Fate of a coronary artery intramural haematoma complicating aortic root surgery: a case report

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Coronary intramural haematoma (CIH) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication during aortic root surgery (such as Bentall procedure). Depending on its extension it can lead to cardiogenic shock. Documented reports of this complication are lacking in literature.

Case summary

In the report we present a case of CIH and its management and we show a stepwise imaging of the healing process that gives an insight of the fate of CIHs.

Discussion

This case raises awareness of CIH as differential diagnosis for myocardial ischaemia during aortic root surgery. It underlines the effectiveness of immediate surgical revascularization, highlights the potential temporary role of coronary artery bypass graft that can stabilize the acute coronary syndrome and may give time to the CIH to reabsorb and native coronary circulation to re-establish.

Rare complication of subacute renal artery intramural haematoma after renal artery stenting: a case report.

Project description:Renal artery intramural haematoma (IMH) is a rare cause of renal artery obstruction after stenting. Diagnosis and treatment are difficult as there are only a few cases reported. We present the case of sudden-onset abdominal pain and non-functional kidney 3 days after renal artery stent implantation. Subacute luminal narrowing of the renal artery was initially diagnosed using computed tomography angiography and renal artery angiography, and a final diagnosis of subacute renal artery IMH was made using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Subsequently, the patient was treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty from far to near and another stent implantation. At the third month follow-up, blood pressure and renal function were normal. This case suggests that IVUS could be useful for qualifying and treating the subacute renal artery IMH.

Juxtaposition of urgent angioplasty results in spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a case report of fresh vs. organized intramural haematoma.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary intramural haematoma from spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) presents as an acute coronary syndrome, usually in young or middle-aged female patients. Conservative management in the absence of ongoing symptoms is best practice, and the artery eventually heals fully.Case summaryA 49-year-old female presented with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Initial angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) demonstrated typical intramural haematoma of the ostial to mid left circumflex artery. Initial conservative management was selected, but the patient developed further chest pain 5 days later and with worsening electrocardiogram changes. Further angiography was carried out demonstrating near-occlusive disease with organized thrombus in the false lumen. The angioplasty result from this is juxtaposed with another acute SCAD case on the same day with fresh intramural haematoma.DiscussionReinfarction is a common occurrence in SCAD, and little is known about how to predict it. These cases demonstrate the appearance on IVUS of fresh vs. organized thrombus and the relative angioplasty result in each case. Follow-up IVUS due to ongoing symptoms in one patient demonstrated significant stent malapposition, not apparent at the index intervention, in all likeliness due to intramural haematoma regression.

Iatrogenic Acute Ascending Aortic Dissection with Intramural Hematoma during Coronary Artery Stenting: A Case Report.

Project description:BackgroundIatrogenic acute ascending aortic dissection during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an exceptionally rare and life-threatening sequel that requires early and accurate diagnosis along with rapid management. No guidelines have yet been established to direct decisions on the different treatment options that can be employed in the setting of acute aortic dissections caused by PCI. However, similar cases have been treated either by intracoronary stenting and conservative management as in localized aortocoronary dissections or by surgical intervention in cases of extensive aortic dissections.Case summaryHereby, we present a rare case of a female patient who developed "full-blown" acute ascending aortic dissection (Stanford type A-DeBakey type II dissection) with intramural hematoma during an elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of the right coronary artery (RCA) and left circumflex artery (LCA). Accordingly, emergent surgical repair of the dissected aorta was performed including grafting of supracoronary ascending aortic tube, along with coronary artery bypass graft placement and septal myomectomy for severely hypertrophied cardiac septum. The patient recovered successfully without any documented postoperative complications.ConclusionIt is pivotal to avoid aggressive use of instrumentation during PTCA in order to prevent the potential development of catheter-induced aortic dissection.

The onset of acute type A aortic dissection following recovery of type B intramural haematoma: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Aortic intramural hematoma is a life-threatening condition reported with increasing frequency. It can be classified into Stanford type A or B depending on whether the ascending or descending aorta are involved, respectively. However, the onset of acute type A aortic dissection following recovery of type B intramural haematoma is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION:We present an uncommon case of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection developing 3?months after recovery of type B IMH in a 47-year-old female. She complained acute chest pain. The operation was successfully done. She was in good condition and asymptomatic at a 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:Type B intramural haematoma can lead to type A aortic dissection even after totally absorbed and the primary entry has the potential to be located in the ascending aorta. Unsatisfied blood pressure control may be the underlying cause.

Left atrial intramural haematoma: a fatal complication of cardiac amyloidosis-a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous left atrial intramural hematoma (LAIH) is extremely rare and there are only two cases of spontaneous LAIH involving cardiac amyloidosis (CA) reported in literature. In both cases, LAIH rapidly compromised hemodynamic stability proving to be a rare yet fatal complication.Case summaryAn 83-year-old man presented with cardiogenic shock. Electrocardiogram showed complete atrioventricular block, and echocardiogram revealed severe hypokinesis and left ventricular hypertrophy. Coronary angiography revealed no significant coronary stenosis and tissue biopsy was taken from the left ventricle. The patient was intubated, placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with intra-aortic balloon pump and temporary pacemaker, and admitted to ICU. Day 6 of admission, he became hemodynamically unstable, and presented with atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiography showed a newly formed large mass in the left atrium. Day 11 of admission, the patient passed away. Autopsy revealed cardiac amyloidosis and showed the mass to be a left atrial intramural hematoma. Diffuse amyloid deposits were found in the myocardium as well as the blood vessel walls of the region surrounding the LAIH.ConclusionLAIH is a rare yet fatal complication of CA. Autopsy revealed diffuse amyloid deposits within the left atrium may lead to left atrial fragility and contribute to development of LAIH. LAIH should be considered as an important differential diagnosis in the setting of a rapidly growing left atrial mass, and in hemodynamic instability in patients with CA.

Emergency pericardial drainage without aortic repair for type A intramural haematoma complicated by cardiac tamponade.

Project description:From April 2011 to March 2020, 87 patients with type A intramural haematoma and acute aortic dissection with thrombosed false lumen of the ascending aorta were treated at Kitasato University Hospital. The initial watch-and-wait strategy without emergency aortic repair was taken in 52 cases in which the maximum aortic diameter was ≤50 mm, pain score on arrival at our hospital was ≤3/10 on the numerical rating scale and there was no ulcer-like projection (ULP) in the ascending aorta. Eleven patients who fulfilled the criteria but developed cardiac tamponade underwent emergency pericardial drainage without aortic repair. Among these 11 patients, 3 patients developed an aortic event during the hospitalization; 1 patient developed enlargement of the ULP 18 days later but refused surgery, another patient developed rupture of the dissected brachiocephalic artery 4 days later and underwent emergency repair of the ascending aorta and the brachiocephalic artery and the other patient developed a new ULP in the ascending aorta 14 days later and underwent aortic repair. All 11 patients were discharged home. During follow-up (3.0 ± 2.4 years), 1 patient developed a recurrent type A acute aortic dissection and underwent emergency aortic repair 29 months later. There was no aorta-related death.

Giant aortic root pseudoaneurysm surrounding the left main coronary artery.

Project description:A 69-year-old patient underwent an urgent aortic valve replacement because of Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis of his native aortic valve. Since a rapid progression of the former abscess cavity into an aortic root pseudoaneurysm with increasing paravalvular regurgitation during postoperative follow-up, reoperation was performed. In the preoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) images the pseudoaneurysm completely surrounds the left coronary artery (LCA) without any signs of myocardial ischemia.

Spontaneous coronary artery wall haematoma: success of conservative management despite alarming extension: a case report.

Project description:Background:Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a particular mode of presentation of acute coronary syndrome. It preferentially affects the young woman with little or no classical risk factor for atheromatous disease. Case summary:In this report, we present a classical non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) condition in link with a spontaneous coronary artery wall haematoma. A 43-year-old female patient who did not have any risk factors for atheromatous disease presented with NSTEMI. The coronary angiogram (CA) revealed a moderate smooth stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) that ended just before the take-off of a septal branch. Intracoronary imaging by optical coherence tomography (OCT) visualized a large intramural haematoma reducing the coronary artery lumen. The patient was managed conservatively with antithrombotic regimen, nitrates, and close monitoring with repeated CA. Evolution was favourable despite striking extension of coronary haematoma towards distal LAD. She was then discharged and has been asymptomatic on follow-up visits. Planned repeat CA and OCT at 3?months showed a quite normal coronary artery appearance of the LAD with significant regression of haematoma. Discussion:Precise data regarding SCAD epidemiology remains to be determined. The angiographic pattern of our case recalls the Type 2 described by Saw team. But OCT was necessary to confirm the diagnosis. We manage our patient conservatively with close monitoring, as largely suggested by current state of the art, regarding the good haemodynamic status, and absence of ongoing ischaemia despite an evolution severe stenosis.
