Infantile dilated cardiomyopathy due to congenital left main coronary ostial stenosis.

Project description:Although a rare form of congenital heart disease, anomalies of the coronary arteries can present as heart failure in infants. The most common lesion is an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery, but other abnormalities can present similarly. This case is an infant who is found to have left coronary ostial stenosis causing dilated cardiomyopathy.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Calcified Left Main Artery Disease.

Project description:Left main coronary artery disease subtends a large area of potentially jeopardized myocardium. Percutaneous coronary intervention for severe left main coronary artery disease is a reasonable treatment option for select patients. Severe coronary artery calcium of the left main artery increases the complexity of percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with increased risk of periprocedural complications and worse long-term clinical outcomes. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) utilizes sonic pressure waves to modify severe coronary artery calcium and has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to coronary atherectomy. However, left main lesions were excluded from regulatory approval clinical trials of IVL. Herein, we review all available data regarding the use of IVL treatment for severe left main coronary artery disease.

Renal Artery Stenosis Treated Successfully With Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy.

Project description:Renal artery stenosis (RAS) typically involves varying degrees of calcification, and treatment can be fraught with risk and suboptimal results. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) uses shockwaves to fragment calcium to facilitate angioplasty. We present a case of severe bilateral RAS successfully treated with IVL and stenting after conventional methods had failed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

An echocardiographic clue for ostial left main coronary artery stenosis.

Project description:Calcified nodules in human coronary arteries are usually focally distributed. Non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries by bedside emergency transthoracic echocardiography in adults is possible and may become a useful adjunct to other methods of coronary artery examination. Coronary artery stenosis can be identified as localized color aliasing and accelerated flow velocities. Complete visualization of individual ostial coronary segments might ease the demonstration of coronary stenosis by bedside transthoracic echocardiography. The left main coronary artery stenosis requires prompt emergency evaluation and treatment because emergency conditions have higher mortality rates. The authors wish to emphasize the usefulness of emergency bedside echo-Doppler for a prompt diagnosis and treatment of this life-threatening condition.

Novel use of intravascular lithotripsy for coral reef aorta: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe coral reef aorta (CRA) is a rare disease of extreme calcification in the juxtarenal aorta. These heavily calcified exophytic plaques grow into the lumen and can cause significant stenoses, leading to visceral ischaemia, renovascular hypertension, and claudication. Surgery or percutaneous intervention with stenting carries a high risk of complications and mortality.Case summaryA 67-year-old female had presented with severe hypertension and exercise limiting claudication for 18 months. On evaluation, she was found to have severe bilateral renal artery stenoses with juxtarenal CRA causing subtotal occlusion. Both renal arteries were stented. For CRA, we used intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) assisted plain balloon angioplasty to minimize possibilities of major dissection and perforation and avoided chimney stent-grafts required to protect visceral and renal arteries. We used a double-balloon technique using a 6 × 60 mm IVL Shockwave M5 catheter and a 9 × 30 mm simple peripheral balloon catheter, inflated simultaneously at the site of CRA as parallel, hugging balloons to have an effective delivery of IVL. Shockwaves were given in juxta/infrarenal aorta to have satisfactory dilatation without any complication. The gradient across aortic narrowing reduced from 80 to 4 mmHg. She had an uneventful recovery and has remained asymptomatic at 6-month follow-up.DiscussionWhen CRA is juxtarenal with no safe landing zones for stent-grafts, IVL may be a safe, less complex and effective alternative to the use of juxtarenal aortic stent-graft with multiple chimney or snorkel stent-grafts. This is the first report of a novel use of IVL to treat CRA.

Can Most Calcified Coronary Stenosis Be Optimized With Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy?

Project description:Intravascular lithotripsy can be used as an effective therapy for lesion preparation in severely calcified lesions. The mechanism, as shown by optical coherence tomography, is calcium fractures. The aforementioned modification is performed with minimal risk of perforation, no-reflow and a low incidence of flow-limiting dissection and myocardial infarctions. Other techniques, such as cutting or scoring balloons and rotational atherectomy have also been shown to increase luminal diameter, but other complications, such as distal embolization, induced by these treatment modalities, are a source of concern. This review describes a single-center study of all-comer patients, including those with complex characteristics. This therapy is very effective, with a very low risk of complications. In this article, we characterize the mechanism of action of the intravascular lithotripsy catheter, its optical coherence tomography validation, clinical applications, and comparison with other calcium-modifying technologies, as well as future directions, which can be used to improve the technology.

Coexistence of left main and right coronary artery ostial stenosis: demographic and angiographic features.

Project description:This study was designed to evaluate ostial left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis and investigate concomitant stenotic lesions of LMCA and right coronary arteries (RCA) and their demographic and angiographic features. We evaluated 11,283 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Patients were placed into four groups according to having ostial or nonostial LMCA or RCA stenosis. Significant LMCA stenosis was observed in 242 (8.3%) of the patients, and only 68 (28.1%) of them had significant ostial LMCA stenosis. There was a significant correlation between ostial stenosis of LMCA and RCA (p = 0.03). The frequency of female gender was greater in ostial LMCA and ostial RCA stenosis groups compared with the other groups (p = 0.01). Ostial LMCA and RCA stenosis were related significantly. Both female predominance and coexistence of ostial LMCA and RCA stenosis might have suggest a different pathological ground for this disease.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided shockwave lithotripsy of heavily calcified bilateral renal artery stenosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCalcified lesions represent a hard obstacle to overcome in renal arteries, particularly when renal angioplasty represents the only feasible course of action in the setting of high-risk bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) with refractory systemic hypertension and recurrent flash pulmonary oedema.Case summaryWe herein report a case of symptomatic bilateral severely calcified RAS, treated successfully with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary and peripheral intravascular shockwave lithotripsy systems and stenting.DiscussionIntravascular shockwave lithotripsy is an attractive modality for the treatment of challenging, heavily calcified renal arteries that combines the calcium-disrupting capability of lithotripsy with the familiarity of balloon catheters to facilitate proper stent deployment.
