Right-to-left shunting through the unidirectional valved patch after closure of ventricular septal defect.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative transesophageal echocardiography images of a patient undergoing unidirectional valved patch closure of ventricular septal defect in the setting of severe pulmonary hypertension are presented. The images and videos elegantly demonstrate a functioning valve without any obstruction to the left ventricular outflow.

Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass in a Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect.

Project description:A 50-year-old man presented with an episode of chest pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the presence of a large ventricular septal aneurysm partially closing a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, prolapsing into the right ventricular outflow tract, and mimicking a mass. We illustrate the diagnostic approach and management of such ventricular septal aneurysms. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Successful recovery from refractory hypoxia due to right-to-left shunting associated with iatrogenic atrial septal defect after catheter ablation in a patient with a left-ventricular assist device: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCatheter ablation (CA) has been reported to be an effective therapeutic option for ventricular arrhythmias, even in patients with a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD). However, the issues of right-to-left shunting due to iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD) associated with procedures for CA have not been well documented. We describe a rare case of refractory hypoxia associated with right-to-left shunting via iASD after CA through the transseptal approach in an LVAD patient.Case summaryA 52-year-old Asian man with a continuous-flow implantable LVAD and progressive right ventricular (RV) dysfunction was admitted because of refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) and subsequent right heart failure. Since VT could not be controlled by intravenous administration of multiple antiarrhythmic drugs, VT ablation via the transseptal approach was performed. Ventricular tachycardia was terminated to the sinus rhythm after VT ablation; however, hypoxia associated with significant right-to-left shunting across the iASD was detected. Intensive medical management, such as an adjusted mechanical ventilator to increase pulmonary vascular compliance and adjustment of LVAD pump speed, as well as the use of intravenous inotropes to support impaired RV function successfully stabilized the haemodynamic and improved hypoxia for the disappearance of right-to-left shunting. Echocardiography at 7 months after CA showed that the significant iASD and right-to-left shunting had disappeared.DiscussionThe evaluation of RV function prior to VT ablation via the transseptal approach is important in the postoperative management of patients with LVAD, because RV dysfunction may cause refractory hypoxia due to iASD.

Complications caused by iatrogenic right-to-left shunt after surgical closure of atrial septal defect: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAtrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart disease. For this condition, surgical treatment can be required depending on the size and type of ASD. This study included a case of a patient who complained of persistent dyspnoea after the surgical treatment for ASD.Case summaryA 16-year-old girl who underwent a surgical patch closure for ASD at the age of 2 years presented to the emergency department and was diagnosed with acute stroke. Since childhood, she had suffered from exertional dyspnoea due to an unknown cause. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal chambers size and function and no signs of right heart strain. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) revealed a misplaced interatrial patch from the previous surgery, which allowed the whole blood to flow from the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium (LA), creating a large right-to-left shunt that resulted in stroke and heart failure. The patient underwent surgical treatment, and her symptoms improved significantly. Six months later, she was doing well without neurological complications and dyspnoea.DiscussionThis patient experienced stroke at the age of 16 years and had been suffering from heart failure since childhood. A large right-to-left shunt flow from the IVC to the LA by misplaced interatrial patch was found using TOE, right-sided heart catheterization, and inferior caval venography. This diagnosis should be considered in patients complaining of persistent dyspnoea with hypoxia after the surgical repair of ASD.

Closure of Iatrogenic Atrial Septal Defect After Placement of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device.

Project description:An 86-year-old woman experienced hypoxia with right-to-left flow across an iatrogenic atrial septal defect after deployment of a left atrial appendage closure device. Emergent closure of the defect was performed with an atrial septal occluder device with resolution of hypoxia. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Transcatheter closure of complex iatrogenic ventricular septal defect: a case report.

Project description:Background:Iatrogenic membranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are rare complications of cardiothoracic surgery, such as septal myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Transcatheter closure is considered an appealing alternative to surgery, given the increased mortality associated with repeated surgical procedures, but reports are extremely limited. Case summary:We herein report the case of a 63-year-old woman with HOCM who underwent successful percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic VSD after septal myectomy. Two percutaneous techniques are discussed, namely the 'muscular anchoring' and the 'buddy wire delivery', aimed at increasing support and providing stability to the system during percutaneous intervention. Discussion:Transcatheter closure represents an attractive minimally invasive approach for the management of symptomatic iatrogenic VSDs. The new techniques described could help operators to cross tortuous and tunnelled defects and to deploy closure devices in case of complex VSD anatomy.

Project description:Physical examination is becoming a lost art. We describe a case of a patient who was referred to us with an initial diagnosis of ventricular septal defect. Discordance between imaging findings and the physical examination led to a diagnosis of an accessory left ventricle, a rare but benign congenital cardiac condition. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
