Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in Lemierre's syndrome: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLemierre's syndrome is an infectious phenomenon characterized by oropharyngeal infection with bacteraemia, thrombophlebitis, and distant septic emboli. Septic emboli are a recognized cause of a Type 2 myocardial infarction, with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm being a rare but important complication of this.Case summaryA 19-year-old male presented with acute confusion, fevers, and a cough. Blood cultures were positive for Fusobacterium necrophorum and initial imaging showed a cavitating pneumonia. Further evaluation revealed septic emboli in the distal digits and brain. The patient initially responded to antibiotic therapy but developed chest pain with increased troponin levels. An electrocardiogram showed inferolateral ST elevation. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed hypokinaesia of the mid to apical lateral wall, and a computed tomography (CT) scan showed a pericardial effusion with a possible purulent effusion or abscess. The patient underwent surgical drainage of a sterile effusion. A post-operative TTE and CT demonstrated a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that was surgically repaired. The venous thrombus was encountered intra-operatively confirming a diagnosis of Lemierre's syndrome. The patient completed the regimen of antibiotics and showed a good post-operative recovery.DiscussionThis is the first case described of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm as a complication of Lemierre's syndrome. It highlights not only the importance of serial, multimodality imaging in both diagnostic workup and identification of complications, but also the importance of a multidisciplinary team in the management of patients with complex and rare presentations.

Thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPseudoaneurysm of inferior wall of the left ventricle is an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction with high mortality.Case presentationWe report the case of a 63-year-old Tunisian man, diagnosed with a thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and a pericardial effusion after 1 week of angina.ConclusionsLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a serious complication of myocardial infarction that has atypical presentations. Diagnosis is generally established by transthoracic echocardiography but confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Urgent surgery is the treatment choice given the risk of embolization and rupture.

Decoding Postinfarction Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Recognizing true from pseudo left ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction is paramount to guide clinical management and determine need for surgical urgency. We discuss a case of a postinfarction pseudoaneurysm that poses unique anatomic challenges and may hold a secret "DaVinci code" beyond current diagnostic criteria. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

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: A Bursting Threat.

Project description:A 55-year-old man submitted to emergency surgery due to cardiac perforation by stabbing. One month later, he presented with chest pain, and a transthoracic echocardiogram revealed moderate-severe mitral regurgitation. After 6 months, a new transthoracic echocardiogram showed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, being later submitted to pseudoaneurysm exclusion and mitral valvuloplasty.
