Blast Injury: A Very Rare Cause of Left Coronary Artery Dissection.

Project description:Acute coronary artery dissection commonly occurs in young women without cardiovascular risk factors. Predisposing factors, including fibromuscular dysplasia or other vasculopathies, have been demonstrated in its etiology. Here we report the case of a 46-year-old-man who presented with left anterior descending coronary artery dissection caused by blast injury after a bomb explosion. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery: A rare cause of cardiogenic shock.

Project description:A left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis due to extrinsic compression by mediastinal tumor is a rare finding. In this case reports, we present a 63-year-old woman, who was transferred to the emergency department with chief complains of persistent chest and back pain. An electrocardiogram revealed diffuse ST-segment depression (elevation in lead aVR). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a huge cystic mass above the left atrium. After the CT examination, she was temporarily in shock. Compression of the LMCA was evident on the CT angiography and a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction due to compression of the LMCA by a tumor was made. An emergent resection of the tumor was performed. Histopathological assessment of the resected cyst revealed that it was a schwannoma. She made an uneventful postoperative recovery. A follow-up 3-dimensional CT scan performed after the operation confirmed no evidence of LMCA compression.

Adrenal pheochromocytoma as a rare cause of reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction and malignant arrhythmias: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundPheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumour originating from the chromaffin cells of adrenal glands or sympathetic paraganglia. It produces most frequently norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine. As a result of non-specific and variable clinical presentation, pheochromocytoma is difficult to diagnose.Case summaryA 37-year-old female without medical history and 57-year-old male patient with diabetes, arterial hypertension, and aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis were admitted to the hospital after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to ventricular fibrillation. In both patients, coronary angiography demonstrated a normal finding, and echocardiography showed left ventricular (LV) contractile dysfunction with improvement in the subsequent examination. In the first patient, the diagnosis of stress-induced cardiomyopathy was considered as the most probable cause. She was later admitted to hospital due to acute pulmonary oedema with hypertensive crisis. Echocardiography documented reversible LV systolic dysfunction with improvement after 3 days. The course of hospitalization of the male was complicated by multi-organ dysfunction syndrome comprising renal failure, paralytic ileus, and pancreatic irritation, which normalized after 2 weeks. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed by laboratory tests and imaging methods. After pharmacological pre-treatment with doxazosin in both patients and bisoprolol in the female, successful adrenalectomies were performed with no relapse of tumour.DiscussionWe describe an atypical clinical presentation of pheochromocytoma with initial cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation and reversible LV systolic dysfunction. Our cases underline that clinical suspicion of pheochromocytoma as a potentially correctable cause should be raised in unexplained cases of severe heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery as a rare cause of mitral valve prolapse: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral valve prolapse (MVP) is an etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the underlying disease are of great significance. Herein, we present a rare case of MVP caused by anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA).Case presentationA 22-year-old female presented with a 16-year history of anterior mitral leaflet prolapse. However, she had never experienced any discomfort before. At a routine follow-up, a transthoracic echocardiogram showed anterior mitral leaflet prolapse (A2) with moderate mitral regurgitation, and a retrograde blood flow from an extremely dilated left coronary artery (LCA). Further coronary angiography and coronary computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis of ALCAPA. She subsequently underwent successful LCA reimplantation and concomitant mitral valve replacement. Intraoperatively, her mitral annulus was mildly dilated, anterior mitral valve leaflet appeared markedly thickened with rolled edges, and a chordae tendineae connecting the anterior leaflet (A2) was ruptured and markedly shortened.ConclusionsALCAPA is a rare and potentially life-threatening congenital coronary artery anomaly that may cause mitral valve prolapse. Echocardiogram is an important screening tool for this disorder.
