Pneumomediastinum and Mediastinal Hematoma Secondary to Right Brachiocephalic Vein Thrombectomy Mimicking STEMI.

ABSTRACT: A 50-year-old male with a history of hemodialysis dependent chronic kidney disease presented to our emergency department with acute midsternal crushing chest pain. Patient was diagnosed with acute anterolateral wall Myocardial Infraction due to the presence of corresponding ST segment elevations in EKG and underwent emergent cardiac catheterization which revealed normal patent coronaries without any disease. He continued to have chest pain for which CT of the chest was done which revealed pneumomediastinum with mediastinal hematoma, due to the recent attempted thrombectomy for thrombus in his right brachiocephalic vein.

External iliac vein compression secondary to osteolysis-induced hematoma in total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:A 62-year-old man with a history of right total hip arthroplasty, who was managed conservatively for moderate osteolysis, presented with acute-onset, painless, significant, and diffuse right lower extremity edema. Initial laboratory markers were negative for infection. Advanced imaging demonstrated a complex extrapelvic fluid mass along the psoas sheath causing compression of the external iliac vein. Intraoperatively, significant hematoma was removed from the iliopsoas sheath, followed by metal head and liner exchange as well as bone grafting of the osteolytic defects adjacent to the hip implant. Postoperative imaging showed adequate decompression, no deep vein thrombosis, and a patent external iliac vein. At 2 weeks, postoperative swelling completely resolved. At 3 months, the patient recovered to normal baseline level and underwent contralateral total hip arthroplasty for symptomatic osteoarthritis.

Torsion of right lung sequestration mimicking a posterior mediastinal mass presenting as acute abdomen: Usefulness of MR imaging.

Project description:A 15-year-old boy with extralobar sequestration torsion is presented, who presented as an acute abdomen. Chest X-ray and computed tomography on admission revealed an apparent posterior mediastinal mass on the right side at the lower thoracic vertebral level. MR imaging, however, clearly showed scanty fluid around the mass and the subpleural fat layer between the vertebral body and the mass, suggesting its extrapulmonary and intrapleural cavity location. Its hemorrhagic nature was also suggested by the reduced signal on the in-phase as compared to out-of-phase chemical shift images, which helped make correct preoperative diagnosis.

A Mediastinal Hematoma after the Bentall Operation Detected by Transthoracic Echocardiography.

Project description:A round, well-defined mass was incidentally detected at follow-up transthoracic echocardiography in an asymptomatic 36-year-old man with a history of Bentall operation 8 months earlier. Computed tomography angiography of the aorta demonstrated a mediastinal hematoma below the pulmonary artery in the mid-mediastinum. Although mediastinal hematomas are hard to detect after cardiac surgery via transthoracic echocardiography, the probable presence of this complication should be kept in mind during echocardiography.

Absent filling of the superficial middle cerebral vein is associated with reperfusion but not parenchymal hematoma in stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy: an observational study.

Project description:BackgroundParenchymal hematoma (PH) is the most feared complication of reperfusion therapy after stroke. The opacification of the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) on computed tomography perfusion (CTP) has been associated with poor functional outcomes after stroke, while its association with PH has not been verified for acute stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy.MethodsConsecutive patients with acute anterior large artery occlusion (LAO) who received thrombectomy were retrospectively enrolled between May 2018 and May 2019. Absent filing of the SMCV (SMCV-) on CTP-derived CT angiography was defined as no contrast filling of the SMCV across the whole venous phase in the ischemic hemisphere, while SMCV+ was defined as the presence of contrast filling of the SMCV at any time point of the venous phase.ResultsA total of 52 patients were enrolled in the study, and 15 patients (28.8%) developed a PH within 48 hours after thrombectomy. SMCV- was not associated with PH in both the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses (all P>0.05), but was an independent risk factor for reperfusion [modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score of 2b-3; odds ratio (OR) =0.172, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.031-0.960, P=0.045]. Reperfusion was associated with a reduced risk of PH (OR =0.110, 95% CI: 0.013-0.913, P=0.041). However, in a subgroup analysis of patients who had reperfusion, the SMCV- group had a higher rate of PH than the SMCV+ group (40.0% vs. 13.8%, P=0.049).ConclusionsIn patients who received thrombectomy, SMCV- did not predict PH, but was a risk factor for reperfusion. Although reperfusion was a protective factor for PH, the SMCV- group was still at a higher risk of PH compared with the SMCV+ group when reperfusion was successfully achieved.

Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture Complicating Anterior STEMI

Project description:Ventricular free wall rupture is a rare but devastating complication. We report right ventricular free wall rupture complicating anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction caused by a wrap-around left anterior descending coronary artery. In acute cardiac tamponade, a rapid and systematic evaluation of the likely source of bleeding is paramount to prevent disastrous outcomes. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) Central Illustration

Giant mediastinal bronchial artery aneurysm mimicking mediastinal mass: A case report and brief review of the literature.

Project description:Bronchial artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening diagnosis due to catastrophic complications from rupture. Prompt detection and management is key to prevent complications. CT angiogram and digital subtraction angiography are preferred diagnostic imaging modalities. Being very uncommon, these entities can be misdiagnosed as a nonspecific mediastinal soft tissue mass, which can lead to delay in diagnosis and inappropriate or delayed management. We present a case of 72-year-old woman with incidentally detected large bronchial artery pseudoaneurysm, incorrectly classified as mediastinal malignancy at outside facility, receiving follow-up exams for 2 years, before correct diagnosis and management.
