Iatrogenic Left Circumflex Coronary Artery Fistula after Mitral Valve Replacement.

Project description:Highlights•LCx injury during MV surgery occurs at a frequency of about 1%.•Injury typically occurs in the proximal vessel near the MV anterolateral commissure.•Echocardiography is important in diagnosing and assessing coronary artery fistulas.

Case Report: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in a Patient With Severe Aortic Stenosis, Left Ventricular Dysfunction, and an Anomalous Left Circumflex Artery.

Project description:The role of cardiac computed tomography in the evaluation of patients for transcatheter aortic valve implantation is well-established. However, its role in the evaluation of anomalous vessels in the pre-procedure planning, intra-procedural fusion imaging and post-procedure assessment of vessel patency is not yet defined. This case report illustrates the utility of cardiac CT throughout the management of complex structural interventions. Here, we describe an anomalous left coronary artery where the course of the anomalous vessel and its proximity to the aortic valve annulus is defined allowing the selection of the most appropriate balloon expandable valve with a planned deployment. Upon follow up, patency of this anomalous vessel is ascertained using CT as well as the transcatheter valve function and leaflet thickening.

Left circumflex artery injury following surgical mitral valve replacement: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral valve (MV) repair or replacement surgery is indicated for a variety of conditions. Although uncommon, damage to the left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery, which courses in close proximity to the MV annulus, is a devastating complication.Case summaryThis report describes the case of a 63-year-old woman following re-operative MV replacement. Shortly after being transferred to the surgical intensive care unit after MV replacement, her EKG was notable for persistent inferolateral ST-segment elevations and reciprocal ST-segment depressions. Emergency transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35-40% and mid to distal lateral wall motion hypokinesis. She was emergently taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory where coronary angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of her mid LCx artery. She underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention of the lesion and was started on dual antiplatelet treatment, anticoagulation for comorbid atrial fibrillation, as well as guideline directed medical therapy with improvement in her EKG changes and cardiac function.ConclusionPrompt diagnosis and recognition of LCx injury is crucial. Management involves immediate percutaneous recanalization or surgical coronary bypass grafting.

Anomalous Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery With Retroaortic Left Circumflex Artery: A Novel Coronary Pattern.

Project description:A novel coronary anatomy in the form of anomalous left anterior descending coronary artery from pulmonary artery with a retroaortic left circumflex arising from the right coronary artery is presented. This unreported anatomy was discovered in a 7-month-old girl with failure to thrive. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Bicuspid Aortic Insufficiency After Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement.

Project description:Bicuspid aortic insufficiency (BAI) patients with root aneurysm often require aortic valve and root replacement in a composite procedure. The valve-sparing root replacement (VSARR) procedure is aimed at preserving the native valve when possible. This case highlights a successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure in a BAI patient previously treated with VSARR. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery.

Project description:Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is widely performed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), having a high surgical risk. However, reports of TAVR performed in patients with anomalous coronary arteries are rare. In existing literature, several complications including coronary obstruction are reported. In this study, we report a 77-year-old female patient with severe AS and anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus, who successfully underwent TAVR. <Learning objective: During transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with anomalous coronary arteries, special attention might be given to the topographical location of the coronary artery from the aortic root and the implanted valve for preventing a coronary obstruction.>.

Valve-Sparing Root Replacement: Aortic Root Remodeling with External Subvalvular Ring Annuloplasty.

Project description:The original valve-sparing procedures for aortic root aneurysms were remodeling and reimplantation of the aortic root. The remodeling technique provides more physiologic movement of the cusps within 3 reconstructed neo-sinuses, thus preserving root expansibility through the interleaflet triangles. However, the durability of remodeling has been a matter of concern due to the high rate of aortic insufficiency when annular dilation is not addressed. Therefore, a modified approach was developed, combining a physiologic remodeling of the root with a subvalvular annuloplasty. This case report highlights the first case of successful aortic root remodeling with external subvalvular ring annuloplasty in Korea.
