Acute Myocardial Infarction due to External Compression of the Left Main Coronary Artery by a Large Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough rare, external compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a pulmonary arterial aneurysm (PAA) as a consequence of pulmonary arterial hypertension causing stable angina pectoris is well described. However, acute myocardial infarction is extremely rare, particularly with a full array of electrocardiographic, biochemical, and echocardiographic features, as in this scenario.CaseIn this case, a 62-year-old man with a past history of severe fibrotic lung disease was hospitalised with chest pain. The patient had dynamic anterolateral ischaemic changes on electrocardiography and serially elevated high-sensitivity troponin I. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed impaired left ventricular ejection fraction with anterolateral hypokinesis. Coronary angiography with intracoronary imaging revealed external compression of the LMCA. Computer tomography (CT) scans confirmed new PAA, compared to previous scans. The patient was successfully treated by percutaneous coronary stent implantation.ConclusionProgressive dilatation of the pulmonary artery due to pulmonary arterial hypertension can result in acute MI secondary to external compression of the LMCA. Clinicians should be mindful of acute coronary syndromes in patients with long-standing pulmonary hypertension presenting with chest pain.

Left main coronary artery compression by a large pulmonary artery aneurysm in the absence of pulmonary hypertension: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are rare and they are infrequently diagnosed due to the non-specificity of their symptoms. However, their related complications, mainly described in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.Case summaryWe report the case of a 64-year-old woman previously operated on for pulmonary valve stenosis, who presented with rapid worsening of dyspnoea and sudden onset of chest pain. Physical examination did not show heart failure symptoms, and an echocardiogram showed significant but not severe pulmonary regurgitation with preserved right and left ventricular function. Estimated pulmonary artery (PA) pressure was normal. As myocardial ischaemia was suspected the patient underwent a coronary computed tomography angiography that showed compression of the left main coronary artery by a large PAA. Early diagnosis led to surgery that solved her symptoms.DiscussionComprehensive medical evaluation of symptomatic patients with PA dilatation, even in the absence of PH, is key to rule out the possibility of serious complications as soon as possible.

Pulmonary artery from the left main coronary artery.

Project description:The usual sources of pulmonary blood flow in pulmonary atresia (PA) with(VSD) are patent ductus arteriosus and aortopulmonary collaterals. However, rarely fistulous collaterals may also arise from the coronary arteries which usually open into the main pulmonary trunk or branch pulmonary arteries. In such cases, selective coronary angiogram may be required for the demonstration of pulmonary arterial anatomy. A case of PA with VSD with failure to demonstrate pulmonary arteries on routine catheterization study (ventricular, aortic root, and descending aortic angiograms) is being presented here. A coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula was suspected in view of dilated left main coronary artery, and pulmonary arteries were well demonstrated with selective coronary angiogram.

Left main coronary artery compression by a dilated main pulmonary artery and left coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in a patient with heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension and FLNA mutation.

Project description:Left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease due to external compression by a dilated main pulmonary artery (MPA) is an uncommon clinical entity. Here, we describe a 52-year-old woman with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and anteroseptal old myocardial infarction (OMI). The cause of the OMI was external compression of the LMCA by the dilated MPA and aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva. The patient's sister (aged 56 years) had also been diagnosed with PAH and both women had a novel heterozygous splicing mutation, IVS2-2A > G (c.374-2A > G in NM_001456), in the filamin A ( FLNA) gene. To our knowledge, this is the first report of HPAH which is likely to be due to FLNA mutation and compression of the LMCA between a dilated MPA and aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva.

A Rare Case of Takayasu Arteritis With Total Left Main Coronary Artery Occlusion.

Project description:We report the case of a young woman with chest pain and recurrent abortion. The patient was found to have Takayasu arteritis. Drug therapy was started, and emergency bypass surgery was performed. The case showed the possible clinical manifestation of vasculitis as a recurrent abortion, followed by total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
