An Unusual Case of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition with a wide range of causes and various clinical outcomes. The causes range from infections, trauma to the chest wall, and iatrogenic origins. We present a unique case of idiopathic LVOT pseudoaneurysm in a patient with no obvious clinical risk factors. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

An unusual cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has been reported with bio-prosthetic and mechanical mitral valves (MV), though it is more common with the former. The obstruction can be dynamic or fixed. We hereby report a case of fixed LVOTO following bio-prosthetic MV replacement (MVR).

Resolution of thrombus in left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm mimicking periaortic abscess.

Project description:Prosthetic valve complications are not uncommon after valve replacement. In this paper we report a female patient who presented with aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis and echocardiographic appearance of periaortic abscess. After 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy, echocardiographic examination revealed resolution of abscess cavity and replacement with a clear blood-filled anechoic sac. Diagnosis was made by cardiac computed tomography, which showed a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm rather than an abscess, located just below the sewing ring of the prosthetic aortic valve. We assumed that either resolution of thrombus in LVOT pseudoaneurysm following effective warfarin therapy or clearance of infective content in pseudoaneurysm after co-administered antibiotics gave rise to change in echocardiographic characteristics in the perivalvular area.

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pseudoaneurysm Formation Following Three Aortic Valve Replacement Surgeries.

Project description:We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left ventricular outflow tract/aortic root as a complication of aortic valve surgery. A 45-year-old Nigerian female presented to our institution's emergency department with chest discomfort. She had three bioprosthetic aortic valve replacements in the preceding year at an outside institution for aortic regurgitation and wanted a second opinion on remaining surgical options. The learning points relevant to this case are as follows: (1) Recognizing potential complications postmultiple valve surgeries, (2) screening patients for chronic infections and rheumatologic conditions that can contribute to failed valve surgeries.

Loculated Pericardial Effusion: An Uncommon Cause of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

Project description:A patient with a previous lung transplant and aortic valve replacement had progressive dyspnea. He presented with subacute tamponade secondary to a loculated pericardial effusion that caused impaired left ventricular filling and outflow tract obstruction secondary to distortion of the mitral valve apparatus. We demonstrate the imaging features of this presentation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
