Inadvertently Swallowed Needle Pierced the Pulmonary Artery in an Adult.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal foreign body (FB) is usually seen in children, prisoners, or patients with psychiatric disorders, most of which can be removed with endoscope.

Case presentation

We herein report a mentally normal adult inadvertently swallowing a needle, which pierced through the esophagus into the adventitia of pulmonary artery. Computed tomography angiography confirmed its specific location, and urgently, surgical removal was performed after the endoscopic attempt. The patient recovered well and was discharged without any complication of the esophageal perforation.

Conclusion

Surgical treatment should be carried out aggressively if the esophageal FB is out of reach for endoscopic removal or if complications cannot be resolved endoscopically.

Percutaneous Removal of a Pulmonary Artery Catheter Inadvertently Sutured to the Heart During Valve Surgery.

Project description:A 74-year old woman underwent "mini-mitral" valve surgery via a right thoracotomy. The pulmonary artery catheter could not be removed thereafter and was found to be pierced by the atriotomy suture. Removal was performed by percutaneously lacerating the catheter above and below the suture, leaving behind a small segment. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of pulmonary artery tumors: A systematic review (with video).

Project description:Convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) was originally introduced as a diagnostic and staging tool for lung cancer and subsequently utilized for diagnosis of other malignant and benign mediastinal diseases such as melanoma, lymphoma, and sarcoidosis. More recently, CP-EBUS has been successfully used for the visualization and diagnosis of pulmonary emboli and other vascular lesions including primary and metastatic pulmonary artery (PA) tumors. In this review, we will underline the role of EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the diagnosis of pulmonary arterial tumors such as sarcomas and tumor emboli. We will concisely discuss the clinical applications of EBUS-TBNA and the types of pulmonary arterial tumors and their different diagnostic modalities. We searched the Cochrane Library and PubMed from 2004 to 2014 to provide the most comprehensive review. Only 10 cases of EBUS-TBNA for intravascular lesions were identified in the literature. Although many cases of EBUS and EUS-guided transvascular tumor biopsies were described in the literature, there were no reported cases of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for intravascular tumor biopsies. Except for one paper, all cases were published as case reports.

Unilateral pulmonary artery atresia in an adult: A case report.

Project description:IntroUnilateral pulmonary artery atresia (UPAA), while encountered frequently in the congenital cardiac anomaly cohort, is occasionally diagnosed in adulthood after typical symptoms of hemoptysis, pulmonary infection, or as an incidental finding on contrast CT scan. Due to its rarity, a brief discussion of UPAA and its treatment is warranted.Case reportA 35 year old male presented with three days of hemoptysis. After diagnosis of right UPAA, he underwent angioembolization of 6 large systemic collaterals supplying his right lung, followed by right pneumonectomy. He was discharged on post-operative day 3, and at follow up 6 weeks later was doing well with minimal residual incisional pain and excellent pulmonary reserve.ConclusionsUPAA presents classically with hemoptysis, but also with pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, or incidentally. Management includes selective collateral embolization, pneumonectomy, or medical management directed towards decreasing pulmonary hypertension in patients unable to tolerate pneumonectomy due to comorbidities. Pneumonectomy in these patients is characterized by dense and hypervascular adhesions, with large volume blood loss expected during adhesiolysis, which can be decreased with pre-operative embolization. Outcomes are typically excellent in otherwise healthy patients.

Long-term follow-up of an adult with left pulmonary artery stenting and absent right pulmonary artery: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundUnilateral absence of pulmonary artery is a rare congenital abnormality with varied clinical presentations. We present a unique case of congenital absence of right pulmonary artery (RPA) with left pulmonary artery (LPA) origin stenosis without any intracardiac or extracardiac lesion and its long-term follow-up.Case summaryA 68-year-old woman underwent successful LPA stenting 23 years back for absent RPA and LPA origin stenosis. She was recently evaluated for breathlessness, almost two decades after the procedure. On evaluation, she was found to have severe pulmonary hypertension (Group 5) without any distortion of the LPA and with normally functioning stent.DiscussionThis report discusses the long-term outcome of stenting in the setting of severe stenosis of a single pulmonary artery. Over the years, the patient went on to develop severe segmental pulmonary hypertension (Group 5).

Misdiagnosis of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery as coronary cameral fistulae in an adult.

Project description: Not available

Case report: A rare case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery accompanied with unilateral absence of pulmonary artery in an adult patient.

Project description:Both the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) and unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) are rare congenital malformations, ALCAPA accompanied with UAPA is extremely rare. Here, we reported a middle-aged man admitted to our department for evaluation of chest pain during exercise. Physical examination and lab tests did not unveil obvious abnormality; however, transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed multivessel myocardial collateral blood flow signals in the left ventricular wall and ventricular septum, a shunting flow from the left coronary artery into the pulmonary artery and dilated right coronary artery (RCA), which supported but did not confirm the diagnosis of ALCAPA. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed an absent left coronary ostium and a dilated RCA, with extensive collaterals supplying the left coronary system. Multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) was then performed and revealed the anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) arising from the pulmonary artery, and it incidentally unveiled another rare congenital malformation of UAPA. The patient underwent surgical correction of ALCAPA by reimplantation of the LMCA to the aorta, without surgical treatment of UAPA. The patient had been in good clinical condition and remained angina free with good exercise tolerance during follow-up (∼6 months so far). In this case, we discussed the diagnostic value of TTE, CAG, and MDCTA on rare abnormalities as ALCAPA and UAPA. We highlighted the role of multiple non-invasive imaging modalities in diagnosing rare causes of angina in adult patients, and the importance of careful examination in avoiding misdiagnosis. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of ALCAPA accompanied with UAPA in an adult patient.
