Unusual left ventricle to left atrial fistula.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular to left atrial fi stula is a very uncommon finding. Most of the cases are secondary to surgical procedures or paravalvular infectious process. The present case depicted an unusual regurgitation (apart from transmitral MR) through LV-LA fistula causing deterioration of the patient's symptoms.

Coronary artery fistula draining into the left ventricle.

Project description:We present a case of 48-year-old male who presented with coronary artery fistula draining into left ventricle. Transthoracic echocardiography showed abnormal blood flow draining into left ventricle, with enlarged coronary arteries and multiple vascular structures around ventricular myocardium. Coronary computed tomography revealed dilatation of entire left coronary artery which was wrapping around left ventricle, and draining into the posterior side of left ventricle. He did not undergo any invasive treatment, because he was not symptomatic.

Unguarded left atrioventricular orifice: An unusual cause of hypoplastic left ventricle and double-outlet right ventricle with intact ventricular septum.

Project description:An unguarded atrioventricular orifice is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of the atrioventricular valve in varying proportions. While atresia of the mitral or aortic valves are usually described as causes for hypoplastic left heart, our case highlights the role of free atrioventricular valve regurgitation and consequent volume loss of the left heart, giving rise to a small left ventricle. There was an associated double-outlet right ventricle and Type B aortic interruption. While we have attempted to discuss the complex management options in this scenario, the parents decided to withdraw further care.

Left atrial-esophageal fistula repair after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Left atrial-esophageal fistula (LAEF) is a rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures undertaken for atrial fibrillation (AF). This complication is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no clear consensus on the appropriate management strategy. We report a case of a LAEF that developed in a patient 2 weeks after RFA for medication refractory AF. The patient underwent successful repair of the fistula through a left posterolateral thoracotomy, wherein the esophageal and atrial lesions were repaired primarily with an intercostal muscle flap and bovine pericardial patch to reinforce and prevent recurrence.

Percutaneous closure of large pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula.

Project description:Pulmonary artery to the left atrial fistula is a rare anomaly. Two young males presented with effort intolerance and cyanosis and had large pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula from right and left pulmonary artery, respectively. The right-sided fistula was closed with a large duct occluder device in transseptal approach whereas the left-sided fistula was closed with a large muscular ventricular septal device. Complete occlusion and symptomatic relief was achieved in both cases. In the follow up the patients were doing well.

Transcatheter Closure of Left Ventricle to Coronary Sinus Fistula Post-MVR and Septal Myectomy.

Project description:This paper describes the case of a patient who developed refractory heart failure due to a fistula from the left ventricle to the coronary sinus that was unintentionally created after a surgical myectomy and mitral valve replacement. Advanced image guidance with a pre-procedure 3-dimensional physical model and intraprocedure echocardiography fusion facilitated transcatheter plugging of the shunt with symptom resolution. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A case report of an unusual left atrial mass.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac foreign bodies (FBs) are rare findings that may present as cardiac masses initially. Here, we present an exceptional and rare case of a hypodermic needle FB that transmigrated to the left atrium and presented as a left atrial mass.Case summaryA 28-year-old woman with multiple psychiatric disorders including intentional FB ingestion and self-inflicting injuries presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and chest pain that radiated to the left arm and face for 2 weeks. An echocardiogram was performed revealing a left atrial mass concerning for myxoma. During the surgical removal of the mass, a hypodermic needle was found attached to the roof of the left atrium surrounded by thrombotic and fibrotic tissue, which was confirmed by pathology.DiscussionCardiac FBs are caused generally by penetrating wounds from direct trauma. Fewer cases have been reported regarding cardiac FB caused by ingestion from migration of the object to the heart. Signs and symptoms for cardiac FB may mimic those of cardiac masses. Cardiac FBs often require surgical intervention to avoid complications.

Infective Endocarditis of the Left Main to Right Atrial Coronary Cameral Fistula.

Project description:A 7-year-old female child presented with pyrexia of unknown origin. She had received an empirical regimen of antibiotic for possible endocarditis. Evaluation included multiple imaging supports and blood culture. She had left main coronary artery to right atrium coronary cameral fistula, restricted patent ductus arteriosus, vegetation at the right atrial exit of fistula and negative blood culture. Ongoing fever more than 2 weeks, oscillating vegetation in the echo and histopathological evidence of healing vegetation suggested definite diagnosis of infective endocarditis. She was treated successfully by surgical closure of fistula from the right atrial approach. Device closure in this case would have resulted in a large residual cul-de-sac with or without tiny residual high-velocity jets, either being a threat for future enlargement, rupture of the residual aneurysmal sac, thromboembolism, prolonged anticoagulation, and infective endocarditis.
