Cardiac resynchronization therapy in an orthotopic heart transplant recipient.

Project description:Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy in selected patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), its role in orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) recipients remains understudied. We describe a case of successful CRT implantation in an OHT recipient for HFrEF and high-grade atrioventricular block. This case highlights the deliberations made given the lack of clinical trial and observational evidence for this therapy in OHT recipients.Learning objectiveThis case demonstrates the feasibility of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in an orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) recipient and adds to the scarcely reported data on the utility of CRT in this population. Given the exclusion of OHT recipients from the major CRT trials, further research is required to refine the indications for CRT implantation in this population.

Institutional volume and the effect of recipient risk on short-term mortality after orthotopic heart transplant.

Project description:We developed a validated 50-point recipient risk index predicting short-term mortality after orthotopic heart transplant (OHT). This study examined the relationship between institutional volume and recipient risk on post-OHT mortality.We used United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) data to identify primary OHT recipients between January 2000 and April 2010. Centers were stratified by mean annual volume. Preoperative Index for Mortality Prediction After Cardiac Transplantation risk scores were calculated for each patient with our validated 50-point system. Primary outcomes were 30-day and 1-year survivals. Multivariable logistic regression analysis included interaction terms to examine effect modification of risk and volume on mortality.In all, 18,226 patients underwent transplant at 141 centers: 1173 (6.4%) recipients at low-volume centers (<7 procedures/y), 5353 (29.4%) at medium-volume centers (7-15 procedures/y), and 11,700 (64.2%) at high-volume centers (>15 procedures/y). Low center volume was associated with worse 1-year mortality (odds ratio, 1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-1.92; P < .001). For 1-year survival, there was significant positive interaction between center volume and recipient risk score (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.07; P = .02), indicating effect of risk on mortality at low-volume centers greater than from either variable analyzed individually. Among high-risk recipients (score ?10), 1-year survival was improved at high-volume centers (high, 79%; medium, 75%; low, 64%).In analysis of UNOS data with our validated recipient risk index, institutional volume acted as an effect modifier on association between risk and mortality. High-risk patients had higher mortality at low-volume centers; differences dissipated among lower-risk recipients. These data support a mandate for high-risk transplants at higher-volume centers.

A case report of an unusual left atrial mass.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac foreign bodies (FBs) are rare findings that may present as cardiac masses initially. Here, we present an exceptional and rare case of a hypodermic needle FB that transmigrated to the left atrium and presented as a left atrial mass.Case summaryA 28-year-old woman with multiple psychiatric disorders including intentional FB ingestion and self-inflicting injuries presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and chest pain that radiated to the left arm and face for 2 weeks. An echocardiogram was performed revealing a left atrial mass concerning for myxoma. During the surgical removal of the mass, a hypodermic needle was found attached to the roof of the left atrium surrounded by thrombotic and fibrotic tissue, which was confirmed by pathology.DiscussionCardiac FBs are caused generally by penetrating wounds from direct trauma. Fewer cases have been reported regarding cardiac FB caused by ingestion from migration of the object to the heart. Signs and symptoms for cardiac FB may mimic those of cardiac masses. Cardiac FBs often require surgical intervention to avoid complications.

Diagnostic challenges of recurrent left atrial mass: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundDifferential diagnosis of left atrial (LA) masses is challenging because there is a significant overlap in the epidemiological, clinical, and imaging characteristics. Even some histological features can be similar across different types of cardiac masses. Therefore, continuous case discussion between the clinician and the pathologist is essential for a correct diagnosis.Case summaryWe present a case of a patient with a history of cardiac surgery for LA tumour. Histology was compatible with thrombus, although no predisposing causes nor genetic or acquired thrombophilia were identified. After 14 years, the recurrence of LA mass was diagnosed with a routine echocardiography. A review of histological preparations from 2007 with immunohistochemistry techniques not available at that time (calretinin) was consistent with a myxoma. The patient underwent cardiac reoperation with LA mass and interatrial septum excision. Final diagnosis was compatible with a myxoma recurrence.DiscussionMyxoma is the second most frequent benign primary cardiac tumour. Left atrial thrombi can occasionally mimic the typical echocardiographic appearance of a myxoma, and pathological features can sometimes overlap generating diagnostic confusion. Calretinin fixation is useful for differential diagnosis once it is only identified in myxomas but not in thrombi. Any discrepancy between clinical findings and histology should always mandate a review of histological preparations.
