Complete Atrioventricular Block: A Rare Complication of MitraClip Implantation.

Project description:MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Inc., Santa Clara, California) has emerged as a viable alternative for treatment of symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation. Conduction abnormalities are not a known complication of this procedure. We report a case of complete heart block without a ventricular escape rhythm immediately following MitraClip placement near the medial leaflets (A3-P3) in a patient with underlying trifascicular block. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula: A Rare Complication of Pacemaker Implantation.

Project description:Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both were repaired endovascularly and had good outcomes post-repair. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Left atrial wall dissection: a rare sequela of native-valve endocarditis.

Project description:Left atrial wall dissection is a rare condition; most cases are iatrogenic after mitral valve surgery. A few have been reported as sequelae of blunt chest trauma, acute myocardial infarction, and invasive cardiac procedures. On occasion, infective endocarditis causes left atrial wall dissection. We report a highly unusual case in which a 41-year-old man presented with native mitral valve infective endocarditis that had caused left atrial free-wall dissection. Although our patient died within an hour of presentation, we obtained what we consider to be a definitive diagnosis of a rare sequela, documented by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.

Left atrial endocarditis as a rare complication of mitral valve endocarditis: a clinical case.

Project description:BackgroundInfective Endocarditis (IE) is considered as a multifaceted problem in every aspect from etiology and presentation to diagnosis and management. Early recognition of this disease and especially its complications, remain a critical task for the cardiologist. Atrial endocarditis is a rare and sometimes unrecognized complication of mitral valve endocarditis.Case presentationWe present a 48 year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic because of recent onset of malaise, fever, jaundice and peripheral edema. Important physical findings were peripheral stigmata of IE in addition to holosystolic murmur over the left sternal border. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiophy revealed a severe eccentric MR due to a flailed posterior mitral valve caused by IE. The presence of atrial septal endocarditis caused by jet streaming was also observed. Blood culture was positive for streptococcus oralis and antibiotic therapy was immediately initiated. Considering the large burden of infective tissue, the patient was planned for an early surgical intervention. A minimally invasive resection of the atrial mass, direct closure of the defect, resection of the diseased portions of mitral leaflets and implantation of a biological mitral valve prosthesis was performed. Intra-operative and histological findings confirmed provisional diagnosis by echocardiography.ConclusionsTogether with comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation, attention should be placed on mural vegetations and excluded among all cases of mitral valve endocarditis, particularly those with severe eccentric regurgitant jets.

Surgical management of iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection.

Project description:This is the case of a 40-year-old female diagnosed with NSTEMI. She underwent coronary angiography and suffered from type F left main coronary artery dissection. After hemodynamic stabilization, she was transferred to the nearest cardiothoracic surgery unit and underwent emergency coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This report highlights important concepts in the management of a rare complication and emphasizes the surgical treatment decision-making, underlying an unusual but effective treatment approach.

Left ventricular free wall perforation and left atrial dissection: unusual complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation for Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Project description:A 70-year-old woman with Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome developed cardiac tamponade while undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for left posterolateral accessory pathway from the ventricular side below the mitral valve, requiring emergency surgery. During surgery, the patient was found to have perforation of the left posterior free wall as well as left atrial dissection. The patient died despite emergency measures. This case was remarkable because radiofrequency catheter ablation resulted in two very rare complications occurring at the same time in a patient.
