Coronary Artery-Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Fistula After Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: A 56-year-old man presented to the emergency department with chest pain. The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction caused by a left circumflex artery occlusion was made. After conservative treatment, a fistula between the circumflex artery and the left ventricle, and the evolution of the pseudoaneurysm, were noted. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

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.).

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.>.

Acute Myocardial Infarction After Surgical Closure of Coronary Artery Fistula: Importance of Anticoagulant Therapy.

Project description:We present a case of a coronary arteriovenous fistula between the left circumflex (LCX) and the atrium with LCX ectasia. Four months after surgical closure of the fistula, the patient experienced acute myocardial infarction caused by thrombosis in the LCX. Antiplatelet drugs were replaced with anticoagulant agents, and the patient was followed up without adverse events. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating inferior myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:Acquired pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a very rare disorder and mostly occurs after large transmural myocardial infarction (MI) with peak creatine phosphokinase-MB levels greater than 150 IU/mL. Patients developing left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm usually present with angina or heart failure symptoms. Although different imaging modalities exist, coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice for LV pseudoaneurysms detected in the first months after MI. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a relatively small inferior MI due to right coronary artery occlusion and complicated by LV pseudoaneurysm.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after myocardial infarction detected by cardiac MRI.

Project description:Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a grave complication of acute myocardial infarction. Acutely, it has an extremely high rate of mortality, especially if undetected. Chronically, there is paucity of data on how to manage the pathology, especially if detected as an incidental finding. We present a unique case of initially undetected LVFWR in a patient who presented with repeated chest pain. Cardiac MRI enabled the diagnosis and localisation of the original site of LVFWR and provided highly relevant volume calculations. Measurement of both absolute and virtual volumes indicated that aneurysm resection, including the original site of rupture, was surgically feasible without reducing postoperative stroke volume.

Thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPseudoaneurysm of inferior wall of the left ventricle is an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction with high mortality.Case presentationWe report the case of a 63-year-old Tunisian man, diagnosed with a thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and a pericardial effusion after 1 week of angina.ConclusionsLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a serious complication of myocardial infarction that has atypical presentations. Diagnosis is generally established by transthoracic echocardiography but confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Urgent surgery is the treatment choice given the risk of embolization and rupture.

Acquired Coronary Artery Fistula With Pseudo-False Aneurysm Detected by Transthoracic Echocardiography After Myocardial Infarction

Project description:Acquired coronary artery fistula complicated with a pseudo-false aneurysm after percutaneous coronary intervention for myocardial infarction is quite rare. In this clinical vignette, we describe the case of a 79-year-old man who was diagnosed by multimodality imaging, especially transthoracic echocardiography, and is doing well after left ventricle reconstruction.

Ectatic left circumflex artery with fistula to coronary sinus presenting with inferior wall myocardial infarction.

Project description:Coronary arteriovenous fistulae are a rare but potentially curable cause of ischaemic heart disease and should be considered as a differential diagnosis especially in patients lacking classical risk factors for coronary artery disease. We discuss one such case of cardiac ischaemia resulting from a coronary arteriovenous fistula. While there are sporadic case reports of similar patients in medical literature, our patient is the first reported case of ST-elevation myocardial infarction secondary to the fistulous connection.
