Severe baffle leak after Takeuchi repair successfully treated with coronary bypass and percutaneous baffle closure: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital abnormality that requires surgical correction.

Case summary

We describe the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of anomalous left coronary artery of the pulmonary artery who presents with exertional angina. She underwent a Takeuchi repair that was complicated by a baffle leak. She was successfully treated with left internal mammary artery-left anterior descending (LAD) bypass grafting and percutaneous baffle leak closure.

Discussion

The Takeuchi procedure involves the creation of an aortopulmonary window and an intrapulmonary tunnel that 'baffles' the aorta to the ostium of the anomalous left coronary artery. The most common late complication of the Takeuchi procedure is the presence of a baffle leak. Percutaneous baffle leak occlusion via vascular plug and coronary bypass of the LAD can successfully treat a baffle leak with excellent short-term follow-up.

Management of severe haemolytic anaemia due to residual small mitral paravalvular leak post-percutaneous closure: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundHaemolytic anaemia is a complication of paravalvular leak (PVL). The correlation between the size of the leak and the severity of haemolysis is unclear. Small leaks can cause severe haemolysis, whereas significant leaks may cause no haemolysis.Case summaryWe report the case of a 40-year-old male who underwent mechanical mitral and aortic valve replacement 20 years ago. In the last 3 years, the procedure was repeated three times due to infective endocarditis. He presented with severe shortness of breath. A transoesophageal echocardiogram with three-dimensional surgical view showed that both discs of the mechanical mitral valve opened sufficiently but a severe PVL had occurred at the 9-12 o'clock position. The location of the mitral valve was abnormal, the sewing ring was inserted high at the mid-interatrial septum. The mechanical aortic valve functioned well. Closure of the transcutaneous PVL was accomplished with two percutaneously implanted devices, leaving a small leak in between. After closure, he developed haemolytic anaemia (haemoglobin: 6 g/dL, lactate dehydrogenase: 1896 units/L, reticulocyte count: 4.6%). He then received 16 units of packed red blood cells. He developed acute kidney injury and was started on haemodialysis. We then installed two additional devices to completely close the mild residual leak and another device to resolve the bidirectional transseptal defect. After 2 days, his renal function returned to normal and anaemia improved (haemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL).DiscussionMild residual paravalvular leak can cause severe haemolytic anaemia that is correctable via percutaneous closure of the leak.

Case report: percutaneous closure of residual leak following left atrial appendage occlusion.

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) using Watchman device has been demonstrated to be efficacious in decreasing stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation who are not suitable for long-term anticoagulation. Residual leaks are frequently encountered following LAAO procedures and their clinical implications and optimal management remain controversial.Case summaryIn this report, we describe a case of peri-Watchman device leak treated successfully with percutaneous device closure using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II device.DiscussionThe clinical implications of peri-device leaks remain controversial with general consensus to continue anticoagulation along with serial imaging for larger leaks (>5 mm). As an alternative strategy, percutaneous closure of these leaks has been attempted in hope of avoiding anticoagulation and minimizing the risk of stroke and should be studied further.

Transcatheter closure for baffle leak after Takeuchi repair of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionAnomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but serious congenital coronary abnormality, Takeuchi repair is an alternative treatment option for this anomaly in certain situations, it is reported that baffle leak is the most common complication after Takeuchi repair, and some of this complication require surgical reoperation.Case presentationIn this case, a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with ALCAPA underwent Takeuchi procedure 6?months ago, 4?months after the procedure, the patient complained of chest pain on exertion and was confirmed to have baffle leak, and then we treated this complication successfully by percutaneous transcatheter closure.DiscussionBaffle leak is the most common complication after Takeuchi procedure of ALCAPA, some of them require surgical reoperation. In this case, we introduce a new method, percutaneous transcatheter closure, to treat the baffle leak. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of transcatheter closure for baffle leak after Takeuchi repair, which may be an alternative treatment option for the baffle leak after Takeuchi repair of this rare congenital coronary anomaly.

Scleroderma myocarditis with severe secondary mitral regurgitation successfully treated with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSystemic sclerosis presents with a variety of cardiac manifestations, while myocarditis is usually a rare finding. Furthermore, there are no reports on the use of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for the treatment of severe ventricular functional mitral regurgitation (vFMR) secondary to scleroderma myocarditis.Case summaryA-79-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of fever and fatigue. His physical examination revealed thickening of the fingertips' skin, Raynaud phenomenon, and mild pedal oedema. Positive anti-centromere antibodies indicated a diagnosis of a limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. He presented with symptoms of heart failure, and moderate to severe lymphocytic infiltration was evident in his endomyocardial biopsy. He responded well to medical therapy and was discharged. However, one month after hospital discharge, he was readmitted to our institution because of worsening heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a decrease in left ventricular systolic function and progression of left ventricular remodelling, which caused severe vFMR. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed decreased lymphocytic infiltration and mild myocardial interstitial fibrosis, indicative of scleroderma myocarditis. As he was unable to be weaned off inotropes, we performed M-TEER for severe vFMR, which led to a significant reduction in MR volume and improvement of heart failure symptoms. A week after procedure, immunosuppressive therapy was initiated and the patient was discharged home in stable condition.DiscussionScleroderma myocarditis may manifest as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with severe vFMR. Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for severe vFMR in the context of myocarditis can be one of the therapeutic options for haemodynamic stabilization.

Esophagocoloplasty fistula successfully treated with vacuum-assisted closure.

Project description:Esophageal fistulas in the cervical region are usually difficult to manage and carry a high morbidity. We report a case of an esophago-colonic fistula after colonic interposition, successfully managed with vacuum-assisted closure 'V.A.C. system', (Kinetic Concepts Inc., San Antonio, TX, USA). The patient initially presented with purulent fluid from the cervical wound 13 days after surgery. Esophagogram confirmed a leak. Since the patient had a history of anastomotic leaks, a surgical intervention was not the treatment of choice. In light of this, conservative treatment with V.A.C. system was initiated. She underwent full recovery.

Percutaneous closure of a coronary artery-to-vein graft anastomotic pseudoaneurysm presenting as acute coronary syndrome after recent coronary artery bypass grafting.

Project description:Pseudoaneurysm formation has been reported in degenerated coronary artery saphenous vein bypass grafts, as well as in native coronary arteries after interventional procedures or blunt trauma. In contrast, pseudoaneurysm formation arising from the anastomotic site of native coronary vessels soon after coronary artery bypass grafting is rare, and neither the clinical presentation of this phenomenon nor its treatment is well described. We present the case of a 63-year-old man, a recent coronary artery bypass grafting patient, who presented with acute coronary syndrome due to a large and expanding pseudoaneurysm of the saphenous vein-to-ramus intermedius artery graft anastomosis. After several attempts, we successfully treated the pseudoaneurysm by means of percutaneous coil embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first report of acute coronary syndrome secondary to a pseudoaneurysm at the coronary artery-saphenous vein graft anastomosis. In addition, this appears to be the first report of the percutaneous treatment of such a pseudoaneurysm by means of coil embolization.

Percutaneous closure of an uncommon aortic pseudoaneurysm after arterial switch repair: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe development of an aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rather rare but potentially fatal complication after cardiac surgery for aortic valve and aorta disease. If a pseudoaneurysm is left untreated, it carries a substantial risk of rupture, thrombosis with subsequently systemic embolization, and compression of the surrounding structures.Case summaryWe describe a case of a transcatheter repair of a more complex and uncommon pseudoaneurysm following aortic valve replacement in a patient with a history of arterial switch repair for transposition of the great arteries. The pseudoaneurysm originated from the aortic wall and connected to the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). The connection to LVOT was closed with a duct occluder, the neck to the aortic wall with an atrial septal defect occluder. After 1 month, the complete pseudoaneurysm was successfully thrombosed.DiscussionPercutaneous closure of a complex pseudoaneurysm after arterial switch repair is feasible and safe. However, lifelong follow-up is needed to determine the late results after transcatheter interventions.

Percutaneous closure of a paravalvular leak from a prosthetic mitral valve dehiscence in a young high-risk patient: case report.

Project description:BackgroundParavalvular leak (PVL) is a common, serious complication related with prosthetic valve replacement. Although surgical closure reoperation is the choice of treatment, percutaneous device closure is a good alternative with good results in patients with very high surgical risk.Case summaryIn this case report, we present the percutaneous closure of PVL of mitral valve replacement (MVR), in a patient with cardiogenic shock who failed conservative medical treatment and was deemed inoperable due to recurrent operations. Successful closure of the PVL with the use of the four consecutive PVL closure devices was performed under general anaesthesia with guidance of 2D and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography. The procedure was performed with no complications and the patient has remained asymptomatic after 10 months following the PVL closure procedure with marked improvement in her NYHA class and echocardiographic values.DiscussionPercutaneous PVL closure is a very challenging and high clinical skills requiring procedure, but has a good success and low complication rate in high-risk patients. It is not a standard procedure and the type and size of device should be tailored for each patient with a good 2D and 3D echocardiographic guidance.

A case report of an iatrogenic coronary cameral fistula treated by retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention.

Project description:Background:Acquired coronary cameral fistula is an extremely rare condition that involves an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. It usually occurs after chest trauma or cardiovascular interventions, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with various outcomes, ranging from a stable status to haemodynamic instability. Acquired coronary cameral fistula frequently arises from the right coronary artery and drains generally into the right ventricle. Case summary:We report the unusual case of a 56-year-old male patient referred to an invasive cardiology centre for a suspected left anterior descending (LAD) coronary-left ventricular (LV) fistula resulting from a primary PCI for an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Here, the confirmed LAD-LV fistula was successfully treated by retrograde PCI with covered stent implantation. Clinical and angiographic outcomes were favourable at 1-month follow-up. Discussion:Coronary cameral fistula can be a severe complication of primary PCI. Various treatment strategies can be considered based on haemodynamic status and anatomical features. In the case described herein, the use of a retrograde approach led to permanent fistula closure and complete revascularization.
