Delayed Tamponade after Traumatic Wound with Left Ventricular Compression.

ABSTRACT: Delayed cardiac tamponade after a penetrating chest injury is a rare complication. The clinical diagnosis of tamponade is facilitated with imaging. We present a case report of a 23-year-old male who was brought to emergency after multiple stab wounds to the chest. After resuscitation and repair of laceration of right internal mammary artery and right ventricle, he was discharged but later returned with shortness of breath. Echocardiography revealed a rare case of delayed pericardial tamponade causing left ventricular collapse. The pericardial effusion was treated with emergent pericardiocentesis and later required a thoracoscopy guided pericardial window for definitive management.

Left ventricular tamponade- pathophysiology determines the therapeutic approach: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular (LV) tamponade is rare. LV tamponade can occur in cases of a loculated pericardial effusion overlying the LV and in cases of circumferential pericardial effusions in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Both causes of LV tamponade share the common feature of not presenting with the classical features of cardiac tamponade. However, the therapeutic approach of the two is different.Case summaryHere, we report two cases of LV tamponade. The first patient was a case of post-mitral valve replacement who presented with loculated posterior pericardial effusion with LV tamponade. Due to the loculated and posterior nature of the effusion, his pericardial fluid was drained from the axilla by echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance. The second patient presented with features of severe PAH with a circumferential pericardial effusion and LV tamponade. Due to the circumferential nature of the effusion, the pericardiocentesis was performed from the subxiphoid route.DiscussionThe pathophysiology of LV tamponade must be determined accurately before performing pericardiocentesis. Left ventricular tamponade in patients with severe PAH and non-loculated circumferential effusion can be drained from the subxiphoid route, while LV tamponade due to loculated effusion overlying LV must be drained by echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance from the axilla.

Left ventricular simulation of cardiac compression: Hemodynamics and regional mechanics.

Project description:Heart failure is a global epidemic. Left ventricular assist devices provide added cardiac output for severe cases but cause infection and thromboembolism. Proposed direct cardiac compression devices eliminate blood contacting surfaces, but no group has optimized the balance between hemodynamic benefit and excessive ventricular wall strains and stresses. Here, we use left ventricular simulations to apply compressions and analyze hemodynamics as well as regional wall mechanics. This axisymmetric model corresponds with current symmetric bench prototypes. At nominal pressures of 3.1 kPa applied over the epicardial compression zone, hemodynamics improved substantially. Ejection fraction changed from 17.6% at baseline to 30.3% with compression and stroke work nearly doubled. Parametric studies were conducted by increasing and decreasing applied pressures; ejection fraction, peak pressure, and stroke work increased linearly with changes in applied compression. End-systolic volume decreased substantially. Regional mechanics analysis showed principal stress increases at the endocardium, in the middle of the compression region. Principal strains remained unchanged or increased moderately with nominal compression. However, at maximum applied compression, stresses and strains increased substantially providing potential constraints on allowable compressions. These results demonstrate a framework for analysis and optimization of cardiac compression as a prelude to biventricular simulations and subsequent animal experiments.

Percutaneous Management of Left Ventricular Perforation Causing Late Cardiac Tamponade After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Project description:BackgroundWe present a case of left ventricular perforation and delayed cardiac tamponade after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) managed percutaneously. This report describes a novel technique for management of left ventricular perforation after TAVI.Case summaryWe performed elective transfemoral TAVI in a frail 85-year-old lady. Anatomical challenges included tortuous and horizontal aorta and a small left ventricular cavity. A 23-mm Sapien valve was implanted. She developed cardiac tamponade the next day needing emergency pericardiocentesis. Left ventricular angiogram showed perforation of the lateral wall. SURGIFLO Hemostatic Matrix was injected into the pericardial space using Agilis steerable introducer with a good outcome.DiscussionCardiac perforation and tamponade are serious and potentially fatal complications after TAVI. The outcomes in these patients remain poor with high mortality rate even with emergent cardiac surgery. This report describes a novel technique for management of left ventricular perforation after TAVI.

Cardiac Tamponade With a Transaortic Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device: When Alarms Caused No Alarm.

Project description:A 57-year-old man with end-stage heart failure presented with incessant ventricular tachycardia in the setting of cardiogenic shock, requiring support with a percutaneous left ventricular assist device. He underwent ablation of the ventricular tachycardia. Hours later the console alarm was evident, and the patient experienced worsening shock and elevated central venous pressure, leading to a diagnosis of cardiac tamponade. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Case Report: Delayed Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Radiofrequency Ablation of Left Posteromedial Papillary Muscle Ventricular Tachycardia

Project description:A 74-year-old woman presented with incessant wide complex tachycardia that was refractory to cardioversions. Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed on the left ventricular posteromedial papillary muscle. An inaudible steam pop has occurred during the procedure, but we confirmed that there were no complications during the procedure and short-term follow-up of echocardiography. Two months after the procedure, an asymptomatic pseudoaneurysm was identified at the ablation site that had not been observed in the short-term follow-up.

Right Atrial Compression From Biodebris Associated With Long-Term Left Ventricular Assist Device Support

Project description:Biodebris surrounding HVAD (Medtronic) intrapericardial centrifugal-flow left ventricular assist device outflow cannulas is common and appears to accumulate over time. We recently encountered 2 patients on long-term HVAD support with right atrial compression from such biodebris, prompting a review of our institution’s HVAD cohort to better understand this phenomenon.

Pump thrombosis and dynamic outflow graft compression: complications in left ventricular assist device therapy.

Project description:Over the past decade, left ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy has become more prevalent and increasingly safe. Severe complications, such as VAD pump thrombosis and outflow graft obstruction, are rare, yet still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical presentation, VAD alarm and log files, laboratory analysis, and non-invasive cardiac imaging are crucial for establishing the correct diagnosis and determining clinical management. Early intervention is critical to prevent adverse cardiac remodelling or VAD pump failure.
