Loculated Pericardial Effusion: An Uncommon Cause of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

ABSTRACT: A patient with a previous lung transplant and aortic valve replacement had progressive dyspnea. He presented with subacute tamponade secondary to a loculated pericardial effusion that caused impaired left ventricular filling and outflow tract obstruction secondary to distortion of the mitral valve apparatus. We demonstrate the imaging features of this presentation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

An unusual cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has been reported with bio-prosthetic and mechanical mitral valves (MV), though it is more common with the former. The obstruction can be dynamic or fixed. We hereby report a case of fixed LVOTO following bio-prosthetic MV replacement (MVR).

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.

Unstable angina complicated with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) complicated with unstable angina (uAP) has not been described widely, but patients with these two conditions have several problems. Differentiation of the two conditions is also often difficult because the chest symptoms are similar. Moreover, nitrates are commonly used for ischemic heart disease, but have the effect of worsening LVOTO. We experienced three cases of dynamic LVOTO with a sigmoid-shaped septum, and without typical hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, that were complicated with uAP. In all cases, LVOTO was improved after initial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the left anterior descending artery lesion. Next, a dobutamine stress test was performed and LVOTO was provoked again in two cases, but not in a case with small acute myocardial infarction of the basal septum during PCI. All cases remained asymptomatic with beta-blocker therapy. Therefore, PCI and beta-blocker administration for LVOTO with uAP resulted in favorable clinical courses in all three cases. These outcomes suggest that revascularization including PCI should have priority in the therapeutic strategy for a case of acute coronary syndrome with LVOTO.

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Exacerbated by Thoracic Kyphosis.

Project description:We present a 74-year-old woman with kyphosis and symptoms of pre/syncope. Heart catheterization revealed dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (DLVOTO) with Brockenbrough Braunwald response only when kyphotic posture was assumed. She had a positive response to metoprolol. DLVOTO is a challenging diagnosis in the absence of resting LVOTO. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:We describe the first case of successful management of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction developing late after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with right ventricular apical pacing. The possible mechanisms of obstruction resolution are described. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

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.

Fixed right ventricular collapse: A loculated pericardial effusion due to metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinoma

Project description:Pericardial effusions can occur as either circumferential or loculated when referencing their anatomic distribution in the pericardium. These effusions can result from multiple different etiologies, including malignancy, infection, trauma, connective tissue disease, acute pericarditis drug induced, or idiopathic. Loculated pericardial effusions can be difficult to manage. Even small loculated effusions can result in hemodynamic compromise. Oftentimes in the acute setting, point of care ultrasound can be used to evaluate pericardial effusions directly at the bedside. We present a case of a malignant loculated pericardial effusion and offer insight into management and clinical evaluation using point of care ultrasound.
