Exercise cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to assess dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in congenital heart disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in patients with congenital heart disease is usually assessed using echocardiographic peak instantaneous gradient at rest. Since right ventricular outflow tract obstruction may change during exercise (dynamic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction), we present a case emphasizing the potential use of exercise cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Case summary

We discuss a 15-year-old patient with repaired mid-ventricular sub-pulmonary stenosis type double-chambered right ventricle causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and symptoms on exertion. In this case, exercise CMR imaging provided additional information, allowing adequate surgical planning.

Discussion

The additional value of exercise CMR imaging in a case of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was described. Although exercise cardiac magnetic resonance imaging did not show a significant increase in peak gradient across the right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, shifting and D-shaping of the interventricular septum with subsequent insufficient left ventricular filling (preload) was observed in the patient with recurrent double-chambered right ventricle. This case demonstrates how exercise CMR imaging can be helpful in the clinical decision beyond standard echocardiographic evaluation by providing additional evidence of adverse haemodynamics during exercise.

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to a leiomyosarcoma.

Project description:A 65-year-old female presenting with worsening dyspnea and notable weight loss were found to have a systolic murmur on physical examination. On workup with computed tomography (CT) angiogram, a solid mass was found extending from the inferior vena cava into the right ventricle. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated this mass extension causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. After surgical removal, the pathology of the mass was endometrial leiomyosarcoma.

Subpulmonary membrane: A rare cause of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Subpulmonary membrane is a rare cause of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and only a few case reports exist with or without associated ventricular septal defect. We report a series of three cases with subpulmonary membrane causing RVOT obstruction. Two of these have been operated (the first case operated after unsuccessful attempt at balloon dilatation), and the third case is on follow-up at present.

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundRight ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a cause of hemodynamic instability that can occur in several situations, including cardiac surgery, lung transplantation, and thoracic surgery, and in critically ill patients. The timely diagnosis of RVOTO is important because it requires specific considerations, including the adverse effects of positive inotropes, and depending on the etiology, the requirement for urgent surgical intervention.MethodsThe objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of RVOTO in adult patients, and the distribution of all reported cases by etiology.ResultsOf 233 available reports, there were 229 case reports or series, and 4 retrospective cohort studies, with one study also reporting a prospective cohort. Of 291 reported cases of RVOTO, 61 (21%) were congenital, 56 (19%) were iatrogenic, and 174 (60%) were neither congenital nor iatrogenic (including intracardiac tumour). The mechanism of RVOTO was an intrinsic obstruction in 169 cases (58%), and an extrinsic obstruction in 122 cases (42%). A mechanical obstruction causing RVOTO was present in 262 cases (90%), and 29 cases of dynamic RVOTO (10%) were reported. In the 5 included cohorts, with a total of 1122 patients, the overall prevalence was estimated to be 4.0% (1%-9%).ConclusionsRVOTO, though rare, remains clinically important, and therefore, multicentre studies are warranted to better understand the prevalence, causes, and consequences of RVOTO.

Association of common variants in ERBB4 with congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction defects.

Project description:BackgroundThe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) defects aortic valve stenosis (AVS), coarctation of the aorta (COA), and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) represent an embryologically related group of congenital cardiovascular malformations. They are common and cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Prior evidence suggests a strong genetic component in their causation.MethodsWe selected NRG1, ERBB3, and ERBB4 of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway as candidate genes for investigation of association with LVOT defects based on the importance of this pathway in cardiac development and the phenotypes in knockout mouse models. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was performed on 343 affected case-parent trios of European ancestry.ResultsWe identified a specific haplotype in intron 3 of ERBB4 that was positively associated with the combined LVOT defects phenotype (p=0.0005) and in each anatomic defect AVS, COA, and HLHS separately. Mutation screening of individuals with an LVOT defect failed to identify a coding sequence or splice site change in ERBB4. RT-PCR on lymphoblastoid cells from LVOT subjects did not show altered splice variant ratios among those homozygous for the associated haplotype.ConclusionThese results suggest ERBB4 is associated with LVOT defects. Further replication will be required in separate cohorts to confirm the consistency of the observed association.

A surgical mouse model of neonatal right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by pulmonary artery banding

Project description:Disease animal models play an extremely important role in preclinical research. Lack of corresponding animal models, many basic research cannot be carried out, and the conclusions obtained are incomplete or even incorrect. Right ventricular (RV) outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction leads to RV pressure overload (PO) and reduced pulmonary blood flow (RPF), which are two of the most important pathophysiological characteristics in pediatric cardiovascular diseases, and seriously affect the survival rate and long-term life quality of many children. Due to the lack of a neonatal mouse model for RVOT obstruction, it is largely unknown how RV PO and RPF regulate postnatal RV and pulmonary development. Thus, many treatment are directly applied from adults despite significant differences in cardiovascular physiology between infants and adults, with limited or even harmful results. Here we firstly introduced a neonatal mouse model of RVOT obstruction by pulmonary artery banding (PAB) on postnatal day 1. PAB induced neonatal RVOT obstruction, RV PO, and RPF. Neonatal RV PO induced cardiomyocyte proliferation, and neonatal RPF induced pulmonary dysplasia, the two features that can not be observed in adult RVOT obstruction. As a result, PAB pups exhibited overall developmental dysplasia, a sign similar to that of children with RVOT obstruction. Since many pediatric cardiovascular diseases are associated with RV PO and RPF, the introduction of neonatal mouse model of RVOT obstruction may greatly enhance our understanding of those diseases, and eventually save or improve the lives of many children. We used C57 mice in this study and divided them into sham and PAB group, each group contain 3 replicates.

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in the Intensive Care Unit: A Case Report of 2 Patients.

Project description:Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a rare cause of hemodynamic instability in the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery. We report the first cases of RVOTO diagnosed in the ICU using continuous right ventricular pressure waveform monitoring. Our 2 cases reflect both mechanical and dynamic causes of obstruction, each of which require different approaches to treatment. Inotrope use can exacerbate RVOTO caused by dynamic etiology, whereas surgery is usually the treatment of choice for mechanical obstructions. Inability to recognize RVOTO or the correct etiology can lead to hemodynamic compromise and poor outcomes.
