Iatrogenic pericardial defect.

ABSTRACT: Pericardial defects are uncommon, usually congenital, and frequently involve a complete absence of the pericardium. Partial pericardial defects are more likely to result in complications. Iatrogenic pericardial defects are usually partial defects and may present with cardiac strangulation. We present the case of an iatrogenic pericardial defect in an asymptomatic 20-year-old female.

Intra-pericardial thrombin injection as bailout strategy in iatrogenic pericardial tamponade.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac tamponade is a rare but life-threatening complication of cardiac interventions. Despite prompt pericardiocentesis, clinical management can be challenging and sometimes haemodynamic stabilisation is difficult to achieve. Intra-pericardial thrombin injection after pericardiocentesis promotes haemostasis and acts as a sealing agent, as previously described for left ventricular free-wall rupture. We aimed to evaluate intra-pericardial thrombin injection as a bailout strategy for pericardial tamponade following percutaneous cardiac interventions.MethodsIn a 5-year single-centre retrospective analysis we identified 31 patients with cardiac tamponade due to percutaneous intracardiac procedures. Intra-pericardial thrombin injection as a bailout strategy was administered in 5 of 31 patients (16.1%).ResultsPatients receiving intra-pericardial thrombin were in a more critical state when thrombin was applied, as demonstrated by a higher rate of resuscitation (40% versus 26.9%) and a trend toward a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (177.6 ± 84.0 vs 98.0 ± 31.4 h). None of the patients with pericardial tamponades treated with intra-pericardial thrombin needed cardiothoracic surgery. Mortality after 30 days was lower with intra-pericardial thrombin injection than with standard treatment (0% vs 15.4%). We observed no complications using intra-pericardial thrombin.ConclusionIntra-pericardial thrombin injection could be considered as a bailout strategy for patients with iatrogenic pericardial tamponade due to percutaneous procedures. We recommend further evaluation of this technique in the clinical management of refractory pericardial tamponade.

Transcatheter closure of complex iatrogenic ventricular septal defect: a case report.

Project description:Background:Iatrogenic membranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are rare complications of cardiothoracic surgery, such as septal myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Transcatheter closure is considered an appealing alternative to surgery, given the increased mortality associated with repeated surgical procedures, but reports are extremely limited. Case summary:We herein report the case of a 63-year-old woman with HOCM who underwent successful percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic VSD after septal myectomy. Two percutaneous techniques are discussed, namely the 'muscular anchoring' and the 'buddy wire delivery', aimed at increasing support and providing stability to the system during percutaneous intervention. Discussion:Transcatheter closure represents an attractive minimally invasive approach for the management of symptomatic iatrogenic VSDs. The new techniques described could help operators to cross tortuous and tunnelled defects and to deploy closure devices in case of complex VSD anatomy.

Cardiac Strangulation Due to Partial Pericardial Defect Presenting as Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:A 79-year-old man with chest pain and dyspnea underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction. However, he died 17 days later due to refractory heart failure. An autopsy revealed cardiac strangulation caused by herniation of the apical heart through a pericardial defect due to partial absence of the pericardium. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect following transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Project description:Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been increasingly used in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for conventional open heart surgery. However, it might be associated with serious complications. We report a case with an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect as a rare complication following TAVI procedure. <Learning objective: To highlight a rare complication of iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure and its treatment with percutaneous interventional VSD closure.>.

Closure of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect using a hybrid approach and echocardiographic guidance.

Project description:Treatment of postsurgical iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) remains a challenge. Surgical closure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A peripheral accessed percutaneous approach is faced with difficulties of gaining adequate access and complex positioning in a beating heart. We report a case of using a hybrid approach to treat iatrogenic VSD with surgical right atriotomy and delivery of an Amplatzer system under direct visualization and transesophageal echocardiography guidance.

Closure of Iatrogenic Atrial Septal Defect After Placement of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device.

Project description:An 86-year-old woman experienced hypoxia with right-to-left flow across an iatrogenic atrial septal defect after deployment of a left atrial appendage closure device. Emergent closure of the defect was performed with an atrial septal occluder device with resolution of hypoxia. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Iatrogenic aortic regurgitation following primary closure of ventricular septal defect: Role of transesophageal echocardiography.

Project description:Iatrogenic valvular regurgitation following cardiac surgery has been reported as a result of leaflet perforation or entrapment. Due to its central location, the aortic valve is one of the most vulnerable structures for iatrogenic injuries. Proper assessment of the aortic valve by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) should be done after a cardiac surgery in the periaortic area. We hereby report a case of iatrogenic aortic regurgitation which was developed after primary closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect. It was timely diagnosed by TEE after termination of cardiopulmonary bypass and helped in further management.

A case report: Amplatzer occluder device closure of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect following radiofrequency ablation.

Project description:BackgroundInterventricular septal perforation is an extremely rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with an incidence of 1%. The most common mechanism is a 'steam pop', which can be described as 'mini-explosions' of gas bubbles. Data for percutaneous repair of cardiac perforations due to RFA are limited.Case summaryA 78-year-old female patient was referred to our department for the treatment of two iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of premature ventricular contractions. One week post-ablation, chest pain and progressive dyspnoea occurred. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a VSD, diameter 10 mm. Hence, iatrogenic, RFA-related myocardial injury was considered the most likely cause of VSD, and the patient was referred to our tertiary care centre for surgical repair. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging demonstrated border-zone oedema of the VSD only and confirmed the absence of necrotic tissue boundaries, and the patient was deemed suitable for percutaneous device closure. Laevocardiography identified an additional, smaller muscular defect that cannot be explained by analysing the Carto-Map. Both defects could be successfully closed percutaneously using two Amplatzer VSD occluder devices.DiscussionIn conclusion, this case demonstrates a successful percutaneous closure of a VSD resulting from RFA using an Amplatzer septal occluder device. CMR might improve tissue characterization of the VSD borders and support the decision if to opt for interventional or surgical closure.
