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

ABSTRACT: 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.).

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. (<b>Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.</b>). ...[more]

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).

Tricuspid valve straddling: An uncommon cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in transposition of great artery with ventricular septal defect.

Project description:Transposition of great arteries (TGA) can be associated with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. In the presence of ventricular septal defect (VSD), septal leaflet of tricuspid valve may prolapse through perimembranous VSD or rarely tricuspid valve tissue may override to produce LVOT obstruction. Occasionally, this may be mistaken for vegetation due to associated pulmonary valve endocarditis. We report a case of d-TGA with presumptive pulmonary valve endocarditis and LVOT obstruction that was found to be due to tricuspid valve straddling on transesophageal echocardiography, resulting in change in the surgical plan and thus avoiding catastrophe.

Female Fabry Patient With Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac involvement in Fabry disease is usually characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) without obstruction at rest.Case summaryA 59-year-old female patient with progressive chest tightness misdiagnosed as having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to LVH with obstruction was finally diagnosed with Fabry disease. Echocardiography showed LVH with severe obstruction, "binary sign," papillary muscle hypertrophy, and depressed longitudinal strain in the basal inferolateral region. The patient felt chest tightness worsened 1 year after receiving enzyme replacement therapy. Percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation was performed to relieve obstruction.DiscussionIt is rare for women with Fabry disease to present with severe symptoms, but it is possible. LVH with obstruction should not be a potential point of view to relax the vigilance of Fabry disease. Percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation may help to relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in Fabry disease.Take-home messagePaying attention to echocardiographic characteristics is helpful for the identification of Fabry disease.

Unstable angina complicated with dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Project description:Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) complicated with unstable angina (uAP) has not been described widely, but patients with these two conditions have several problems. Differentiation of the two conditions is also often difficult because the chest symptoms are similar. Moreover, nitrates are commonly used for ischemic heart disease, but have the effect of worsening LVOTO. We experienced three cases of dynamic LVOTO with a sigmoid-shaped septum, and without typical hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, that were complicated with uAP. In all cases, LVOTO was improved after initial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the left anterior descending artery lesion. Next, a dobutamine stress test was performed and LVOTO was provoked again in two cases, but not in a case with small acute myocardial infarction of the basal septum during PCI. All cases remained asymptomatic with beta-blocker therapy. Therefore, PCI and beta-blocker administration for LVOTO with uAP resulted in favorable clinical courses in all three cases. These outcomes suggest that revascularization including PCI should have priority in the therapeutic strategy for a case of acute coronary syndrome with LVOTO.

Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Exacerbated by Thoracic Kyphosis.

Project description:We present a 74-year-old woman with kyphosis and symptoms of pre/syncope. Heart catheterization revealed dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (DLVOTO) with Brockenbrough Braunwald response only when kyphotic posture was assumed. She had a positive response to metoprolol. DLVOTO is a challenging diagnosis in the absence of resting LVOTO. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Malignant Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Reason to Operate?

Project description:A 57-year-old man with high-grade synovial sarcoma was found to have cardiac involvement of his malignancy. Intracardiac tumor resulted in dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and severe mitral regurgitation. He underwent mitral valve replacement and had no cardiovascular symptoms at 1-year follow-up. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
