Surgical removal of part of an occluder to treat iatrogenic coarctation of the aorta: a case report.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Iatrogenic aortic stenosis is a serious complication and potentially fatal due to erosion of the aortic wall. Timely management is necessary to prevent complications. CASE PRESENTATION:A 2-year-old boy underwent surgery to remove part of an Amplatzer occluder after patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device embolization in the thoracic aorta. He exhibited moderate to severe obstruction with erosion of the intimal layer of the aorta caused by the device, part of which was retrieved surgically with restructuring of the thoracic aorta segment and occluder remnant. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSIONS:When possible, retrieving only part of an embolized device can be advocated because it reduces the risk of aortic and pulmonary artery damage.

Infectious stentitis after treatment of coarctation of the aorta: a case report.

Project description:Background:Aortitis is a rare condition that can be caused by inflammatory or infectious aetiologies. The clinical presentation of aortitis includes a heterogeneous range of symptoms and clinical signs. Case summary:We present a 53-year-old man whose medical history included presence of a ventricular septal defect, a bicuspid aortic valve, and coarctation of the aorta. The coarctation was treated with percutaneous stent implantation. One and a half years later, he presented to our hospital with complaints of fatigue, night sweats, and shivers. Physical examination revealed a fever, tachycardia, and hypertension. Imaging studies showed no signs of endocarditis. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed an increase in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake at the distal end of the stent in the descending aorta. Blood cultures revealed a Streptococcus gordonii and antibiotic treatment was adjusted accordingly. The patients' functional status improved quickly, the fever resolved, and the laboratory markers of inflammation returned to normal. Discussion:Aortitis is extremely rare after stent implantation. Risk factors for aortitis include congenital vascular malformation and stent implantation. Computed tomography is currently the imaging study of choice for aortitis, while PET-CT seems ideal for identification of stent infection. Mortality associated with infectious aortitis ranges from 21% to 44%, with generally higher mortality if managed with antibiotics alone. The differential diagnosis of stent infection should be taken into account in patients presenting with fever and chills after previous stent procedures.

A case report on endarteritis in a child with coarctation of aorta.

Project description:Coarctation of aorta(CoA), complicated by endarteritis in a children is very rare. Here we present a case of endarteritis in an unoperated CoA in a four year old boy. CoA had been diagnosed in the referring hospital, yet the diagnosis of endocarditis distal to CoA, was made in the tertiary center using modified transthoracic echo windows or focused views. After six weeks of intravenous antibiotic treatment, a coarctectomy and end-to-end anastomosis was performed and he recovered clinically well. This case report concludes that echocardiography remains as the standard diagnostic method for identifying intracardiac manifestations of infective endocarditis/endarteritis. Last but foremost, it delineates the importance of modified transthoracic echo windows or focused views in identifying the unusual position of endocarditis.

A case report: Amplatzer occluder device closure of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect following radiofrequency ablation.

Project description:BackgroundInterventricular septal perforation is an extremely rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with an incidence of 1%. The most common mechanism is a 'steam pop', which can be described as 'mini-explosions' of gas bubbles. Data for percutaneous repair of cardiac perforations due to RFA are limited.Case summaryA 78-year-old female patient was referred to our department for the treatment of two iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of premature ventricular contractions. One week post-ablation, chest pain and progressive dyspnoea occurred. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a VSD, diameter 10 mm. Hence, iatrogenic, RFA-related myocardial injury was considered the most likely cause of VSD, and the patient was referred to our tertiary care centre for surgical repair. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging demonstrated border-zone oedema of the VSD only and confirmed the absence of necrotic tissue boundaries, and the patient was deemed suitable for percutaneous device closure. Laevocardiography identified an additional, smaller muscular defect that cannot be explained by analysing the Carto-Map. Both defects could be successfully closed percutaneously using two Amplatzer VSD occluder devices.DiscussionIn conclusion, this case demonstrates a successful percutaneous closure of a VSD resulting from RFA using an Amplatzer septal occluder device. CMR might improve tissue characterization of the VSD borders and support the decision if to opt for interventional or surgical closure.

Percutaneous intervention of severe native coarctation of the aorta presenting in pregnancy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoarctation of the aorta (CoA) is one of the more common congenital heart defects affecting up to 5% of patients with congenital heart disease. Pregnant patients with unrepaired or severe re-coarctation are considered to be modified World Health Organisation (mWHO) IV, have the highest risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. The management of unrepaired CoA during pregnancy is influenced by a variety of factors which include the extent of the coarctation and coarctation characteristics, but due to paucity of data, it largely relies on expert opinion.Case summaryA 27 year old multi-gravid woman underwent successful percutaneous stent implantation for severe native CoA due to maternal resistant hypertension and foetal cardiac compromise on echocardiography. After intervention, the remainder of her pregnancy was uneventful with improved arterial hypertension control. The foetal cardiac structures, namely left ventricular size, improved after intervention. This case demonstrates the importance of CoA intervention during pregnancy to optimise both maternal and foetal outcome.ConclusionCoarctation of the aorta should be considered in pregnant women with poorly controlled hypertension. This case also highlights that, despite associated risks, percutaneous intervention can lead to improved maternal haemodynamics and fetal growth.

A case report of mycotic pseudoaneurysm in childhood: an unusual complication of coarctation of the aorta.

Project description:BackgroundWe report on an unusual case of a 3 year-old girl with coarctation of the aorta complicated by mycotic pseudoaneurysm and infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae.Case summaryThe only symptoms and signs were fever and weak femoral pulses. The echocardiography confirmed a localised isthmic's coarctation. In order to complete the evaluation, a CT scan was performed. This proved crucial in terms of the diagnosis and decision to perform emergency surgery. The diagnosis was confirmed surgically. An aortic rupture was contained by the parietal pleura. Bacteriological analysis of surgical specimens revealed bacterial DNA that tested positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae. The post-operative course was free from any cardiovascular or neurological complications after six weeks of antibiotic therapy.DiscussionSurgical repair of coarctation of the aorta is frequently performed in children. However, complicated forms are less common with a potentially fatal outcome. Indeed, there are no recommendations concerning the management and surgical timing of mycotic pseudoaneurysm. These rare complications should be kept in mind. Although short- and medium-term follow-up of these children is good, caution should be exercised with long-term follow-up because of complications in childhood and adulthood.

Left Ventricular Remodeling After Transcatheter Versus Surgical Therapy in Adults With Coarctation of Aorta.

Project description:ObjectivesThe purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to compare remodeling of left ventricular (LV) structure and function after transcatheter stent therapy with remodeling of LV structure and function after surgical therapy for COA.BackgroundTranscatheter stent therapy is as effective as surgery in producing acute hemodynamic improvement in patients with coarctation of aorta (COA). However, LV remodeling after transcatheter COA intervention has not been systematically investigated.MethodsLV remodeling was assessed at 1, 3, and 5 years post-intervention by using LV mass index (LVMI), LV end-diastolic dimension, LV ejection fraction, LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), LV mitral annular tissue Doppler early velocity (LVe'), and ratio of mitral inflow pulsed wave Doppler early velocity and e' (E/e') ratio.ResultsThere were 44 patients in the transcatheter group and 128 patients in the surgical group. Compared to the surgical group, the transcatheter group had less regression of LVMI (-4.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -5.5 to -3.7 vs. -7.3; 95% CI: -8.4 to -6.6 g/m2; p < 0.001), less improvement in LVGLS (2.1; 95% CI: 1.8 to 2.4 vs. 2.9; 95% CI: 2.6 to 3.2%; p = 0.024), and in e' (1.0 ; 95% CI: 0.7 to 1.2 vs. 1.5 ; 95% CI: 1.3 to 1.7 cm/s; p = 0.009) at 5 years post-intervention. Exploratory analysis showed a correlation between change in LVMI and LVGLS, and between change in LVMI and mitral annular tissue Doppler early velocity (e'), and this correlations were independent of the type of intervention received.ConclusionsTranscatheter stent therapy was associated with less remodeling of LV structure and function during mid-term follow-up. As transcatheter stent therapy becomes more widely used in the adult COA population, there is a need for ongoing clinical monitoring to determine if these observed differences in LV remodeling translate to differences in clinical outcomes.

An early atherosclerotic change detected by an aortic angioscopy in a young patient with coarctation of the aorta: a case report.

Project description:The patient was a 19-year-old woman who had experienced headache for 1?year. Soon after birth, ventricular septal defects were diagnosed, the size of which were small, therefore not requiring surgical repair. She also noticed hypertension, with up to 184/110?mmHg of blood pressure. Her physical examination revealed a difference in blood pressure between her upper and lower limbs (160/108 and 92/65?mmHg, respectively). A cardiac computed tomography image clearly demonstrated the narrowing of the aortic isthmus. Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) was definitively diagnosed and was the cause of the upper limb hypertension and headache. Cardiac catheterization revealed 3.8?mm of the aortic isthmus and 65?mmHg of the peak-to-peak pressure gradient across the CoA. The patient was offered endovascular therapy of the CoA. A non-covered stent implantation was successfully performed and the pressure gradient across the aortic isthmus disappeared. Her upper limb hypertension also improved. Aortic angioscopy revealed a yellow plaque on the aortic intima, located proximal to the coarctation site, which was exposed owing to high blood pressure. Our case highlights that an atherosclerotic change can develop even in young patients with hypertension. <Learning objective: An aortic angioscope can detect an early atherosclerotic change of aorta, which other imaging modalities such as computed tomography and intravascular ultrasonography cannot show. An early atherosclerosis can develop even in a young patient with hypertension; therefore, coarctation of the aorta should be diagnosed and treated appropriately as soon as possible.>.

A case report: stent implantation to treat coarctation of persistent 5th aortic arch associated with interrupted 4th aortic arch.

Project description:Persistent 5th aortic arch is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually surgically corrected during infancy or early childhood if it is associated with coarctation of the aorta. Here, we report an adult with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch who was successfully treated by stent implantation. An asymptomatic 32-year-old woman presented with hypertension and a significant arm-leg difference in pressure. On suspicion of coarctation of the aorta, a chest computed tomography was performed, leading to a diagnosis of an interrupted 4th aortic arch with coarctation of a persistent 5th aortic arch. Percutaneous catheter intervention using a PALMAZ large stent dilated to 12 mm resulted in a minimal peak-to-peak pressure gradient. The patient was discharged home after a 2-day monitoring without hypertension and arm-leg blood pressure difference. She remained normotensive with a patent aortic arch on echocardiography performed 10 months after treatment. As for simple coarctation of the aorta, stent implantation was feasible and effective in an adult patient with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch.

Iatrogenic popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundPopliteal artery pseudoaneurysm is a state of vascular wall rupture in the popliteal artery. It is generally a rare situation and the most common etiologic factor is iatrogenic causes.Case presentationThis case report presents a successful diagnosis and management of a 31-year-old patient who was presented with a mass behind the knee, three months after femoropopliteal bypass for the treatment of a gunshot to the knee. An endovascular approach using coils was utilized for the patient, which led to complete remission for the patient.DiscussionThe current patient had two primary therapeutic challenges: bleeding and hematoma growth, clot development causing blood flow restriction, and limb ischemia. Pseudoaneurysm also caused internal inflammation, which increased the risk of thrombosis and bypass graft damage during open surgery. Due to the risk of recurrence and graft damage, ultrasound-guided compression was not possible. Thus, endovascular therapy was preferred.ConclusionThe endovascular approach using coils is an option for the management of PAP. However, the endovascular approach should be considered carefully according to the patient's status.

Case report: Surgical strategies of a giant thrombus from the ascending aorta to the arch.

Project description:Large mural thrombi in the relatively normal ascending aorta are extremely uncommon conditions that may lead to major adverse cardiovascular events due to new embolism. Because of their changeable variations, the management of these unstable thrombi is challenging and controversial. The size, morphology, location, embolic involvement, and patients' conditions are all crucial for therapeutic decision-making. Treatment options include anticoagulation, thrombolysis, surgical thrombectomy, and endovascular stenting. Therefore, surgical strategies should be highly individualized. Herein, we present a rare case of a huge thrombus from the ascending aorta to the arch in a 43-year-old man. Considering the high risks of catastrophic embolic events, surgical removal of the aortic mass, thromboendarterectomy, and reconstruction of the arterial wall were performed with a satisfactory outcome. This report illustrates our experience of surgical strategies and perioperative treatments for this challenging case, and contemporary surgical management for mural thrombi in the ascending aorta was also thoroughly discussed.
