Mahaim fiber connecting the right atrium to the left ventricle: a case report.

ABSTRACT: In the majority of cases presenting with the Mahaim fiber (MF), the MF connects the lateral right atrium (RA) to the right bundle branch or the right ventricle. We present the case of a 33-year-old man with antidromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia using MF connected to the septal RA and left ventricle (LV). Although the Mahaim potential was recorded at the septal RA, ablation at this site could not eliminate the MF and had a potential risk of injury to the atrioventricular node. Additional application at the posterior septal LV achieved successful MF ablation.

Case Report: Reconstruction of the Right Atrium With the Left Atrial Appendage.

Project description:We herein present a case of infective endocarditis of the mitral valve and a paravalvular abscess around the tricuspid valve. Preoperative blood culture confirmed the presence of pathogenic diphtheroids. During the operation, an unexpected infection of the free wall of the right atrium (RA) near the tricuspid annulus was found. We harvested the left atrial appendage (LAA) en bloc. After resection of the infected and abnormal tissues, the resected LAA was used to reconstruct the RA. The infected mitral valve was replaced with a mechanical valve without any accident. Postoperative echocardiography showed that the RA had a supple shape, with no kinking.

Coronary steal phenomenon following right ventricle decompression and revascularization of atretic left coronary ostium: case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary steal phenomenon and myocardial ischemia is a complication following decompression of a hypertensive right ventricle in patients with left coronary-cameral fistulae.Case presentationWe present a 12-year-old girl with a complex heart defect successfully operated on using a hybrid surgical-interventional approach to decompress the ventricle, embolize the fistula and reconstruct the atretic left coronary ostium.ConclusionsA novel hybrid strategy is the best solution for coronary-cameral fistulas reliant on high ventricular pressure at high risk for coronary steal phenomenon.

Different reverse remodelling between left ventricle and right ventricle in fulminant heart failure due to giant cell myocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundGiant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare cause of fulminant heart failure (HF). The most common presentation is progressive hemodynamic deterioration, and a few cases present with idiopathic complete atrioventricular block (cAVB). The prognosis of GCM is poor, and GCM patients usually die of HF and ventricular arrhythmia unless cardiac transplantation is performed. Few reports have described the effects of treatments such as immunosuppression and detailed reverse remodelling in GCM patients.Case summaryA 69-year-old female presented with cAVB. Transvenous pacemaker was implanted via the left subclavian vein. One and a half months later, she exhibited left ventricular dyssynchrony and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), resulting in hospitalization for HF. She received cardiac resynchronization therapy; however, this had no apparently positive effects on her cardiac function. To investigate the cause of the lower LVEF, an endomyocardial biopsy was taken from the right ventricular septum. She was diagnosed with GCM and immediately received immunosuppression therapy with prednisolone and ciclosporin. This resulted in the functional recovery of the right ventricle; on the other hand, the left ventricle had still not recovered based on transthoracic echocardiography. Fortunately, she successfully recovered from severe HF without recurrence.DiscussionThis is a case of fulminant HF due to GCM which initially presented as cAVB. Moreover, this case demonstrates the quite difference of the functional recovery between the left ventricle and the right ventricle with immunosuppression therapy.

Right Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm Protruding Into the Right Ventricle: A Case Report.

Project description:A separation between the aortic media and annulus fibrosus causes a rare cardiac abnormality called sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) that may be congenital or acquired. It is more prevalent in the right coronary sinus (65%-85%) but it has been seen rarely in non-coronary (10%-30%) or Left coronary sinus (<5%). The most common complication is rupture of the Aneurysm. We present an 80-year-old male with expanding right Valsalva sinus aneurysm and protruding into right ventricle. The conventional treatment is surgical repair under cardio-pulmonary bypass or percutaneous catheter closure. The aneurysm was successfully excised surgically under direct guidance of trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE).

When the left atrium becomes a monster: a case report.

Project description:Background:Congenital left atrium (LA) aneurysms are extremely rare entities in clinical practice and most frequently involve the atrial appendage and rarely arise from the body of LA, We report a case of giant LA aneurysm compressing heart and presenting in a very late stage. Case summary:A 31-year-old male, who was diagnosed to have dextrocardia, rheumatic heart disease, and atrial fibrillation and was kept on medical treatment long time ago, presented with congestive heart failure symptoms and cardiogenic shock. Emergency transthoracic echocardiography was done revealing situs solitus with aneurysmally dilated LA pushing heart to the right side (dextro-posed heart), moderate mitral regurgitation, and severe pulmonary hypertension, however, pulmonary artery anatomy could not be properly visualized so computed tomography (CT) was preformed confirming diagnosis and revealing compressed pulmonary arterial tree by the dilated LA, unfortunately patient died before proceeding to surgical intervention. Discussion:Congenital left atrial aneurysms are extremely rare anomaly and may be associated with significant morbidity. And, therefore, should be remembered as a potential anatomic cause of atrial arrhythmias or embolic phenomena, or both. The diagnosis may be easily established through non-invasive complementary techniques, such as echocardiography, CT, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Symptomatic patients, those with large aneurysm or compelling indications for surgery should undergo surgical resection.

Percutaneous closure of accidental left atrium puncture: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMinimally invasive alternatives to surgical closure of cardiac perforations are a recognized need, especially in critically ill patients in whom predicted surgical mortality is prohibitive. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an iatrogenic left atrium (LA) puncture closed with a plug-based vascular closure device (VCD).Case summaryDuring a palliative right-sided thoracentesis on a 73-year-old woman, with end-stage heart failure due to rheumatic valvular heart disease, an accidental puncture and insertion of a central venous catheter into an aneurysmatic LA occurred. This complication was successfully managed percutaneously, under transthoracic echocardiographic guidance, after cardiac computed tomography planning, using a plug-based VCD.DiscussionThis case demonstrates the possible utility of plug-based devices for iatrogenic LA perforation closure, when surgical risk is deemed prohibitive.

Metastatic chordoma to the left ventricle: A case report.

Project description:Chordoma is a rare neoplasm of bone that develops from the remnants of the primitive notochord. We present a 78-year-old woman with metastatic chordoma to the left ventricle. She had been diagnosed with sacral chordoma 5 years earlier, and chordoma gradually spread to numerous muscles, the ankle joint of the left leg, bilateral lungs, and the brain, despite repeated surgical excisions and carbon heavy-ion radiotherapy. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed an abnormal accumulation in the heart, with features similar to the other metastatic lesions. Transthoracic echocardiography could not provide a clear view of the heart, but multidetector computed tomography revealed that a giant abnormal mass was attached to the apical inferior segment of the left ventricle. The patient stated that she did not want to undergo surgical resection for the cardiac mass. The chordoma has been slowly increasing in size, but she has remained asymptomatic without cardiovascular events for more than a year since the diagnosis of cardiac metastasis. <Learning objective: Multidetector computed tomography provided information not only about the structure morphology of the left ventricular mass, but also about the pathological features using the attenuation values of computed tomography, enabling us to make a diagnosis of a metastatic lesion to the left ventricle from sacral chordoma.>.
