Left ventricular longitudinal function assessment in rabbits after acute occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: To evaluate the left ventricular (LV) longitudinal function changes in rabbits after acute occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).Forty-eight New Zealand white rabbits underwent echocardiography examination. EchoPAC was used to measure LV peak systolic longitudinal strain (LS) of the endocardium, middle myocardium, and epicardium, peak longitudinal strain rate (LSr), segmental and global longitudinal rotation (LR) degrees. Ligated the LAD and repeated all measurements after 10 min.Peak LS and LSr were significantly different between the preoperative and postoperative rabbits among most LV walls (P < 0.05). In apical four-chamber view, there was significant difference in the degrees of rotation of the LV lateral wall in preoperative and postoperative rabbits (P < 0.05). In apical three-chamber view, the rotation degrees of the posterior wall and the LR were significantly lower in the postoperative than in the preoperative (P < 0.001). In apical two-chamber view, the rotation degrees of the inferior wall and the LR were significantly lower in the postoperative (P < 0.05).Left ventricular function was impaired after acute occlusion of LAD. Segmental rotational degrees and changes in LR could be useful indicators of cardiac function during the early phases of acute myocardial ischemia.

Simultaneous left and right ventricular apical thrombi after occlusion of the wrapped left anterior descending artery.

Project description:Left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation is a well-known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is reported to occur in 5-8% of patients who have anterior or apical myocardial infarction. However, right ventricular (RV) thrombus has not previously been reported after AMI. We describe a 54-year-old woman who presented with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to occlusion of the distal left anterior descending artery, which wrapped around the apex and led to simultaneous LV and RV apical thrombi. <Learning objective: This case emphasizes the following: (1) in patients who have a long left anterior descending artery (LAD) that wraps around the apex, even distal LAD occlusion can cause a large infarct area including the apex, inferior wall, and right ventricular apex, as well as serious complications such as cardiac arrest and left ventricular and right ventricular (RV) thrombus. (2) Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is useful for detecting apical thrombus especially in the RV.>.

Ventricular fibrillation storm after revascularization of chronic total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery: is this reperfusion arrhythmia?

Project description:Electrical storm is a life-threatening emergency condition defined as three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VF) within 24 hours requiring anti-tachycardia therapy, electrical cardioversion, or defibrillation. However, studies of the incidence of electrical storm after chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) are limited,7 and post-procedural VF after revascularization of CTO has not been described. The purpose of this article was to present a case of post-operative VF electrical storm after revascularization of CTO of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery to determine whether the electrical storm was caused by reperfusion arrhythmia or compromise of either branch vessels or the collateral circulation during intervention.

Atypical type of dual left anterior descending coronary artery.

Project description:Dual left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is a rare coronary anomaly and is divided into six subgroups in the literature according to the origin and course of the short and long branches of the anomalous artery. We present two distinct cases of dual LAD which are distinguished by two branches of equal length from their counterparts in the literature. <Learning objective: In our cases a novel dual LAD variant is presented with two main branches of equal length and reaches the cardiac apex. Cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons should be aware of these variants to avoid misinterpretation of coronary angiography and intraoperative complications.>.

Effects of different beta adrenoceptor ligands in mice with permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Project description:1. We have studied the effects of three betaAR ligands (carvedilol, alprenolol, and ICI-118551) with different pharmacological profiles and negative efficacy at the beta2AR on cardiac in vivo, in vitro, biochemical and gene expression parameters in mice with permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. 2. Cardiac in vivo parameters were determined using Doppler studies. Mitral-wave E peak velocity (EPV) and aortic peak velocity (AoPV) decreased in the first 2 weeks postocclusion. After 3 weeks of drug treatment, EPV was improved in the carvedilol group to preocclusion values; however, a further reduction in EPV in the alprenolol and control permanent occlusion group was measured and there was no change after ICI-118551 treatment. AoPV was unchanged between weeks 2 and 5 in all groups. 3. The left atria were isolated to record isometric tension responses to isoprenaline. Permanent occlusion significantly reduced the maximum isoprenaline response to 30% of control and carvedilol increased the maximum response to isoprenaline significantly to 60%. 4. The biochemical and gene expression studies revealed different effects of the three betaAR ligands. Most notably, carvedilol reduced gene expression of myosin heavy chain beta. 5. These results indicate that chronic treatment with carvedilol is beneficial in a mouse model of myocardial damage resulting from ischaemia. We hypothesise that these beneficial effects of the drug may be because of the negative efficacy at the beta2AR, combined with beta1AR antagonism.

Anomalous right coronary artery originating from the mid left anterior descending artery.

Project description:A 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia presented with recurrent episodes of chest discomfort. A 12-lead ECG and an echocardiogram were normal. A myocardial perfusion study could not rule out ischemia in the inferior wall. At coronary angiography using the transradial approach, the right coronary artery (RCA) could not be visualized. Angiography of the left coronary system demonstrated non-obstructive atherosclerosis involving the mid segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and a normal circumflex (Cx) artery. The RCA originated from the mid LAD segment distal to the first septal perforator and the first diagonal branch and was free of atherosclerosis disease. A contrast-enhanced 64-slice multi-detector cardiac computed tomography showed that the LAD was severely calcified in the proximal part, and the RCA coursed anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) to reach the right atrioventricular groove. The patient was managed medically and became asymptomatic.

Successful percutaneous coronary intervention to the left anterior descending artery in-stent chronic total occlusion via the left internal mammary artery graft: a case report

Project description:Abstract Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft is technically challenging, requires special consideration due to association with potential complications and therefore, infrequently performed. Data on in-stent chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI via the LIMA graft is even rarer. Case summary A 59-year-old male with a background history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery and previous PCI, presented with progressive chest pain on mild exertion, in the setting of a chronic coronary syndrome. Transradial coronary angiography revealed significant native three-vessel disease with CTO of right coronary, left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex arteries. Left internal mammary artery-LAD was widely patent. The previous LIMA-LAD stent at the anastomosis had a CTO with severe in-stent restenosis (ISR) at the distal end of the stent in the native LAD. The distal LAD was filled from bridging collaterals. Following discussion at the heart team meeting, he underwent successful complex PCI of LAD CTO via the LIMA graft at the site of ISR of previous LIMA-LAD anastomosis stent, which was finally treated with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. Discussion Recurrent angina post-coronary revascularization can be very challenging to manage by medical therapy alone. Percutaneous intervention of complex coronary lesions in these patients requires experience and skill, especially when approaching lesions using the LIMA as a conduit. The use of DCB for ISR management is a well-known strategy; however, adequate lesion preparation is the key to satisfactory outcome.
