A Rare Complication Observed during Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Foreign Body Migration from the Right Kidney to the Left Lung.

ABSTRACT: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the first-line treatment in large, multiple stones and lower calyceal stones. Majority of complications associated with PNL are minor and clinically insignificant. It was seen that distal piece (2 cm in size) of ureter catheter observed at pelvis was found at the parenchyma of left lung on the perioperative fluoroscopy in the patient undergoing PNL for right kidney stone. We presented this complication to stress that a foreign body can pass into circulation presumably through venous injury and can migrate to the lung.

Urinothorax: A rare complication of percutaneous nephrostomy.

Project description:We present a case of a urinothorax resulting from treatment of genitourinary pathology. The presentation, diagnosis, and management of a 46-year-old female with an urinothorax are discussed. Urinothorax is a rare cause of a pleural effusion, most commonly arising from a traumatic etiology. Imaging can be crucial in the diagnosis, particularly computerized tomography (CT), which can help characterize any associated causative genitourinary abnormalities such as anatomical defects or a urinoma. A urinothorax is often posttraumatic in etiology, associated with the treatment of genitourinary pathology, as in this case. Treatment of the source of the urine leak is required to properly manage an urinothorax and often requires a multi-disciplinary approach.

Septic embolization of left and right coronary arteries resulting in sudden death: A rare complication of infective endocarditis.

Project description:Bacterial endocarditis gives rise to a variety of complications due to local tissue damage, immunological phenomena, and embolic phenomena. Only a small number of cases of coronary embolization have been reported in infective endocarditis patients. This is a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis in a postpartum mother complicated by fatal left and right coronary artery embolization. A 32-year-old postpartum mother with a history of rheumatic heart disease presented with a history of fever, shortness of breath, and bilateral ankle edema for 1-week duration. On admission, the patient was alert, febrile with a pulse rate of 90 beats/min, blood pressure 105/70 mmHg, and her lungs were clear. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed vegetations attached to both mitral and aortic valves. She was started on intravenous antibiotics. Her fever was settled and during the following 2 weeks she was clinically improving with settling inflammatory markers. On the 20th day of the illness, the patient developed sudden onset of chest pain, dyspnea with sinus bradycardia, and later developed pulseless electric activity. She expired despite intense cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Postmortem revealed multiple vegetations in both mitral and aortic valves and complete occlusion of both left and right coronary ostia by embolized vegetative materials. <Learning objective: Subacute bacterial endocarditis with large and mobile vegetations can give rise to embolization. Although most of them cause peripheral embolization, there is a possibility of fatal coronary embolization. This case highlights the importance of early surgical intervention in bacterial endocarditis with large, multiple, and mobile vegetations even though the patient is responding to the antibiotics.>.

Aorto-right ventricular fistula: a rare complication of Abiotrophia Endocarditis.

Project description:A 41-year-old African male presented with worsening dyspnea and cachexia concerning for congestive heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a large mass attached to the aortic valve leaflet, mass attached to the flail anterior mitral valve leaflet, severe pulmonary hypertension and dilatation of the aortic root along with fistula between the right coronary aortic cusp and the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract. Blood cultures grew Abiotrophia Defectiva (AD) sensitive to vancomycin. Patient underwent emergent surgical closure of aorto RV fistula and aortic root replacement along with pulmonary and mitral valve replacement. Endocarditis caused by AD has been reported to result in heart failure, septic embolization and destruction of the valve despite use of appropriate antibiotics. To our knowledge, this is the only case of AD endocarditis without any identified entrance route; requiring replacement of pulmonary, mitral and aortic valve due to extensive valvular damage and large vegetations.

Coronary artery intramural hematoma, a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention.

Project description:Coronary artery intramural hematoma is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention which develops from intimal tear of coronary artery and propagates by blood accumulation along the medial surface of adjacent segment. Fifty-three-year-old male presented with nonexertional chest pain; he was referred after a positive stress test with+ moderate lateral wall ischemia. Coronary angiography showed 80% lesion in mid-left anterior descending artery (mLAD). Angiogram after angioplasty with 2.0 mm × 15 mm balloon and 3.0 mm × 15 mm drug-eluting-stent demonstrated a new stenotic lesion distal to stented mLAD segment. Subsequently, an overlapping 3.0 mm × 30 mm stent was placed with effective restoration of blood flow through LAD. During percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), balloon predilatation can result in plaque fracture and stent deployment may cause intimal tear forming intramural hematoma which can lead to post-PCI myocardial infarction necessitating prompt detection by intravascular imaging with intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. Management is based on individual patient's characteristics and includes medical therapy, angiographic surveillance or repeat PCI.

Case report: Right coronary artery rupture-A rare complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Project description:An 8-month-old female experienced a life-threatening right coronary artery rupture resulting from cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) 1 week after corrective surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Emergency exploratory thoracotomy was performed due to uncorrectable hemorrhagic shock. During exploration, active bleeding was detected in the anterior branch of the right ventricular coronary artery. After the repair, the patient's condition improved. Coronary artery rupture is an extremely rare complication of CPR. Here, we present a case that provides new reflections and warnings to clinicians.

Case Report: Rare percutaneous coronary intervention for "right" main bifurcation.

Project description:We presented the case of a patient with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction with coronary arteries of an anomalous origin, an interarterial course of the LMCA, a unique wide-angle "right" main bifurcation lesion, and a high SYNTAX score. Management with contemporary PCI and imaging may be an alternative to surgery.

Lethal left cardiac thromboembolism in infant: A rare complication of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Project description:If acute or severe infectious are know that risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE), the role active tuberculosis is ill defined, despite different case reports and many small case series have proposed an association between VTE and chronic infectious such as tuberculosis. We are highlighting an exceptional phenomenon correlation between intra-cardiac thromboembolism and pulmonary tuberculosis and concluded that active tuberculosis should include in the physician's evaluation of intra-cardiac thromboembolism risk.
