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.

Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Detected by Transthoracic Echocardiography.

Project description:Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare findings caused by atherosclerosis in about 50% of cases. They are usually diagnosed using coronary angiography, cardiac computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. In this report, we present a rare case of giant, isolated right CAA, detected by transthoracic echocardiography in an adult patient with unstable angina. Diameters of the aneurysm were 3.6 cm × 2.7 cm. Anterior-septal hypokinesia of the left ventricle was also noted. A comprehensive echocardiographic examination, including contrast study, excluded alternative diagnoses and supported the hypothesis of a coronary ectasia. The coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis of giant coronary aneurysm and revealed a severe three-vessel disease. The patient was treated with cardiac surgery a few days later: two coronary artery bypass grafts and exclusion of the aneurysm by surgical legation were successfully performed.

Coronary artery intramural hematoma, a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention.

Project description:Coronary artery intramural hematoma is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention which develops from intimal tear of coronary artery and propagates by blood accumulation along the medial surface of adjacent segment. Fifty-three-year-old male presented with nonexertional chest pain; he was referred after a positive stress test with+ moderate lateral wall ischemia. Coronary angiography showed 80% lesion in mid-left anterior descending artery (mLAD). Angiogram after angioplasty with 2.0 mm × 15 mm balloon and 3.0 mm × 15 mm drug-eluting-stent demonstrated a new stenotic lesion distal to stented mLAD segment. Subsequently, an overlapping 3.0 mm × 30 mm stent was placed with effective restoration of blood flow through LAD. During percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), balloon predilatation can result in plaque fracture and stent deployment may cause intimal tear forming intramural hematoma which can lead to post-PCI myocardial infarction necessitating prompt detection by intravascular imaging with intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. Management is based on individual patient's characteristics and includes medical therapy, angiographic surveillance or repeat PCI.

Acute saddle pulmonary embolism: A rare complication of mycoplasma pneumonia.

Project description:Background/introductionMycoplasma pneumonia affects 1% of the population in the United States. The majority of patients infected with Mycoplasma experience upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, and about 10% of patients infected with Mycoplasma develop pneumonia. A rare complication is a pulmonary embolism (PE), which may be life-threatening if not diagnosed early and treated promptly. Our case explores the presentation of Mycoplasma pneumonia complicated by acute saddle PE, an association only reported in the form of case reports globally.Case presentationA 75-year-old previously healthy female presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath. The patient was found to be in acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to community acquired pneumonia and antibiotics were started. During hospitalization, her respiratory failure worsened and had to be escalated to a non-rebreather mask. Repeat chest X-ray showed a possible developing infiltrate on the left side. Antibiotic coverage was escalated and broadened. Serology was positive for mycoplasma pneumoniae. Telemetry monitoring showed non-sustained episodes of Atrial Fibrillation and Electrocardiogram showed the presence of new-onset SIQIIITIII. Computer Tomography Angiography of the chest showed acute saddle PE. The patient was subsequently upgraded to the ICU, where she was intubated and started on catheter-directed thrombolysis to decrease clot burden.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first case of acute saddle PE in a live patient with mycoplasma pneumonia. This entity is important in order to ensure early diagnosis of PE in association with mycoplasma pneumonia and the initiation of early treatment to improve patient outcomes.

Prognostic value of proximal left coronary artery flow velocity detected by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography.

Project description:BackgroundLesions in the proximal left coronary artery (LCA) are associated with a poor prognosis compared with other lesional sites. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) can help to detect proximal LCA flow, and an accelerated coronary flow velocity (CFV) indicates the presence of proximal LCA lesions. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of CFV in the proximal LCA measured by TTDE.MethodsWe enrolled 1472 consecutive hemodynamically stable patients with known or suspected heart disease whose CFV was successfully detected using TTDE accompanied by routine echocardiography between 2008 and 2011. The primary outcome was cardiac death (acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death) and patients were followed up over a median of 6.3 years.ResultsOverall, 42 cardiac deaths (3%) were observed. An increased CFV was significantly associated with the outcome in several models based on potential confounders (age, rate pressure product, Framingham Risk Score, diabetes, coronary artery disease, hemoglobin, brain natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular mass, left ventricular ejection fraction, and E/e'). Using a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal cut-off value for the CFV to the association of the outcome was 37 cm/s (area under the curve, 0.70; sensitivity, 82%; specificity, 62%). In sequential Cox proportional hazards models, the CFV added incremental prognostic information to the clinical and basic echocardiographic parameters (chi-squared: 110.7 to 146.6, P < 0.01).ConclusionsAn increased CFV in the proximal LCA was associated with cardiac death, incremental to the clinical and basic echocardiographic parameters.

Diagnosis and Thrombolytic Management of Massive Intraoperative Pulmonary Embolism Guided by Point of Care Transthoracic Echocardiography.

Project description:Perioperative pulmonary embolism can go undetected until the sudden onset of cardiopulmonary collapse. Point of care echocardiography in such setting can narrow the differential diagnosis of precipitous instability and facilitate tailored, rather than empiric, therapy in the event of a massive pulmonary embolism. We describe the diagnosis and successful multidisciplinary management of intraoperative massive pulmonary embolism aided by both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Key aspects regarding the classification and treatment of pulmonary embolism are subsequently reviewed.
