Long-term follow-up of an adult with left pulmonary artery stenting and absent right pulmonary artery: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery is a rare congenital abnormality with varied clinical presentations. We present a unique case of congenital absence of right pulmonary artery (RPA) with left pulmonary artery (LPA) origin stenosis without any intracardiac or extracardiac lesion and its long-term follow-up.

Case summary

A 68-year-old woman underwent successful LPA stenting 23?years back for absent RPA and LPA origin stenosis. She was recently evaluated for breathlessness, almost two decades after the procedure. On evaluation, she was found to have severe pulmonary hypertension (Group 5) without any distortion of the LPA and with normally functioning stent.

Discussion

This report discusses the long-term outcome of stenting in the setting of severe stenosis of a single pulmonary artery. Over the years, the patient went on to develop severe segmental pulmonary hypertension (Group 5).

A single coronary artery with left circumflex artery crossing right ventricular outflow tract in tetralogy of Fallot with absent left pulmonary artery.

Project description:Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with unilateral absence of pulmonary artery and the anomalous coronary artery is a rare combination. Detailed preoperative evaluation of coronary artery anatomy is must to prevent injury to the major vessels crossing right ventricular outflow tract. We report a rare association of single coronary artery with left circumflex artery crossing right ventricular outflow tract close to the pulmonary annulus in tetralogy of Fallot with absent left pulmonary artery in 11-year-old girl. Though there is a great diversity of coronary anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot, the prepulmonic course of left circumflex artery crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) close to the pulmonary annulus has rarely been described in the literature. The patient underwent successful primary single lung intracardiac repair. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was treated by handmade valved pericardial autologous conduit and release of the tethering of hypoplastic native unicuspid pulmonary valve leaflet maintaining its integrity.

Hypoplastic right heart syndrome, absent pulmonary valve, and non-compacted left ventricle in an adult.

Project description:Hypoplastic right heart syndrome is a rare cyanotic congenital heart disease with under-development of the right ventricle, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves leading to right-to-left shunting of the blood through inter-atrial septal defect. Perinatal mortality is high with very few patients surviving to adulthood without corrective surgery. This report describes a 26-year-old young woman, who had recurrent abortions and stillbirths and detected to have marked cyanosis with hypoplastic right heart, sub-arterial ventricular septal defect, absent pulmonary valve, non-compaction of the left ventricle, and bicuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation. The patient died owing to progressive heart failure 4 years after the diagnosis was made.

Left Pulmonary Artery Ligation and Chronic Pulmonary Artery Banding Model for Inducing Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Hypertension in Sheep.

Project description:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease that leads to cardiopulmonary dysfunction and right heart failure from pressure and volume overloading of the right ventricle (RV). Mechanical cardiopulmonary support has theoretical promise as a bridge to organ transplant or destination therapy for these patients. Solving the challenges of mechanical cardiopulmonary support for PH and RV failure requires its testing in a physiologically relevant animal model. Previous PH models in large animals have used pulmonary bead embolization, which elicits unpredictable inflammatory responses and has a high mortality rate. We describe a step-by-step guide for inducing pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy (PH-RVH) in sheep by left pulmonary artery (LPA) ligation combined with progressive main pulmonary artery (MPA) banding. This approach provides a controlled method to regulate RV afterload as tolerated by the animal to achieve PH-RVH, while reducing acute mortality. This animal model can facilitate evaluation of mechanical support devices for PH and RV failure.

Right coronary artery-left ventricular fistula with giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery fistula complicated with giant coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare cardiac malformation, and its surgical indications and treatment strategies still need further discussion.Case summaryIn this case, a 41-year-old man had complained of occasional dizziness for 2 years, but he did not seek medical attention until he started to feel palpitations. A right coronary artery (RCA)-left ventricular (LV) fistula with giant RCA of diffuse ectasia was firstly revealed by transthoracic echocardiography. A widened left ventricle and significantly constricted right atrium and right ventricle were also detected by three-dimensional coronary artery computed tomography. Surgical treatment, including the repair of the RCA-LV fistula, the resection and reconstruction of the dilated RCA and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, were performed to correct the malformation. The patient presented a favourable health condition without any discomfort at the 1-year follow-up.DiscussionCAE can be caused by various congenital or acquired factors. Surgical treatment, such as transcatheter embolization excision, surgical ligation or resection for symptomatic patients with CAE three times or larger than the reference diameter, has been reported to have satisfactory results. Additionally, CABG can be selected if myocardial perfusion is compromised and the distal branch is of reasonable size. In this case, the giant ectasia of the RCA may have been a consequence of the congenital RCA-LV fistula. Atherosclerosis, with calcified plaques in the RCA, and the patient's long-term history of smoking may have contributed to the development of giant ectasia of the RCA.

One patient with an anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery directly from the right ventricle: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery is a rare malformation, which so far has mainly been found as an anomalous origin from a different site of the aorta, accounting for 0.12% of all congenital heart diseases. This case report introduced a very rare case of the anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery which had never reported in the clinic.Case summaryA 2-year-old boy with a 6-month history of shortness of breath and recurrent respiratory infection, was diagnosed left pulmonary artery (LPA) directly arising from the right ventricle by transthoracic echocardiography and multidetector computed tomography without a deletion in the region of 22q11. Eventually, the LPA was further conformed that arised from the right ventricle during the operation, and was corrected with a well clinical outcome.DiscussionThe surgical technique for repair of this anomalous LPA was not difficult in our case. However, the embryonic development of the present case still could not be completely explained by the current embryologic postulates since it was a new malformation that never reported. Due to its rarity, there is still much to learn about the origin and development of the pulmonary arteries that possibly develop prenatally.

Multiple giant coronary artery aneurysms combined with right coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The combination of multiple giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) and right coronary artery (RCA) to pulmonary artery (PA) fistula is extremely rare and the patients with CAAs may suffer from several fatal complications. We herein describe a 60-year-old female with hemodynamic instability who was diagnosed with multiple giant CAAs combined with RCA-PA fistula. CASE PRESENTATION:The patient, a 60-year-old female, presented to the emergency room because of progressive exertional chest distress and fatigue. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography confirmed the existence of multiple giant CAAs and RCA-PA fistula. Laboratory examinations for systemic vasculitis and infectious diseases demonstrated no abnormalities and work-up for childhood and family history were negative. We have performed a successful surgical treatment for this patient. The patient's restrictive cardiac dysfunction was improved after debriding the advanced thrombi in aneurysm sac and ligating the fistulous vessel between the native RCA and PA. The postoperative pathologic examination of the aneurysmal wall revealed loss of smooth muscle cells in the media with local mucoid degeneration, no chronic inflammation, sclerosis and IgG4 were observed. CONCLUSIONS:The treatment decision-making process should depend upon the patients' specific situations. Our case suggests the surgical intervention should be accepted as the preferred treatment for giant CAAs with restrictive cardiac dysfunction.

Minimally invasive coil embolization for significant left-to-right shunts due to giant coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistulas: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula (CPF) is a rare disease, and its optimal treatment strategy remains controversial. Herein, we report a rare case of minimally invasive coil embolization of giant CPFs.Case summaryA 78-year-old man with a history of persistent atrial fibrillation and lumbar canal stenosis presented to our hospital with breathlessness. Cardiac computed tomography revealed giant CPFs inducing a significant left-to-right shunt (Qp/Qs 1/2.1) with a coronary artery aneurysm smaller than the size indicated for surgical treatment. To reduce the left-to-right shunt flow, coil embolization procedures for the fistulas were performed twice. Initially, the fistula arising from the right coronary artery was embolized using three Target® XXL (6 × 40 mm, 5 × 20 mm) and two Target® XL SOFT (4 × 12 mm) coils (Stryker Inc., Tokyo, Japan). One month later, the fistulas arising separately from the left coronary artery were embolized. After the procedures, the major shunt flow disappeared angiographically, and Qp/Qs significantly decreased to 1/1.2. Additionally, the fractional flow reserve of the left coronary artery increased from 0.79 to 0.93, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing showed an improvement in his exercise tolerance.DiscussionIn similar cases, a surgical procedure with ligation of the CPFs combined with resection of a small aneurysm and coronary artery bypass grafting would normally have been considered the best approach. However, endovascular treatment targeting only the fistulas was a superior strategy considering the patient's age. The coil embolization technique effectively controlled the shunt flow of the CPFs. This technique is considerably less invasive than surgical therapy.

Percutaneous and open retrograde endovascular stenting of symptomatic high-grade innominate artery stenosis: technique and follow-up.

Project description:Background and purposeAngioplasty and stenting of the IA have been reported with high technical and clinical success rates, low complication rates and good mid-term patency rates. Different antegrade or retrograde endovascular catheter-based approaches and combinations with surgical exposure of the CCA are used. The purpose of this study was to determine safety, efficacy and mid-term clinical and radiological outcome of the stent-assisted treatment of atherosclerotic stenotic disease of the IA with special focus on the different technical approaches.Materials and methodsBetween 1996 and 2008, 18 patients (12 men, 6 women) with symptomatic high-grade stenosis (>80%) of the IA were treated with endovascular stent placement. Their mean age was 60.4 years (range, 48-78 years). Mean angiographic and clinical follow-up was 2.7 years (range, 0.3-9.1 years). Clinical follow-up was performed by using the mRS at hospital discharge, routine follow-up controls, and a questionnaire. In 11 patients, a percutaneous approach was used. In 7 patients, the lesions were accessed retrogradely through a cervical cut-down with common carotid arteriotomy. In 2 patients, a simultaneous ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy was performed.ResultsIn all patients, primary stent placement was performed. There were 2 procedure-related transient complications (11.1%) due to cerebral embolism without permanent morbidity or mortality. During the follow-up, all patients showed improvement of the preprocedural symptoms. At the latest clinical follow-up (mean, 2.7 years), all patients showed an excellent or good outcome (mRS, 0 or 1). In 2 patients (11.1%), a secondary stent placement was needed due to a significant symptomatic in-stent stenosis.ConclusionsPercutaneous and open retrograde stenting of high-grade stenosis of the IA is a viable less invasive alternatives to open bypass surgery with good midterm clinical results and patency rates.
