Left coronary button aneurysm presenting with progressive enlargement after aortic root replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aneurysmal degeneration of the coronary button after aortic root replacement using the button technique is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. However, the appropriate management of this complication, including the indications for conservative and surgical treatment, is still unknown.

Case presentation

Here we present a 38-year-old woman who successfully underwent surgical repair of a left coronary button aneurysm using the graft interposition technique 24 years after aortic root replacement. Because follow-up computed tomography after aortic root replacement showed a progressively enlarging left coronary button aneurysm, the patient was judged an acceptable candidate for surgical treatment, considering the potential risk of aneurysmal rupture and subsequent myocardial infarction. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient is doing well 1 year after the surgery.

Conclusions

We believe that serial follow-up using computed tomography is mandatory for coronary button aneurysms, and surgical intervention may be considered if progressive enlargement of the aneurysm is observed, especially in younger patients.

Acute contained ruptured aortic aneurysm presenting as left vocal fold immobility.

Project description:Objective. To recognize intrathoracic abnormalities, including expansion or rupture of aortic aneurysms, as a source of acute onset vocal fold immobility. Methods. A case report and review of the literature. Results. An 85-year-old female with prior history of an aortic aneurysm presented to a tertiary care facility with sudden onset hoarseness. On laryngoscopy, the left vocal fold was immobile in the paramedian position. A CT scan obtained that day revealed a new, large hematoma surrounding the upper descending aortic stent graft consistent with an acute contained ruptured aortic aneurysm. She was referred to the emergency department for evaluation and treatment by vascular surgery. She was counseled regarding surgical options and ultimately decided not to pursue further treatment. Her vocal fold immobility was subsequently treated via office-based injection medialization two weeks after presentation and again 5 months after the initial injection which dramatically improved her voice. Follow-up CT scan at 8 months demonstrated a reduction of the hematoma. The left vocal cord remains immobile to date. Conclusion. Ortner's syndrome, or cardiovocal syndrome, is hoarseness secondary to left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by cardiovascular pathology. It is a rare condition and, while typically presenting gradually, may also present with acute symptomatology.

Giant aortic root pseudoaneurysm surrounding the left main coronary artery.

Project description:A 69-year-old patient underwent an urgent aortic valve replacement because of Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis of his native aortic valve. Since a rapid progression of the former abscess cavity into an aortic root pseudoaneurysm with increasing paravalvular regurgitation during postoperative follow-up, reoperation was performed. In the preoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) images the pseudoaneurysm completely surrounds the left coronary artery (LCA) without any signs of myocardial ischemia.

Giant unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome: a case report.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that can be congenital or acquired. Unruptured aneurysms may be asymptomatic but can present as malignant arrhythmias, acute chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. Both ruptured and unruptured SVAs may have fatal complications, thus prompt diagnosis and surgery is critical. We report a successful surgical repair of an unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography (CAG) and cardiac multislice computed tomography (CT) revealed a large unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. Surgical repair was performed by resection of the aneurysm, aortic valve replacement with composite graft, and coronary artery bypass. Aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva is an extremely rare condition. Correct diagnosis can be done by echocardiography, CAG, or CT. Non-ruptured aneurysms should be surgically repaired if they are associated with significant symptoms or if their size enlarge rapidly.

Early and late effects of aortic root enlargement: Results from the Pericardial Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Pivotal Trial: A multicenter, prospective clinical trial.

Project description:ObjectiveDuring surgical aortic valve replacement, prosthesis-patient mismatch is avoided by implanting the largest possible valve, which sometimes requires annular enlargement (ARE). The effects of ARE on mortality remain controversial. We reviewed data from a multinational clinical trial evaluating a novel pericardial bioprosthesis to determine the influence of ARE 5 years postimplant.MethodsPatients with aortic valve disease requiring surgical aortic valve replacement were prospectively enrolled at 25 centers in North America and 13 centers in Europe. Standardized follow-up was prescribed, including serial echocardiography assessed by a core lab. A composite 30-day end point of major morbidity or mortality was defined as death, reoperation for any cause, stroke, deep sternal wound infection, and acute kidney injury.ResultsAmong 602 patients with detailed intraoperative data, 90 (15%) underwent ARE with similar rates in North America (17%) and Europe (12%; P = .11). Implanted valve size was similar in both groups (P = .18). The prevalence of moderate or severe prosthesis-patient mismatch at 12 months and at 5 years was comparable between groups, as was the average indexed effective orifice area (P = .3). Five-year survival (ARE, 91% vs no ARE, 89%) and freedom from 30-day major morbidity and mortality (ARE, 87% vs no ARE, 89%) were also similar.ConclusionsIn this analysis of a prospective, observational clinical trial, we observed that the performance of an aortic root enlargement procedure did not increase morbidity or mortality at 30 days. We found that survival at 5 years was similar between groups, suggesting that the performance of an ARE procedure restored survival to that observed in patients who did not require an ARE.

Large sub-mitral aneurysm compressing the left circumflex coronary artery presenting with atypical chest pain - Rare presentation.

Project description:Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) is a rare cardiac malformation commonly reported in young adults of African ancestry. SMA is considered a congenital disease caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. In the past two decades, a considerable number of cases regarding this rare disease have been reported in Asians, highlighting the importance of considering SMA in differential diagnosis of young patients presenting with mitral regurgitation and chest pain. Herein, we report the case of a young male with atypical chest pain with compression of left circumflex coronary artery by a large SMA. <Learning objective: Sub-mitral aneurysm is a rare cardiac malformation, caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. Patients may be entirely asymptomatic, or they can present with mitral regurgitation with or without left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, systemic thromboembolism, ventricular wall rupture causing tamponade, myocardial ischemia due to compression of coronary arteries, ventricular arrhythmias, or sometimes sudden cardiac death. Strong suspicion and early diagnosis followed by surgery can prevent sudden cardiac death.>.

Aortic Root Replacement for a TAVR-Induced Aortic Root-to-Right Ventricular Fistula.

Project description:Aortic right ventricular fistulae have been thoroughly documented as a rare but potentially serious complication of surgical aortic valve replacement. The risk factors and pathogenesis contributing to this complication with respect to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), however, remain far less characterized. We describe a post-TAVR aortic root-to-right ventricular fistula with associated pseudoaneurysm requiring surgical aortic root replacement.
