Multivessel Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection With Coronary Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia.

ABSTRACT: A 53-year-old woman underwent a cardiac catheterization for evaluation of acute coronary syndrome. The coronary angiogram revealed evidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in multiple coronary arteries including the left anterior descending artery, posterior descending artery, and posterior left ventricular artery. Further diagnostic imaging revealed associated bilateral vertebral artery and renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Follow-up coronary angiogram 6 weeks later revealed a "string of beads" appearance of the posterior descending artery. This case highlights the importance of extra-coronary imaging for FMD and demonstrates angiogram findings suggestive of coronary FMD.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, fibromuscular dysplasia, and biventricular stress cardiomyopathy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of acute coronary syndrome and is associated with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). The diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy in patients with SCAD and FMD is uncommon, though an important consideration given the shared risk profile. Complications of severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction associated with stress cardiomyopathy, such as LV thrombus, complicate the management of SCAD where anticoagulation is controversial in the context of SCAD-associated intramural haematoma.Case summaryA 65-year-old female presented with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with a recent diagnosis of hypertension but no other traditional cardiovascular risk factors. There was, however, a family history of early cardiac death from myocardial infarction affecting her mother. Echocardiography demonstrated severe biventricular dysfunction with circumferential akinesis of the mid to apical segments. Coronary angiography demonstrated type 2A SCAD involving the first diagonal artery. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy with biventricular involvement, complicated by LV apical thrombus and a focal region of myocardial infarction. Vascular imaging confirmed the presence of FMD. Guideline-directed heart failure therapy in addition to clopidogrel and rivaroxaban was prescribed. Follow-up contrast echocardiography at six-weeks confirmed resolution of LV dysfunction and resolution of the LV thrombus with no adverse events.DiscussionThe dual diagnosis of SCAD and stress cardiomyopathy is uncommon. Cardiac MRI was useful for confirming the diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy and the presence of LV thrombus, where anticoagulation may complicate the management of intramural haematoma in patients with concomitant SCAD and FMD.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Fibromuscular Dysplasia: Vasculopathies With a Predilection for Women.

Project description:The burden of cardiovascular disease in women is being increasingly appreciated. Nevertheless, both clinicians and the general public are largely unaware that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide in women in all countries and that outcomes after a heart attack are worse for women than men. Of note, certain types of cardiovascular disease have a predilection for women, including spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Although uncommon, SCAD is being increasingly recognised as the cause of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and can recur. It is a potentially fatal, under-diagnosed condition that affects relatively young women, who often have few traditional risk factors, and is the commonest cause of a myocardial infarction associated with pregnancy. In contrast, FMD often remains silent but when manifested can also cause major sequelae, including renal infarction, stroke, cervical artery dissection and gut infarction. Here we provide an update on the diagnosis, aetiology and management of these important disorders that overwhelmingly affect women.

Acute aortic dissection and stroke in multivessel fibromuscular dysplasia.

Project description:Fibromuscular dysplasia is a rare, nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease that typically affects women between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Although any artery can be affected, fibromuscular dysplasia most commonly affects the renal and carotid arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries usually presents with hypertension, while carotid or vertebral artery disease causes transient ischemic attacks, strokes, or dissection. Fibromuscular dysplasia of the brachial arteries is extremely uncommon. It can induce extremity ischemia, nerve compression, or both-causing coldness, discoloration, pain, ulceration or gangrene of the fingers, paresthesias, or paralysis. We report a rare case of multivessel fibromuscular dysplasia manifested by acute stroke in association with type I aortic dissection, which progressed rapidly to ascending aortic false aneurysmal development that necessitated arch replacement. Outcomes of aortic arch replacement in this setting are currently unknown. Therefore, our case might well offer some insight.

Multivessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection involving the left main coronary artery: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an infrequent and often misdiagnosis of a non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It is an important cause of ACS in young women, responsible for up to 25% of all cases in women <50 years of age without cardiovascular risk factors. Clinical presentation ranges from ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. The treatment of patients with SCAD is a challenge and the ideal management strategy has yet to be determined.Case summaryA 42-year-old woman without family history of cardiac disease and neither traditional atherosclerotic risk factors presented to our centre with an anterior acute ST-segment-elevation MI secondary to multiple spontaneous dissections of the left main, anterior descending, and ramus intermedius coronary arteries. Stenting was performed in the left anterior descending coronary artery and left main coronary artery to resolve its occlusion. Fibromuscular dysplasia was confirmed via computed tomography angiography.DiscussionMore cases are now being identified of SCAD due to increased clinical index of suspicion, earlier use of invasive angiography, and intracoronary imaging in patients presenting with acute chest pain. Despite this, the absence of previous cardiovascular risk factors and the ignorance of this pathology delay the start of an adequate medical treatment and the performance of a cardiac catheterization. Prognostic data are limited, partly because of its underdiagnosis and lack of prospective studies, so its knowledge is necessary to improve the prognosis of these patients.

Coronary artery manifestations of fibromuscular dysplasia.

Project description:Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) involving the coronary arteries is an uncommon but important condition that can present as acute coronary syndrome, left ventricular dysfunction, or potentially sudden cardiac death. Although the classic angiographic "string of beads" that may be observed in renal artery FMD does not occur in coronary arteries, potential manifestations include spontaneous coronary artery dissection, distal tapering or long, smooth narrowing that may represent dissection, intramural hematoma, spasm, or tortuosity. Importantly, FMD must be identified in at least one other noncoronary arterial territory to attribute any coronary findings to FMD. Although there is limited evidence to guide treatment, many lesions heal spontaneously; thus, a conservative approach is generally preferred. The etiology is poorly understood, but there are ongoing efforts to better characterize FMD and define its genetic and molecular basis. This report reviews the clinical course of FMD involving the coronary arteries and provides guidance for diagnosis and treatment strategies.

National French registry of spontaneous coronary artery dissections: prevalence of fibromuscular dysplasia and genetic analyses.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly reported but poorly understood condition. Few European data are available.AimsThe aims of this study were to obtain European data on SCAD, determine the prevalence of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and enable genetic analyses in this population.MethodsData from a national French registry of SCAD cases were analysed prospectively and retrospectively. Clinical and angiographic data and management strategy were collected. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were analysed after one year of follow-up. Subjects were screened for FMD and blood was collected for DNA extraction.ResultsFrom June 2016 to August 2018, 373 SCAD cases were confirmed by the core lab. Mean age was 51.5 years. Patients were mostly women (90.6%) and 54.7% of cases had less than two cardiovascular risk factors. At one year, 295 patients (79.1%) were treated conservatively, the MACE rate was 12.3%, and there were no cases of mortality. The recurrence rate of SCAD was 3.3%. FMD was found at ≥1 arterial site in 45.0% of cases. We also confirmed the genetic association between the PHACTR1 locus and SCAD (odds ratio=1.66, p=7.08×10-8).ConclusionsHere we describe the DISCO registry, the largest European SCAD cohort where FMD was found in 45% of cases and the genetic association with PHACTR1 was confirmed. This nationwide cohort is a valuable resource for future clinical and genetic investigation to understand SCAD aetiology.

Male Sex Is Associated With Cervical Artery Dissection in Patients With Fibromuscular Dysplasia.

Project description:Background Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is a frequent manifestation of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). However, risk factors for CeAD are unknown. We investigated factors associated with CeAD in the ARCADIA (Assessment of Renal and Cervical Artery Dysplasia) registry. Methods and Results The ARCADIA registry includes women or men aged ≥18 years, with a diagnosis of renal, cervical, or intracranial artery FMD, who were prospectively recruited at 16 university hospitals in France and Belgium. Diagnosis of acute or past CeAD at inclusion was established on imaging according to standard diagnostic criteria. Associations between potential determinants and CeAD were assessed by logistic regression analyses. Among 469 patients (75 men) with FMD, 65 (13.9%) had CeAD. Patients with CeAD were younger, more likely to be men, have a history of migraine, and less likely to have a history of hypertension than patients without CeAD. In the multivariable analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR], 2.66; 95% CI, 1.34-5.25), history of migraine (OR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.06-3.39), age ≥50 years (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.23-0.73), history of hypertension (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.20-0.64), and involvement of ≥3 vascular beds (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.15-5.40) were significantly associated with CeAD. To validate the association between CeAD and sex, we performed a systematic review. We collected additional data on sex from 2 published studies and unpublished data from the US Registry for Fibromuscular Dysplasia and the European/International FMD Registry. In the pooled analysis (289 CeAD, 1933 patients), male sex was significantly associated with CeAD (OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.41-2.95; I2=0%). Conclusions In patients with FMD, male sex and multisite involvement are associated with CeAD, in addition to other previously known risk factors.
