Innocent left ventricular outflow tract membrane masquerading as vegetation.

ABSTRACT: Innocent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) membranes are a rare entity and found incidentally on echocardiography. The authors report a case of innocent LVOT membrane in a patient who was admitted with ischaemic stroke. Initial transthoracic echocardiography showed a possible valvular vegetation which was thought to be the cause of embolic stroke. Anticoagulation with coumadin and antibiotics were started. Subsequent Transesophageal echocardiography showed that it was more consistent with innocent LVOT membrane and not vegetation. Anticoagulation and antibiotics were discontinued, and on a follow-up over 5 years later, the membrane was stable in size and location without any complications.

Transcatheter Closure of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract-to-Left Atrium Fistula.

Project description:Surgical and rarely transcatheter aortic valve replacement can be complicated by intracardiac fistula. Transcatheter closure of those shunts has been previously reported with favorable results. We describe a case of percutaneous closure of left ventricular outflow tract-to-left atrium fistula after surgical aortic valve replacement using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

An unusual cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has been reported with bio-prosthetic and mechanical mitral valves (MV), though it is more common with the former. The obstruction can be dynamic or fixed. We hereby report a case of fixed LVOTO following bio-prosthetic MV replacement (MVR).

Unstable angina complicated with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) complicated with unstable angina (uAP) has not been described widely, but patients with these two conditions have several problems. Differentiation of the two conditions is also often difficult because the chest symptoms are similar. Moreover, nitrates are commonly used for ischemic heart disease, but have the effect of worsening LVOTO. We experienced three cases of dynamic LVOTO with a sigmoid-shaped septum, and without typical hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, that were complicated with uAP. In all cases, LVOTO was improved after initial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the left anterior descending artery lesion. Next, a dobutamine stress test was performed and LVOTO was provoked again in two cases, but not in a case with small acute myocardial infarction of the basal septum during PCI. All cases remained asymptomatic with beta-blocker therapy. Therefore, PCI and beta-blocker administration for LVOTO with uAP resulted in favorable clinical courses in all three cases. These outcomes suggest that revascularization including PCI should have priority in the therapeutic strategy for a case of acute coronary syndrome with LVOTO.

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:We describe the first case of successful management of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction developing late after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with right ventricular apical pacing. The possible mechanisms of obstruction resolution are described. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Resolution of thrombus in left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm mimicking periaortic abscess.

Project description:Prosthetic valve complications are not uncommon after valve replacement. In this paper we report a female patient who presented with aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis and echocardiographic appearance of periaortic abscess. After 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy, echocardiographic examination revealed resolution of abscess cavity and replacement with a clear blood-filled anechoic sac. Diagnosis was made by cardiac computed tomography, which showed a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm rather than an abscess, located just below the sewing ring of the prosthetic aortic valve. We assumed that either resolution of thrombus in LVOT pseudoaneurysm following effective warfarin therapy or clearance of infective content in pseudoaneurysm after co-administered antibiotics gave rise to change in echocardiographic characteristics in the perivalvular area.

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pseudoaneurysm Formation Following Three Aortic Valve Replacement Surgeries.

Project description:We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left ventricular outflow tract/aortic root as a complication of aortic valve surgery. A 45-year-old Nigerian female presented to our institution's emergency department with chest discomfort. She had three bioprosthetic aortic valve replacements in the preceding year at an outside institution for aortic regurgitation and wanted a second opinion on remaining surgical options. The learning points relevant to this case are as follows: (1) Recognizing potential complications postmultiple valve surgeries, (2) screening patients for chronic infections and rheumatologic conditions that can contribute to failed valve surgeries.

Haemodynamic Interplay Between Concomitant Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction and Aortic Stenosis.

Project description:The authors describe a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with concomitant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and aortic stenosis. Detailed haemodynamic assessment of the serial lesions was performed. Alcohol septal ablation resulted in a significant reduction of gradients across the left ventricular outflow tract.

Loculated Pericardial Effusion: An Uncommon Cause of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

Project description:A patient with a previous lung transplant and aortic valve replacement had progressive dyspnea. He presented with subacute tamponade secondary to a loculated pericardial effusion that caused impaired left ventricular filling and outflow tract obstruction secondary to distortion of the mitral valve apparatus. We demonstrate the imaging features of this presentation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

First case of intracardiac foregut cyst occurring in the left-ventricular outflow tract.

Project description:An 11 day-old female infant underwent resection of a mass in the subaortic region secondary to critical aortic stenosis. At 3 months of age, recurrent severe left-ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOT) in the setting of heart failure prompted redo surgery, and the resected mass revealed an intracardiac foregut cyst, which is a rare finding. To our knowledge, this is the first case describing obstruction of the LVOT.
