager.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: an inadvertent consequence of COVID-19-a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is an uncommon but serious mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The immediate medical complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are well recognized, but its indirect effect on patients and healthcare systems is potentially less perceivable.Case summaryIn this report, a 72-year-old man who was anxious about attending hospital during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was eventually found to have a total right coronary artery occlusion after a delayed emergency department presentation. He ultimately developed severe symptomatic heart failure and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) revealed that a large LVP with concomitant severe ischaemic mitral regurgitation had evolved from his infarct. The patient was successfully discharged home after the surgical replacement of his mitral valve and repair of his LVP.DiscussionThis case highlights a salient downstream effect of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): the delay in presentation, diagnosis, and management of common treatable conditions such as AMI. It also underscores the importance of non-invasive multimodal imaging on the timely identification of the mechanical complications of AMI. In particular, CMR can play a crucial role in the characterization and management of LVP.

Case Report: Delayed Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Radiofrequency Ablation of Left Posteromedial Papillary Muscle Ventricular Tachycardia.

Project description:A 74-year-old woman presented with incessant wide complex tachycardia that was refractory to cardioversions. Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed on the left ventricular posteromedial papillary muscle. An inaudible steam pop has occurred during the procedure, but we confirmed that there were no complications during the procedure and short-term follow-up of echocardiography. Two months after the procedure, an asymptomatic pseudoaneurysm was identified at the ablation site that had not been observed in the short-term follow-up.

A case of conservative management for left ventricular giant pseudoaneurysm without ST segment changes.

Project description:Left ventricular (LV) rupture after myocardial infarction (MI) occasionally results in formation of LV pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) which is prone to rupture because of its thin wall. However, cases of LVPA without ST changes including segment elevation in electrocardiogram (ECG) are rare. In this case, we describe a patient who had relatively mild symptoms and giant LVPA with no specific ECG changes following MI with a confirmed diagnosis via transthoracic echocardiography. Although surgical treatment options are often recommended, conservative therapy was adopted, following which the patient had been well-medicated using antihypertensive drugs and anticoagulants. <Leaning objectives: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) is usually accompanied by ST segment changes on electrocardiogram (ECG) due to myocardial damage. However, we should take into account a LVPA without ECG specific changes, so echocardiography is better to be considered for an identification. Although many LVPA patients undergo surgery because of risk for rupture, some cases with stable hemodynamic status can have long-term survival with conservative therapy such as anti-hypertension and coagulation.>.

Uhl's Anomaly With Left Ventricular Noncompaction: Role of Multimodality Imaging in a Rare Association.

Project description:Uhl's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by partial or complete absence of the right ventricle myocardium. We report the first case, in a 21-year-old man, of Uhl's anomaly-associated left ventricular noncompaction. This association represents a unique clinical entity and has important implications for management strategies. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
