Right-side pulmonary agenesis with atrial septal defect in adult.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary agenesis, a rare congenital condition, is incompatible with life when present bilateral, while unilateral agenesis is usually detected in infancy or early childhood. Rare asymptomatic patients may reach adulthood undiagnosed, with signs mimicking common conditions presenting as radiopaque hemithorax with ipsilateral mediastinal shift. Here, we describe a case of a young lady, with history of consanguinity, who presented with complaints, suggestive of lower respiratory tract infection, and was investigated and diagnosed to be a case of right-side pulmonary agenesis with large ostium secondum atrial septal defect. Our present case emphasizes the importance of presence of pulmonary agenesis with cardiac congenital anomaly, remaining asymptomatic until adulthood, particularly in patients born of parents with consanguineous marriages.

Atrial septal defect with normal pulmonary arterial pressure in adult cyanotic patient.

Project description:A 22-year-old male presented with recurrent stroke, central cyanosis, and dyspnea. Transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac catheterization revealed bidirectional shunt flow through atrial septal defect (ASD) without pulmonary arterial hypertension. The orifice of inferior vena cava facing towards ASD opening led partially right to left shunt resulting in cyanosis with normal pulmonary arterial pressure.

Echocardiographic Hypertrabeculated/Non-compacted Right Ventricle Accompanied by Atrial Septal Defect and Anomalous Pulmonary Vein Connection.

Project description:Myocardial noncompaction (NC) is a disorder of the embryonic endomyocardial morphogenesis frequently associated with congenital cardiac abnormalities. NC predominantly affects the left ventricle (LV). Right ventricle (RV) NC may occur in association with LV involvement or in isolation. A 47-year-old woman was admitted for atrial septal defect closure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed hypertrabeculation of the RV apex, consisting of multiple deep recesses with the entrance of blood flow in color Doppler imaging, suggestive of isolated RV hypertrabeculation/NC. The RV and right atrium (RA) were enlarged, and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was slightly increased. Our patient's associated abnormalities were atrial septal defect (superior sinus venosus type), anomalous connection of the right upper pulmonary vein to the junction of the superior vena cava and the RA, and large patent foramen ovale. Association between atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection and isolated hypertrabeculated/noncompacted RV should be considered by cardiologists.

Pulmonary valve infective endocarditis in an adult patient with atrial septal defect presenting with multiple pulmonary emboli - A case report.

Project description:Isolated pulmonary valve (PV) infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare entity accounting for <2 % of all cases of IE. Risk of PV IE in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) is considered negligible and there have only been a few cases reported to date. We describe a case of a 51-year-old woman with an ostium secundum ASD with associated PV endocarditis, who presented with multiple pulmonary septic emboli. Initially we tried antibiotic therapy and later she underwent successful surgery with ASD closure, vegetectomy, and PV repair. We want to draw attention to the possibility of IE of PV in a patient with ASD and report successful management with surgery and good recovery following treatment.Learning objectiveIn this study, we highlight the importance of keeping a strong clinical suspicion of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients presenting with fever and a pulmonary focus, especially in the setting of congenital heart disease (including even atrial septal defect). We also discuss the possible indications for surgical management in patients with pulmonary valve IE.

Thrombus Formation in the Right Atrium after Surgical Closure of Atrial Septal Defect.

Project description:Atrial septal defect is the most common congenital lesion in adults following bicuspid aortic valve. There are two closure strategies as follows: one surgical and the other percutaneous. Various complications such as atrial arrhythmias and development of thrombus have been reported after surgical closure. Herein, we present a case of right atrial thrombi formed at different localizations in the right atrium in a patient who was asymptomatic and diagnosed late.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (186). Atrial septal defect with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Project description:We report a case of a 61-year-old woman with a large atrial septal defect (ASD) that was detected incidentally on chest radiography and computed tomography when she presented with sepsis. Echocardiography confirmed a large secundum ASD with left-to-right shunt flow, right heart dilatation and severe pulmonary hypertension. The patient had a poor clinical outcome despite intensive care and eventually passed away. Haemodynamically significant ASDs have a known association with increased morbidity and mortality, and their early detection and closure cannot be understated. This article aimed to highlight the imaging features of ASD, with special emphasis on the routine chest radiograph. The pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of ASD are also briefly discussed.
