Myocardial ischaemia caused by bilateral coronary ostial stenosis from pseudointimal membranes in a full root freestyle valve: a case report

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Coronary artery ostial stenosis is a rare but well-known complication to aortic root replacement. The occurrence of this complication in patients with the Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis is poorly described. We report a case of late bilateral coronary ostial stenosis due to pseudointimal membranes within a Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis, resulting in acute coronary syndrome.

Case summary

In 2013, a 43-year-old male patient received a Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis as a full aortic root implantation due to endocarditis with root abscess. Preoperative coronary angiography was normal. The patient, who had no previous symptoms of coronary ischaemia, presented with severe chest pain and acute coronary syndrome in 2017. Coronary angiography and electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography showed bilateral coronary ostial stenosis. The patient was successfully treated with coronary artery bypass grafting. Intraoperative inspection revealed pseudointimal membranes covering the coronary ostia. Histology showed fibro-intimal thickening with areas of inflamed granulation tissue.

Discussion

Bilateral coronary ostial stenosis is a severe, potentially life-threatening condition, and a possible complication to implantation of the Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis as a full root. The phenomenon may occur late and should be distinguished from arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Left coronary ostial stenosis developing 15 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with balloon-expandable valve.

Project description:We present the case of an 82-year-old man whose left coronary ostium became obstructed 15 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable valve. The patient underwent TAVR for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis with no complications. Fifteen months after the initial TAVR, the patient complained of chest pain while exercising, and the exercise stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy demonstrated the development of regional myocardial ischemia in the region of the left coronary artery. Coronary angiography implied severe stenosis in the ostium of the left coronary artery. Computed tomography angiography and intravascular ultrasonography indicated a soft tissue component along with stent struts, which was considered to cause delayed coronary obstruction. Our report emphasizes the importance of having a low threshold for clinically suspecting delayed coronary obstruction in patients who have undergone TAVR, even after several years of the procedure. <Learning objective:Delayed coronary obstruction (DCO) should be suspected in patients presenting with new ischemic symptoms after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). DCO may occur even in the case of TAVR with a balloon-expandable prosthetic valve, on antithrombotic regimens, and several years after the initial procedure.>.

A less invasive surgery using a full-endoscopic system for L5 nerve root compression caused by lumbar foraminal stenosis.

Project description:Background:Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a relatively less invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). This study investigated the usefulness of a full-endoscopic system for PELD to treat L5 nerve root compression caused by lumbar foraminal stenosis (L5-LFS). Methods:Between November 2016 and December 2017, a total of 10 patients with unilateral leg pain due to L5-LFS underwent surgery using a full-endoscopic system for PELD. Patients with bilateral L5-LFS or L5-LFS with coexisting LDH and/or spondylolysis were excluded from this study. A percutaneous endoscopic translaminar approach (PETA) was performed via the ipsilateral vertebral isthmus using a 3.5-mm diameter high-speed drill. Preoperative and postoperative statuses were evaluated using the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores. Results:The patients' mean age was 62.2 years; there were 7 male and 3 female patients. The mean recovery rate was 58.2% with the mJOA score; mean pre- and postoperative NRS scores were 7.4 and 2.3, respectively. The mean operative time was 77.6 min. Although there were no major complications, pain did not improve in an 80-year-old woman with coexisting spondylolisthesis (Meyerding grade 2). Conclusions:PETA using a full-endoscopic system is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for L5-LFS, with potential to be an alternative surgical strategy for L5-S1 interbody fusion.

Syphilitic aortitis and ostial coronary stenosis treated by endarterectomy, bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement: a case report

Project description:Background Syphilitic ostial coronary stenosis is an uncommon manifestation of cardiovascular syphilis, characterized by concomitant aortic regurgitation and isolated or bilateral ostial involvement. Although much has been written about syphilis in the pre-antibiotic era, the key imaging and operative findings were rarely reported in the modern literature. Through multimodality imaging and operative videos, we demonstrate the unique diagnostic and therapeutic hurdles associated with the condition. Case Description A 47-year-old woman presented with acute decompensated heart failure due to bilateral ostial coronary stenosis and severe aortic insufficiency, which raises suspicion for underlying syphilis. She underwent successful aortic valve replacement, right coronary ostioplasty and bypass grafting of the left coronary system. The syphilitic process was confirmed by histopathological examination of the aortic valve and aortic wall as well as serological tests. She recovered from the operation uneventfully. Conclusions The manifestations of cardiovascular syphilis are protean and can pose significant diagnostic challenges even in the modern era. The presence of isolated coronary ostial stenosis should raise suspicion for syphilis. Timely surgery and antibiotics can lead to successful outcomes. Furthermore, the evolution and nuances of surgical techniques addressing ostial coronary stenosis was reviewed. Surgical strategy should be individualized based on preoperative multimodality imaging.

A case of severe aortic stenosis caused by unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve.

Project description:Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is an extremely rare congenital malformation that frequently presents with valvular dysfunction or aortic aneurysm. Here we report the case of a 49-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis caused by UAV requiring the Bentall procedure. Two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography revealed an eccentric opening in an aortic valve and a lateral attachment to the aorta at the orifice level, suggestive of which is consistent with unicommissural UAV as conﬁrmed by surgical ﬁndings. <Learning objective: We report a rare case of unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) requiring the Bentall procedure. This case demonstrates the utility of two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in revealing the morphology of UAV, as conﬁrmed by surgical ﬁndings.>.

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.

Improvement of aortic valve stenosis by ApoA-I mimetic therapy is associated with decreased aortic root and valve remodelling in mice.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We have shown that infusions of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) mimetic peptide induced regression of aortic valve stenosis (AVS) in rabbits. This study aimed at determining the effects of ApoA-I mimetic therapy in mice with calcific or fibrotic AVS. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE(-/-) ) mice and mice with Werner progeria gene deletion (Wrn(?hel/?hel) ) received high-fat diets for 20 weeks. After developing AVS, mice were randomized to receive saline (placebo group) or ApoA-I mimetic peptide infusions (ApoA-I treated groups, 100?mg·kg(-1) for ApoE(-/-) mice; 50?mg·kg(-1) for Wrn mice), three times per week for 4 weeks. We evaluated effects on AVS using serial echocardiograms and valve histology. KEY RESULTS: Aortic valve area (AVA) increased in both ApoE(-/-) and Wrn mice treated with the ApoA-I mimetic compared with placebo. Maximal sinus wall thickness was lower in ApoA-I treated ApoE(-/-) mice. The type I/III collagen ratio was lower in the sinus wall of ApoA-I treated ApoE(-/-) mice compared with placebo. Total collagen content was reduced in aortic valves of ApoA-I treated Wrn mice. Our 3D computer model and numerical simulations confirmed that the reduction in aortic root wall thickness resulted in improved AVA. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: ApoA-I mimetic treatment reduced AVS by decreasing remodelling and fibrosis of the aortic root and valve in mice.
