Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass in a Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect.

ABSTRACT: A 50-year-old man presented with an episode of chest pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the presence of a large ventricular septal aneurysm partially closing a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, prolapsing into the right ventricular outflow tract, and mimicking a mass. We illustrate the diagnostic approach and management of such ventricular septal aneurysms. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A Case of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect Associated with Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Mimicking Membranous Septal Aneurysm.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are frequently associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation. They often remain asymptomatic until abruptly presenting with acute chest pain and heart failure secondary to rupture. Here, we describe a case of 20-year-old man who presented with chest pain with a history of VSD. Initial work-up concluded that the patient had VSD associated membranous septal aneurysm. Four years later, the patient presented with symptoms of heart failure. Work-up showed that the ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was the cause of symptoms. Due to its close proximity to the aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva aneurysm should be differentiated from membranous septal aneurysm.

Rapidly Growing Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass in Patient with Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) without inferior vena cava (IVC) involvements is extremely rare with few reported cases. Sarcomatoid RCC with rhabdoid feature is a rare pathologic type of RCC having aggressive behavior due to great metastatic potential. Here, we report a case of rapidly growing cardiac metastasis of RCC which brought on right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction without IVC and right atrial involvement in a 61-year-old woman. Cardiac arrest occurred during radical nephrectomy and echocardiography revealed mass nearly obstructing the RVOT which was not recognized by preoperative echocardiography 1 month ago. Postoperative immunohistochemical evaluation of renal mass revealed sarcomatoid RCC with rhabdoid feature.

Large nonapical right ventricular diverticulum in a patient with atrioventricular septal defect.

Project description:Congenital diveticula and aneurysm of the heart are rare and most often located at the apex of the left ventricle. They pose a significant risk for cardiac failure and arrhythmias. In contrast, nonapical diverticula of the right ventricle (RV) have a much more benign course. We present a child with Trisomy 21, atrioventricular septal defect, and large nonapical diverticulum of the RV that was neither addressed during surgery nor needed any medical treatment during 1-year follow-up.

Electrocardiographic predictors of validated right ventricular outflow tract septal pacing for correct localization of transthoracic echocardiography.

Project description:BackgroundElectrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics of true right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) septal pacing have not been clearly demonstrated.HypothesisWe hypothesized that ECG parameters would help operators differentiate true RVOT septum from non-septal septum.MethodsWe analyzed 151 patients who underwent pacemaker implantation with a ventricular lead in the RVOT. Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) determination of pacing sites was applied in all patients after implantation. A 12-lead ECG was recorded during forced ventricular pacing.ResultsAccording to TTE orientation, pacing at the RVOT septum was achieved in 94 patients (62.3%). Compared with nonseptal pacing, septal pacing had significantly shorter QRS duration (139.2 ± 18.5 ms vs 155.5 ± 14.7 ms; P < 0.001). More frequent negative or isoelectric QRS vector in lead I (76% vs 32%; P < 0.001), lead II/III R-wave amplitude ratio < 1 (52% vs 25%; P = 0.001), and aVR/aVL QS-wave amplitude ratio < 1 (59% vs 32%; P = 0.001) were observed in septal pacing. Transitional zone (TZ) score (3.8 ± 0.96 vs 4.2 ± 0.90; P = 0.004) and TZ index (0.3 ± 0.5 vs 0.6 ± 0.7; P = 0.008) were significantly lower in septal pacing than in nonseptal pacing, respectively. In multivariate analysis, paced QRS duration and negative or isoelectric QRS vector in lead I independently predicted RVOT septal pacing (P < 0.001). At ROC curve analysis, paced QRS duration ≤145 ms identified RVOT septal pacing with 85.1% sensitivity and 78.9% specificity.ConclusionsThis study reveals the heterogeneity of lead placement within the RVOT. Narrower paced QRS duration and negative or isoelectric QRS vector in lead I independently predict RVOT septal pacing.

Tricuspid valve straddling: An uncommon cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in transposition of great artery with ventricular septal defect.

Project description:Transposition of great arteries (TGA) can be associated with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. In the presence of ventricular septal defect (VSD), septal leaflet of tricuspid valve may prolapse through perimembranous VSD or rarely tricuspid valve tissue may override to produce LVOT obstruction. Occasionally, this may be mistaken for vegetation due to associated pulmonary valve endocarditis. We report a case of d-TGA with presumptive pulmonary valve endocarditis and LVOT obstruction that was found to be due to tricuspid valve straddling on transesophageal echocardiography, resulting in change in the surgical plan and thus avoiding catastrophe.

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.

An interventricular membranous septal aneurysm obstructing the right ventricle outflow tract in a five-year-old boy: a case report

Project description:Background While the aneurysms of the membranous septum (AVS) are rare, the possibility that they lead to obstruction is even rarer. To the best of our knowledge, 11 similar cases have been reported since 1982. Case presentation Initially, the five-year-old boy was evaluated for dyspnoea that had been present since birth. He did not receive any medical treatment until the previous year. At the age of four, the transthoracic echocardiography showed a large aneurysm extending to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and causing RVOT stenosis. Complete surgical resection of the aneurysmal tissue was performed, and the boy was discharged home in satisfactory condition. Conclusions As the occurrence of RVOT obstruction by a membranous ventricular septal aneurysm is very rare, we are reporting the second case in which an aneurysm of the membranous septum dynamically obstructed the RVOT in a child. We are also reviewing all the previously reported similar cases in the literature. Further studies are needed to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of aneurysms of the membranous septum (AVS).

A rare case of accessory mitral valve tissue causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction associated with parachute mitral valve, ventricular septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve, unruptured aneurysm of aortic sinus: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAccessory mitral valve tissue rarely causes left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in adults. It is often associated with other cardiac and vascular congenital malformations. Here, we report the rarest presentation of accessory mitral valve tissue (AMVT) causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.Case summaryA 22-year-old female patient presented with a history of shortness of breath and chest pain for more than 5 years. A diagnosis of AMVT with parachute mitral valve, ventricular septal defect (VSD), bicuspid aortic valve, unruptured aneurysm of aortic sinus, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction was made. Successful closure of VSD with mitral valve replacement, excision of AMVT, and repair of the aortic sinus were performed. The post-operative course was uneventful, and an echocardiogram showed complete resection of the accessory mitral valve, no residual shunt and no left ventricular outflow gradient. Additionally, the peak gradient of rapid filling phase and atrial systolic phase across the prosthetic mitral valve were 16 mmHg and 4 mmHg, respectively. The peak velocity across left ventricular outflow tract was 1.4 m/s.DiscussionAccessory mitral valve tissue is associated with other cardiac abnormalities and is usually diagnosed in the first or second decade of life. It is responsible for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The obstruction can occur in the early period of life due to continued deposition of fibrous tissues within left ventricular outflow tract. Accessory mitral valve tissue should be considered a rare but important cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Resolution of thrombus in left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm mimicking periaortic abscess.

Project description:Prosthetic valve complications are not uncommon after valve replacement. In this paper we report a female patient who presented with aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis and echocardiographic appearance of periaortic abscess. After 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy, echocardiographic examination revealed resolution of abscess cavity and replacement with a clear blood-filled anechoic sac. Diagnosis was made by cardiac computed tomography, which showed a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm rather than an abscess, located just below the sewing ring of the prosthetic aortic valve. We assumed that either resolution of thrombus in LVOT pseudoaneurysm following effective warfarin therapy or clearance of infective content in pseudoaneurysm after co-administered antibiotics gave rise to change in echocardiographic characteristics in the perivalvular area.

Transesophageal Echocardiography Reveals a Missed Right Atrial Aneurysm in a Patient with Atrial Septal Defect and Mitral Valve Prolapse.

Project description:Right atrial (RA) aneurysms are rare entities reported in the literature. Affected patients are usually asymptomatic, but sometimes, they tend to present with arrhythmias or even heart failure if big. They may form a nidus for thrombus formation and subsequent thromboembolic complications. We report a coincidental finding of a RA aneurysm in a 22-year-old female with the atrial septal defect and mitral valve prolapse, causing moderate mitral regurgitation. The aneurysm was detected incidentally on transesophageal echo after anesthetic induction for elective surgery of the primary pathology. The mitral valve was repaired, and the atrial septal defect was closed. The aneurysm was excised in toto and RA wall repaired.
