Coexistence of congenital left ventricular aneurysm and prominent left ventricular trabeculation in a patient with LDB3 mutation: a case report.

ABSTRACT: The coexistence of congenital left ventricular aneurysm and abnormal cardiac trabeculation with gene mutation has not been reported previously. Here, we report a case of coexisting congenital left ventricular aneurysm and prominent left ventricular trabeculation in a patient with LIM domain binding 3 gene mutation.A 30-year-old Asian man showed paroxysmal sinus tachycardia and Q waves in an electrocardiogram health check. There were no specific findings in physical examinations and serological tests. A coronary-computed tomography angiography check showed normal coronary artery and no coronary stenosis. Both left ventricle contrast echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance showed rare patterns of a combination of an apical aneurysm-like out-pouching structure with a wide connection to the left ventricle and prominent left ventricular trabecular meshwork. High-throughput sequencing examinations showed a novel mutation in the LDB3 gene (c.C793>T; p.Arg265Cys).Our finding indicates that the phenotypic expression of two heart conditions, congenital left ventricular aneurysm and prominent left ventricular trabeculation, although rare, can occur simultaneously with LDB3 gene mutation. Congenital left ventricular aneurysm and prominent left ventricular trabeculation may share the same genetic background.

Left ventricular apical aneurysm in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy-A case report.

Project description:A 56-year-old female, who immigrated to the USA from Honduras, presented with worsening shortness of breath, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and decreased exercise tolerance over the previous 2 months. She was diagnosed 1 year previously with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and non-sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator was placed. Cause for her dilated cardiomyopathy was unknown at that time. On admission, her electrocardiogram showed low voltage complexes, with frequent premature ventricular contractions. Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiogram (2D ECHO) showed severely reduced ejection fraction of 20%, severe mitral regurgitation with left ventricular (LV) hypokinesis, and inferolateral and inferior wall akinesis. On review of her records, a contrast 2D ECHO from the previous year revealed an aneurysm of the LV apical region. Live three-dimensional (3D) ECHO on her present admission showed persistent LV apical aneurysm. Computed tomography angiogram showed no atherosclerotic lesions. Multiple episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia were recorded on telemetry. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of Chagas cardiomyopathy was entertained. Serological tests for Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies were done and returned positive. We report a case of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy that was initially missed but ultimately diagnosed based on the finding of LV apical aneurysm. <Learning objective: Chagas cardiomyopathy is becoming increasingly prevalent in non-endemic countries. One hallmark finding associated with Chagas cardiomyopathy is left ventricle apical aneurysm. We were able to identify this finding with transthoracic contrast 2D ECHO and live 3D ECHO.>.

Post-myocardial infarction left ventricular septal dissecting aneurysm: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPost-infarction perforation of the ventricular septum is recognized as a major complication of post-myocardial infarction. However, post-infarction ventricle dissection is seldom reported, as the ventricular shunt often accompanying this condition is a significant cause of cardiogenic shock. We encountered a rare case of ventricular dissection unaccompanied by a shunt, which caused a state of shock.Case presentationA 67-year-old man was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction with a left ventricular oozing rupture. The occlusion of the left anterior descending artery was aspirated, followed by drainage of the pericardial bleeding and hemostasis of the left ventricle. After 15 h, he presented with sudden cardiogenic shock requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. The transesophageal echocardiogram showed a left ventricular septal aneurysm. Five days later, he underwent an operation, in which a ventricular septal wall dissection with a tear-forming large pseudoaneurysm was found. The tear was closed with a patch. He was weaned off extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation the next day. Αfter 4 months, he was discharged in a stable condition.ConclusionsRecognizing and identifying the cause of cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction is crucial to provide the best treatment and surgical approach. Ventricular septal dissection should be considered, in addition to the usual complications, such as possible papillary muscle rupture, cardiac rupture, and perforation of the interventricular septum.

Repair of left ventricular aneurysm with acellular dermis graft: A case report.

Project description:We report the use of a novel graft material in cardiac surgery, acellular human dermis graft, to repair a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient undergoing surgical ventricular restoration. We also describe the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the dermis graft. We conclude that acellular dermis graft has material handling properties that allow it to be used in left ventricular aneurysm repair. On magnetic resonance imaging, there is no gadolinium enhancement of the graft and the graft is akinetic.

Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm: A rare case report and literature review.

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are rare. Patients with LAAA are often diagnosed incidentally or after cardiac tachyarrhythmia or systemic thromboembolism happen. Early diagnosis and surgical resection is of utmost importance to prevent hazardous adverse events.We present a case of 46-year-old man with congenital LAAA. The individual in this manuscript has given written informed consent to publish these case details.Imaging studies, such as echocardiography, cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated the large cavity arising from the left atrial appendage. The diagnosis of LAAA was confirmed.The patient underwent an aneurysmectomy without any complications.TTE confirmed the disappearance of the LAAA from the left parasternal short-axis view of the aortic root postoperatively. The patient remained asymptomatic without any adverse events at his 3-month follow-up visits.The associated high risk of life-threatening complications and the relative ease of surgical removal suggest that prompt evaluation should be considered in patients with lesions adjacent to the left heart border.

Case report: incessant ventricular fibrillation in a conscious left ventricular assist device patient.

Project description:BackgroundVentricular arrhythmia in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients represents a challenging clinical scenario and the optimal treatment strategy in this unique patient population still needs to be defined.Case summaryWe report on a 61-year-old LVAD patient with incessant ventricular fibrillation (VF) despite multiple unsuccessful attempts to restore normal rhythm with external defibrillation and antiarrhythmic medication. He remained initially stable as an outpatient and subsequently developed secondary organ failure.DiscussionThis case demonstrates that under LVAD support long-term haemodynamic stability is possible even in case of VF, a situation that resembles Fontan circulation. However, ventricular arrhythmias are associated with a high risk of secondary organ damage due to right heart failure if left untreated. In case of refractory ventricular tachycardia or electrical storm listing for heart transplantation with high priority status should be pursued when possible. Alternatively, catheter ablation may be considered in selected cases and be performed in experienced centres in close collaboration with all involved specialists.

Case series: Congenital left ventricular diverticulum.

Project description:Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation characterized by a localized outpouching from the cardiac chamber. The patient is usually asymptomatic. However, complications like embolism, infective endocarditis, arrhythmia and, rarely, rupture can be the initial presentation. Diagnosis can be established by USG, echocardiography, CT angiography, and MRI. We report here two neonates with congenital left ventricular apical diverticulum associated with epigastric hernia.

Concurrent true inferoposterior left ventricular aneurysm and ventricular septal rupture secondary to inferior myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is the most common mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI), it rarely involves the inferior or posterior left ventricular wall. Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) may be a fatal mechanical complication of MI but rarely occurs in the posterior or inferior portion of the interventricular septum. Thus, LVA and VSR as two mechanical complications of MI in the same patient are extremely rare.Case summaryA 65-year-old woman, who had inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction 2 months before without reperfusion therapy, was admitted with exertional dyspnoea for 1 month. Echocardiography and computed tomography revealed true inferoposterior LVA and VSR as concurrent complications of MI. These imaging findings were confirmed during cardiac surgery. After successful coronary bypass grafting and ventriculoplasty, the patient recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital.DiscussionA rare case of post-infarction inferoposterior LVA with concurrent interventricular septal rupture was reported. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography were valuable tools for the diagnosis of this rare condition. Combined coronary bypass grafting and ventriculoplasty were effective in treating this often fatal complication of inferior MI.

Intraoperative diagnosis of an unsuspected ruptured left ventricular aneurysm using transesophageal echocardiography: A case report.

Project description:Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) enables a more accurate visualization of left ventricular posterior aneurysms than transthoracic echocardiography due to the close proximity of the esophagus to the posterior ventricular wall. Therefore, TEE is essential for the accurate diagnosis of posterior aneurysm, particularly in urgent settings where preoperative assessments may be insufficient.

Partial resection of large congenital left ventricular diverticulum in an infant: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation usually requiring total resection.Case presentationThis report describes an infant presenting with a large apical diverticulum with a wide ventricle connection. Given the vicinity of the left anterior descending coronary artery to the diverticulum and its wide ventricular connection, partial resection was undertaken. The patient remained asymptomatic with good heart function 8 months after surgery. The last follow-up echocardiography did not demonstrate any significant left ventricular outpouching.ConclusionsWe advocate early treatment of left ventricular diverticulum in children given the risk of spontaneous rupture of diverticulum, sudden death, and other serious complications if left untreated. For small patients with a wide connection of diverticulum to ventricle, partial resection is a safe option with favorable short-term outcomes.

Case Report: One heart with two lobes: a rare infantile congenital giant left atrial appendage aneurysm.

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is an extremely rare congenital heart abnormality, with varying degrees of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to arrhythmia, thromboembolic event or airway obstruction. Most infantile cases were incidentally found by echocardiography. Contrast-enhanced chest tomography can confirm the diagnosis and inform surgical plan. We describe an asymptomatic young female infant who had a unique extreme cardiomegaly on a chest x-ray and received surgical aneurysmectomy. Her heart was restored to a normal cardiac size after the heart surgery.
