Case report of an acute coronary syndrome in a patient with artery coronary fistulae.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery fistulae are rare vascular anomalies. Although they are usually asymptomatic, the presence of symptoms might present a challenge in the diagnostic and therapeutic management.

Case summary

We present a patient with chest pain whose initial tests were normal, but coronary artery fistulae were found. Single-photon emission computed tomography test showed ischaemia due to coronary artery fistulae and cardiac computed tomography helped in the planning of the percutaneous closure.

Discussion

CCT is emerging as an optimal non-invasive tool to characterise the morphology and course of coronary artery fistulae and may be essential for its accurate diagnosis and planning for percutaneous closure.

Isolated single coronary artery presenting as acute coronary syndrome: case report and review.

Project description:Congenital single coronary artery is commonly associated with complex congenital heart diseases and manifests in infancy or childhood. But isolated single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly which can present as acute coronary syndrome in adults. The aim of the work is to discuss on isolated single coronary artery in two adults presenting as acute coronary syndrome. The first case underwent coronary angiography (CAG) through right radial route, but switched over to femoral for confirmation of diagnosis and due to radial spasm. An aortic root angiogram was done to rule out presence of any other coronary ostia. It revealed a single coronary artery originating from right sinus of valsalva. After giving rise to posterior descending artery branch at crux, it continued in the atrioventricular groove to the anterior basal surface of the heart and traversed as anterior descending artery. There was no atheromatous occlusive stenosis. This is R-I type single coronary artery as per Lipton classification. In the second case, angiography was completed through right radial route. It revealed a single coronary artery arising from right aortic sinus. Anterior descending and circumflex branch were originating from proximal common trunk of the single coronary artery and supplying the left side of the heart. The right coronary artery has diffuse atheromatous disease without significant stenosis in any major branch. This is R-III C type as per Lipton classification. A coronary anomaly of both origin and course is very rare. It may be encountered in adults evaluated for atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. Knowledge and understanding of anatomical types of this congenital anomaly will reduce time, anxiety, complications during CAG and cardiac surgery.

Antiphospholipid syndrome combined with acute coronary syndrome: Case report.

Project description:RATIONALE:Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) combined with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is rarely reported. PATIENT CONCERNS:One male patient with APS was admitted to our hospital, who had recent unstable angina (UA). DIAGNOSIS:The preliminary diagnosis of ACS and UA (BraunwaldiB) was then made. INTERVENTIONS:This patient received secondary preventative therapy for coronary heart disease (CHD) in combination with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and implantation of NeoVas Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold. OUTCOMES:The patient was followed up, without new UA episodes were observed at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 year after surgery, respectively. LESSONS:It was thus concluded that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective for APS patients and NeoVas scaffold implantation is presumed safe.

Multi-vessel coronary artery aneurysms in a patient with Parry Romberg syndrome: a case report.

Project description:Background:Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are a very rare finding on coronary angiograms with multiple known aetiologies. Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is also a very rare disease, and the underlying aetiology remains unknown. We present a rare case of CAAs in a patient with PRS, and discuss possible implications regarding the primary pathophysiological cause for both of these diseases. Case summary:A 48-year-old woman with a history of PRS presented with atypical and non-exertional chest pain. Initial evaluation demonstrated a rising troponin without associated electrocardiogram changes, and as such she was taken for left heart catheterization. Left heart catheterization demonstrated diffuse aneurysmal and ectatic disease of multiple coronary arteries. Further evaluation with magnetic resonance angiogram and autoantibody panel did not demonstrate other vascular anomalies or rheumatologic disease, respectively. She was treated with dual anti-platelet therapy and statin, and at 1?year follow-up, she had resolution of her symptoms. Discussion:It has been postulated that the underlying mechanism causing CAA is intravascular inflammation. Parry Romberg syndrome is theorized to be a neurovasculopathy, as evidenced by cases of associated intracranial aneurysms. Intravascular inflammation may play a key pathological role in CAA, and an association between CAA and PRS may exist.

Transesophageal echocardiography, more than a diagnostic tool: use during surgical ligation of coronary artery fistulae - a case report.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are an infrequent coronary abnormality. Herein, we describe the use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the treatment of CAF. A 61 year-old woman presented with chest pain and symptoms consistent with unstable angina. Subsequent coronary angiography revealed the presence of 2 CAF, one extending from the left anterior descending artery to the pulmonary artery (PA) and the other extending from the proximal right coronary artery to the PA. Surgical ligation of the CAF without coronary bypass was arranged. Intraoperative TEE was successfully employed to localize the CAF, monitor fistula blood flow and heart wall motion, and confirm successful ligation. The patient recovered without complications. This case highlights the utility of intraoperative TEE during ligation of CAF.

Coronary artery aneurysm in Loeys-Dietz syndrome: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLoeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a connective tissue disorder that commonly presents with vascular abnormalities. Owing to the rarity and severity of the condition, consensus guidelines for aortic surgery thresholds vary. In addition, evaluation of coronary arteries in patients with LDS (either routinely or before aortic root surgery) remain undefined. In this case report, we discuss a patient with LDS who found to have an ectatic aortic root and a coronary artery aneurysm and discuss guidelines for evaluation and management in this patient population.Case summaryA 48-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a 45 mm ectatic aortic root during evaluation for a neck mass. As part of pre-operative evaluation for aortic root replacement, left heart catheterization revealed a left main coronary artery aneurysm. Family history revealed aortic aneurysms, sudden cardiac death, and tall height. Physical examination was notable for pectus excavatum and elongated limbs. Workup for inflammatory aetiologies of aortic root dilation was negative. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous pathogenic TGBF3 variant, consistent with LDS Type 5. She subsequently underwent two-vessel coronary artery bypass, excision of her left main coronary artery aneurysm, and ascending aortic replacement.DiscussionIn this case, we describe a patient with LDS who was noted to have a coronary artery aneurysm, a rare finding in the initial presentation of disease. In addition, we examine guidelines regarding evaluation of management of aortic root disease and coronary aneurysms.

Case report of Loeys-Dietz syndrome presenting with coronary artery aneurysm

Project description:Abstract Background Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a heritable disorder that presents with thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection caused by a mutation in one of the transforming growth factor-B receptor or ligand genes. It is associated with widespread familial arterial aneurysm and rupture. Case summary We present a case of a 70-year-old male with a family history of heritable thoracic aortic aneurysm disease who presented to the emergency department with chest pain. His presenting electrocardiogram was significant for ST elevation in the inferior leads with complete heart block. Computed tomography-angiography was done to rule out aortic dissection, which was negative for aortic dissection but did reveal 3.9 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and 2.7 cm bilateral iliac artery aneurysms. He was then taken for invasive angiography and was found to have aneurysmal dilation of the entire right coronary artery measuring up to 6 mm with 100% occlusion secondary to thrombus in the distal segment. He was found to have obstructive disease in the left anterior descending artery and first and second obtuse marginals (OMs). Genetic testing performed confirmed a pathogenic mutation in the TGFBRI gene (TGFBRI c.934G > A p.Gly312Ser) consistent with the diagnosis of LDS. Discussion Although LDS is known to cause arterial aneurysms throughout the arterial tree, there have been no other cases of primary coronary aneurysms reported in this patient population. This case represents the first description of a patient with genetically confirmed LDS presenting with coronary artery aneurysm.

Surprising diagnosis in a patient with acute coronary syndrome: a case report of acute streptococcal pharyngitis-associated perimyocarditis.

Project description:Background:Streptococcal pharyngitis is a common infection, with both suppurative and non-suppurative complications. Most importantly, a streptococcal infection can cause heart disease in different pathophysiological pathways. Acute non-rheumatic perimyocarditis appears to be a more frequent pathological entity associated with streptococcal pharyngitis as once thought, which is poorly understood and explored. Case summary:We present the case of a middle-aged man with acute chest pain, electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, and elevated cardiac enzymes following a recent episode of pharyngitis in which streptococcal-associated perimyocarditis was diagnosed. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging established the diagnosis and allowed cardiac disease monitoring after successful antibiotic therapy resulting in complete clinical recovery. Discussion:Patients presenting with acute chest pain, ECG abnormalities, and cardiac enzyme elevations do not always suffer from an ischaemic heart attack. A thorough investigation comprising a detailed past medical history and non-invasive imaging such as CMR are the cornerstones for unravelling a correct diagnosis and implementing a proper treatment-as was shown in the present clinical case.
