A Rare Case of Mitral Prosthesis Dislocation Due to a Circumferential Left Atrial Dissection.

ABSTRACT: Left atrial dissection is a rare entity mostly associated with mitral valve surgery and revealed in early post-operative period. This case report discusses a case of left atrial dissection associated with dislocation of the mechanical mitral prosthesis in the left atrium, which was peculiar in its anatomy and pathophysiology, occurred 12 years after surgery. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A case of left atrial dissection after mitral valve replacement.

Project description:Left atrial dissection (LatD) is a rare complication of cardiac surgery due to creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus that extends into the left atrium wall. It is primarily associated with mitral valve surgery although other etiologies have also been defined. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a key to the diagnosis. This is a case report of management of LatD after mitral valve replacement.

Left Atrial Dissection During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery

Project description:Graphical abstract Highlights • LA dissection is a rare complication of cardiac surgery seen more often in MV repair.• It can present heterogeneously, from being benign to causing hemodynamic collapse.• Perioperative TEE is valuable in identifying LA dissection and aiding in management.• TEE can show the cause of instability, such as MV inflow or PV outflow obstruction.

Left atrial endocarditis as a rare complication of mitral valve endocarditis: a clinical case.

Project description:BackgroundInfective Endocarditis (IE) is considered as a multifaceted problem in every aspect from etiology and presentation to diagnosis and management. Early recognition of this disease and especially its complications, remain a critical task for the cardiologist. Atrial endocarditis is a rare and sometimes unrecognized complication of mitral valve endocarditis.Case presentationWe present a 48 year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic because of recent onset of malaise, fever, jaundice and peripheral edema. Important physical findings were peripheral stigmata of IE in addition to holosystolic murmur over the left sternal border. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiophy revealed a severe eccentric MR due to a flailed posterior mitral valve caused by IE. The presence of atrial septal endocarditis caused by jet streaming was also observed. Blood culture was positive for streptococcus oralis and antibiotic therapy was immediately initiated. Considering the large burden of infective tissue, the patient was planned for an early surgical intervention. A minimally invasive resection of the atrial mass, direct closure of the defect, resection of the diseased portions of mitral leaflets and implantation of a biological mitral valve prosthesis was performed. Intra-operative and histological findings confirmed provisional diagnosis by echocardiography.ConclusionsTogether with comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation, attention should be placed on mural vegetations and excluded among all cases of mitral valve endocarditis, particularly those with severe eccentric regurgitant jets.

Left atrial wall dissection: a rare sequela of native-valve endocarditis.

Project description:Left atrial wall dissection is a rare condition; most cases are iatrogenic after mitral valve surgery. A few have been reported as sequelae of blunt chest trauma, acute myocardial infarction, and invasive cardiac procedures. On occasion, infective endocarditis causes left atrial wall dissection. We report a highly unusual case in which a 41-year-old man presented with native mitral valve infective endocarditis that had caused left atrial free-wall dissection. Although our patient died within an hour of presentation, we obtained what we consider to be a definitive diagnosis of a rare sequela, documented by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.

An Extremely Rare Cause of Mitral Regurgitation—Accessory Commissural Mitral Tissue with Anomalous Left Atrial Chordal Attachment.

Project description:Highlights•Accessory mitral tissue and left atrial chordae are rare congenital abnormalities.•Accessory mitral tissue can result in left ventricular outflow tract and mitral valve obstruction.•This is the first case of lateral mitral accessory tissue with an associate anomalous chord.•Transthoracic echocardiography may not be able to evaluate accessory mitral valve tissue.•Removal of anomalous chordae affecting the mitral valve may be complicated.

Postoperative prosthetic mitral valve occlusion due to left atrial thrombus during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAnticoagulation using heparin is generally used to prevent thrombus formation during mechanical circulatory support, such as veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, during the early period following cardiac surgery, anticoagulation becomes more difficult due to the greater risk of critical bleeding complications.Case presentationA 71-year-old man presented with acute prosthetic valve occlusion caused by left atrial thrombus formation and bioprosthetic valve thrombosis during peripheral VA-ECMO following mitral valve replacement (MVR) despite continuous heparin administration and loading of antiplatelet agents. The VA-ECMO flow rate decreased 10 h after the intensive care unit (ICU) admission after MVR. Exploratory transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination revealed a left atrial thrombus, prosthetic valve obstruction by the thrombus, and an intrapericardial hematoma.ConclusionsIntracardiac thrombus formation might occur during VA-ECMO despite appropriate anticoagulation and loading of antiplatelet agents. Exploratory TEE examination was helpful in the detection of intra-atrial thrombus formation after cardiac surgery and surgical decision-making.
