Postsurgical Left Atrial Compression due to Hemopericardium Resulting in Liver Failure: A Rare Cause of Cardiac Tamponade

ABSTRACT: Graphical abstract Highlights • Postoperative pericardial effusion may cause left-sided chamber compression.• Focal left-sided cardiac tamponade may present with atypical clinical or echo findings.• Focal tamponade can result in acute liver failure post–cardiac surgery.

Delayed Tamponade after Traumatic Wound with Left Ventricular Compression.

Project description:Delayed cardiac tamponade after a penetrating chest injury is a rare complication. The clinical diagnosis of tamponade is facilitated with imaging. We present a case report of a 23-year-old male who was brought to emergency after multiple stab wounds to the chest. After resuscitation and repair of laceration of right internal mammary artery and right ventricle, he was discharged but later returned with shortness of breath. Echocardiography revealed a rare case of delayed pericardial tamponade causing left ventricular collapse. The pericardial effusion was treated with emergent pericardiocentesis and later required a thoracoscopy guided pericardial window for definitive management.

A rare cause of esophageal stenosis: Compression due to a thoracic osteophyte

Project description:Abstract Several cases of esophageal stenosis caused by cervical vertebral osteophytes have been reported; however, few reports of esophageal stenosis caused by thoracic osteophytes are available. We describe the case of an 86‐year‐old man with esophageal stenosis caused by a thoracic osteophyte near the tracheal bifurcation. An endoscopic ultrasonography examination was scheduled to determine the cause of acute pancreatitis; however, lacerations observed at the bifurcation following endoscope removal during prior esophagogastroduodenoscopy led us to cancel the ultrasonography to avoid potential esophageal perforation. A review of the present case and six similar previous cases of thoracic osteophyte‐associated esophageal stenosis (identified via a systematic search of the PubMed database) demonstrated the clinical importance of a thoracic osteophyte near physiological esophageal stenosis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and computed tomography should be performed to screen for vertebral osteophytes before endoscopic ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and transesophageal echocardiography to avoid iatrogenic accidents.

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.
