Giant Left Ventricular (Pseudo?) Aneurysm Complicating Anterior Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis of true aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms is challenging, and multimodality cardiac imaging is often necessary. We report a case in which the limitations of these techniques are exposed, showing that post-operative evaluation of tissue layers remains the gold standard in establishing this diagnosis. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating inferior myocardial infarction: a case report.

Project description:Acquired pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a very rare disorder and mostly occurs after large transmural myocardial infarction (MI) with peak creatine phosphokinase-MB levels greater than 150 IU/mL. Patients developing left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm usually present with angina or heart failure symptoms. Although different imaging modalities exist, coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice for LV pseudoaneurysms detected in the first months after MI. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a relatively small inferior MI due to right coronary artery occlusion and complicated by LV pseudoaneurysm.

Sex disparities in in-hospital outcomes of left ventricular aneurysm complicating acute myocardial infarction: A United States nationwide analysis.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have reported sex-specific differences in the presentation, mechanisms, and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We assessed differences between women and men in the incidence and in-hospital outcomes of left ventricular (LV) aneurysm complicating AMI.MethodsHospitalizations for AMI with LV aneurysm were identified retrospectively in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2001 to 2017. Incidence and trends in in-hospital mortality, complications, length of stay and costs were analyzed in women and men.ResultsA total of 16,334 AMI hospitalizations with concomitant LV aneurysm were identified including 6994 (42.8%) women and 9340 (57.2%) men. Among these hospitalizations, women had a higher incidence of LV aneurysm compared to men (0.16% vs. 0.14%; p < 0.001). Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was higher in women than men (12.7% vs. 7.2%; p < 0.001). After adjusting for demographic and baseline characteristics and excluding inter-hospital transfers, women with AMI complicated by LV aneurysm had 49% greater odds of in-hospital mortality than men (OR 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.06-2.10, p = 0.02). Women with LV aneurysm were less likely than men to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (28.5% vs. 35.4%; p < 0.001), bypass surgery (15.8% vs. 25.1%; p < 0.001), coronary atherectomy (0.8% vs. 1.9%; p = 0.009) and LV aneurysm surgery (7.8% vs. 11.1%; p = 0.001).ConclusionsIn this large population-based cohort study, women had a slightly higher incidence but dramatically higher in-hospital mortality associated with LV aneurysm complicating AMI compared to men. Further research is necessary to validate strategies to ensure that women receive guideline-directed therapy for AMI and LV aneurysm to address the sex disparity in mortality.

Post-myocardial infarction left ventricular septal dissecting aneurysm: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPost-infarction perforation of the ventricular septum is recognized as a major complication of post-myocardial infarction. However, post-infarction ventricle dissection is seldom reported, as the ventricular shunt often accompanying this condition is a significant cause of cardiogenic shock. We encountered a rare case of ventricular dissection unaccompanied by a shunt, which caused a state of shock.Case presentationA 67-year-old man was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction with a left ventricular oozing rupture. The occlusion of the left anterior descending artery was aspirated, followed by drainage of the pericardial bleeding and hemostasis of the left ventricle. After 15 h, he presented with sudden cardiogenic shock requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. The transesophageal echocardiogram showed a left ventricular septal aneurysm. Five days later, he underwent an operation, in which a ventricular septal wall dissection with a tear-forming large pseudoaneurysm was found. The tear was closed with a patch. He was weaned off extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation the next day. Αfter 4 months, he was discharged in a stable condition.ConclusionsRecognizing and identifying the cause of cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction is crucial to provide the best treatment and surgical approach. Ventricular septal dissection should be considered, in addition to the usual complications, such as possible papillary muscle rupture, cardiac rupture, and perforation of the interventricular septum.

Ventricular Septal Dissection Complicating Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:Postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is an increasingly rare mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. We present a case of acute myocardial infarction from right coronary artery occlusion that developed hypotension and systolic murmur 12 hours after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Although preoperative imaging suggested a large ventricular septal defect and a pseudoaneurysm, intraoperative findings concluded a serpiginous dissection of the ventricular septum. The imaging technicalities are discussed.
