Giant aortic root pseudoaneurysm surrounding the left main coronary artery.

ABSTRACT: 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 Intrapericardial Myxoma Adjacent to the Left Main Coronary Artery.

Project description:A 62-years-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of chronic cough, expectoration of thick mucus, hoarseness and tightness in the precordial area. Computed Tomography (CT) examination revealed the presence of a giant intrapericardial tumor with the dimensions of 80 × 38 × 32 mm. It was located anteriorly and laterally to the left atrium, posteriorly to the pulmonary trunk and the ascending aorta. This hypodense change modeled the left atrium without evidence of invasion. CT coronary angiography and 3-dimensional reconstruction were applied to enable precise planning of cardiac surgery. CT evaluation confirmed that it is possible to remove the tumor without damage to the adjacent left main coronary artery. The patient underwent cardiac surgery with sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A cohesive, smooth, vascularized tumor pedunculated to the left atrial epicardium was visualized. The location and dimensions corresponded to those determined by CT scan examination. The entire tumor was successfully dissected together with adjacent adipose and fibrous tissue. Histological evaluation revealed the presence of myxoid cells, blood vessels, degenerative changes, and microcalcifications embedded in profuse hyalinized stroma. Those histological features enabled identification of the intrapericardial tumor as a myxoma. Follow-up CT examination did not demonstrate any signs of recurrence of the myxoma. According to our knowledge, a myxoma located inside the pericardial sac has never been described before.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for iatrogenic coronary artery pseudoaneurysm at left main trunk bifurcation: A case report.

Project description:A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of progressive increase in extravasation leading to an iatrogenic coronary artery (CA) pseudoaneurysm within a month of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The pseudoaneurysm was located on the carina side of the proximal left descending artery (LAD) accompanied by peri-stent contrast staining around the left main trunk (LMT). After a shared decision-making process, a second PCI was performed to prevent CA pseudoaneurysm rupture owing to concerns of adhesion around the LMT and difficulty in approaching the carina side of the proximal LAD for surgery. Coil embolization with four coils was performed and kissing stents with two covered stents were implanted. After the "Double-D molding technique," intravascular ultrasound imaging revealed only small residual spaces out of the stents. Final coronary angiography (CAG) revealed no contrast staining of the pseudoaneurysm. Four months after the PCI, follow-up CAG revealed no further pseudoaneurysm enlargement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of PCI for a CA pseudoaneurysm at the LMT bifurcation treated using kissing stents with two covered stents.Learning objectiveCoil embolization and implantation of kissing stents with two covered stents with the "Double-D molding technique" is an optional method to stop further enlargement of the pseudoaneurysm at the left main trunk bifurcation.

Telescoping Technique to Engage Left Main Coronary Artery in a Case of Giant Aortic Aneurysm in a Geriatric Patient.

Project description:We present a case of a geriatric male with giant ascending aortic aneurysm (AAA) who underwent successful coronary angiography using telescoping technique for evaluation his coronary arteries before surgery for AAA. Since the ascending aorta and root were extremely dilated, we knew it would not have been possible to engage the coronaries using regular catheters and standard technique. Hence, telescopic technique was used. Amplatz left 3 (AL3) 7F (French) guide catheter (90 cm) was initially used, and nonselective injection of contrast was done to see the coronary ostium. After that, a 5F multipurpose catheter (110 cm) was telescoped through 7F AL3 guide catheter to engage the ostium of the left main coronary artery. Using this technique, images of coronaries were obtained, and it showed minimal luminal irregularities in major epicardial coronary arteries. The patient underwent successful surgery with aortic valve replacement and excision of aneurysm with graft placement. Although this technique has been described previously in enlarged aortas, this is the first to our knowledge use of telescoping technique in giant aortic aneurysm in a geriatric patient.

Hemi-root replacement with diagonal resection of the aortic root preserving the ostium of the left coronary artery and sacrificing the right coronary artery for an infected pseudoaneurysm: a case report.

Project description:Either the Bentall-De Bono operation or the valve-sparing aortic root replacement is commonly chosen for aortic root management. However, if the preoperative condition is poor, a simpler technique is preferred; therefore, we performed hemi-root replacement with diagonal resection of the aortic root preserving the left coronary sinus of Valsalva. Because reimplantation of the left coronary artery is not required, this technique may shorten operative time and reduce coronary malperfusion, a condition characterized by reduced transit flow time and reduced cardiac contractility.

Unusual Case of Giant Nonthrombosed Right Coronary Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Coronary Artery Fistula.

Project description:Coronary artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are rare and mainly result from atherosclerosis. We present a successfully treated case of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm with a coronary artery fistula, which might have developed after cardiac surgery for a right ventricular tumor 35 years earlier. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Giant Left Main Coronary Artery Aneurysm: A Decade-Long Evolution of an Incidental Finding.

Project description:This clinical vignette details a rare case of a patient with a left ventricular aneurysm and an incidentally discovered giant left main coronary artery aneurysm. A review of the patient's history and previous imaging revealed the aneurysmal dilation had been present for 10 years. Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare and typically asymptomatic, with unclear pathophysiology and poorly documented natural history. There is no consensus on the optimal intervention, underscoring the need for awareness of this rare pathology for early detection and prevention of future complications.

Pulmonary artery from the left main coronary artery.

Project description:The usual sources of pulmonary blood flow in pulmonary atresia (PA) with(VSD) are patent ductus arteriosus and aortopulmonary collaterals. However, rarely fistulous collaterals may also arise from the coronary arteries which usually open into the main pulmonary trunk or branch pulmonary arteries. In such cases, selective coronary angiogram may be required for the demonstration of pulmonary arterial anatomy. A case of PA with VSD with failure to demonstrate pulmonary arteries on routine catheterization study (ventricular, aortic root, and descending aortic angiograms) is being presented here. A coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula was suspected in view of dilated left main coronary artery, and pulmonary arteries were well demonstrated with selective coronary angiogram.

Right coronary artery fistula with giant pseudoaneurysm presenting as intrapericardial mass.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulas are rare congenital anomalies usually discovered incidentally on imaging studies. Coronary artery pseudoaneurysms are unusual complications of coronary artery fistulas, which can be due to atherosclerosis, inflammatory, traumatic or iatrogenic causes. We present a case of a 55 year old female with no known atherosclerotic risk factors, history of trauma or connective tissue disease referred because of recurrent palpitations. Work ups revealed a cardiac mass with an initial assessment of pericardial cyst. A multi modality approach of two dimensional echocardiography with Doppler studies, multidetector computed tomography and coronary angiogram revealed coronary artery fistula draining into a pericardial mass. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass and ligation of the feeding vessel. Histopathology revealed features suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm. Postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged stable and improved. Coronary artery fistula complicated by pseudoaneurysm is a rare clinical entity especially in patients without history of trauma or other risk factors. It can have an unusual presentation which can confound the diagnosis. Multimodality imaging is essential and adjunctive in order to determine a conclusive assessment. <Learning objective: Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to a congenital coronary artery fistula is an unusual cardiovascular pathology and can present as a rare diagnostic challenge for the clinician. This case emphasizes the importance of meticulous integration of both clinical assessment and complementary multimodality imaging approaches to better define the best therapeutic plan and facilitation of definitive surgical management.>.
