Left Ventricular Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematoma With Late Ventricular Tachycardia Storm.

Project description:This case describes an uncommon discovery of a left ventricular intramyocardial dissecting hematoma in a patient experiencing a ventricular tachycardia storm. Imaging modalities, including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance, assisted in diagnosing the intramyocardial dissecting hematoma. The patient underwent conservative treatment and received a single-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Left Ventricular Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematomas.

Project description:Intramyocardial dissection is a rare complication of myocardial infarction, trauma, and percutaneous intervention. It is usually caused by hemorrhagic dissection among the spiral myocardial fibers. We hereby report the case of a patient with left ventricular intramyocardial dissection who presented with acute decompensated heart failure. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Post myocardial infarction left ventricular intramyocardial dissecting hematoma penetrated right ventricular outflow tract: a rare complication report.

Project description:BackgroundIntramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) is a rare mechanical complication following myocardial infarction (MI), and only a few isolated cases have been reported to date. IDH presents with diverse clinical manifestations, often resulting in missed or misdiagnosed cases due to limited physician understanding. The diagnosis and treatment of IDH is a major challenge.Case presentationsWe report a case of acute extensive anterior MI in a 73-year-old woman, who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); the left ventricular intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (LVIDH) penetrated the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), resulting in thrombus formation and subsequent RVOT obstruction. Clinically insignificant IDH was detected by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at 3 days, 43 days, and 75 days post-PCI, with characteristic changes in the left ventricular wall ultrasound images. This unusual case highlights the important role of continuous transthoracic echocardiography in identifying this rare complication of LVIDH. After a detailed discussion with the patient, the choice between conservative or surgical management of IDH depends on factors such as the size of the hematomae, left ventricular systolic function, and the patient's clinical and haemodynamic status. In this particular case, conservative management was chosen by the patient who declined surgery but unfortunately succumbed to cardiogenic shock.ConclusionsThis case describes a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and also focuses on the utility of TTE in the diagnosis of this rare complication. Whether LVIDH is treated conservatively or surgically requires careful evaluation to achieve the best prognosis for the patient.

Early Spontaneous Remission of Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematoma.

Project description:Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma is a rare but potentially fatal complication of myocardial infarction. The decision to adopt a surgical or conservative strategy may depend on the clinical and hemodynamic stability of patients. Regardless, the precise and temporal assessment of the structure of hematoma is imperative. We herein report the first case of a patient with early spontaneous remission of intramyocardial dissecting hematoma successfully managed by a conservative approach with multimodality imaging.

Ventricular Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematoma: What Is its True Clinical Evolution and the Best Treatment?

Project description:Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH), in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome, is a rare type of cardiac rupture. However, the best treatment for IDH in each clinical scenario is not clearly defined. We present a case in which the best approach for IDH and its final outcome are discussed.

Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematoma: A Mechanical Complication Needing Surgical Therapy?

Project description:Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma is a form of cardiac rupture caused by myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, or trauma. It is a cavity between myocardial fibers caused by partial rupture of the ventricular wall. Therapeutic management, including the timing for surgical approach, has not been standardized. We present a case series describing 4 patients. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma mimicking left ventricular clot, a rare complication of myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma is a rare complication of myocardial infarction (MI) associated with high mortality rates. Studies and research of this occurrence are limited largely to isolated case reports or case series. We report a case of late presenting MI, where on initial echocardiogram had what was thought to be an intraventricular clot. However, upon further evaluation, the patient actually had an intramyocardial haematoma, with the supporting echocardiographic features to distinguish it from typical left ventricular (LV) clot. While this prevented the patient from receiving otherwise unnecessary anticoagulation, this diagnosis also put him at a much higher risk of mortality. Despite exhaustive medical and supportive management, death as consequence of pump failure occurred after 2 weeks. This report highlights the features seen on echocardiography which support the diagnosis of an intramyocardial haematoma rather than an LV clot, notably the various acoustic densities, a well visualized myocardial dissecting tear leading into a neocavity filled with blood, and an independent endocardial layer seen above the haematoma. Based on this report, we wish to highlight the importance of differentiating intramyocardial haematomas from intraventricular clots in patients with recent MI.
