Juvenile rheumatic mitral stenosis in association with perimembranous ventricular septal defect in a 3-year-old boy.

ABSTRACT: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is a well-known entity in the developing world. Though rarely seem, MS can present at a very young age with severe symptoms. We describe here an unusual association of a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect with juvenile rheumatic MS leading to severe pulmonary hypertension and heart failure in a very young child.

Pericardial cyst in a one-year-old boy with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus.

Project description:BackgroundPericardial cysts are rare, with the most common etiology being congenital. Ventricular septal defect is the most common congenital heart disease in children. However, the combination of pericardial cyst, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus is extremely rare.Case presentationA one-year-old boy with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus was planned for surgical correction. Intraoperatively, we made an additional diagnosis of a large pericardial cyst; and the cyst was excised along with ventricular septal defect closure and patent ductus arteriosus ligation.ConclusionsPericardial cysts can sometimes be missed with transthoracic echocardiography. Excision of the cyst can safely be done during concomitant cardiac surgery.

Multivalvular Endocarditis With <i>Granulicatella adiacens</i> in a 2-Year-Old Boy With Ventricular Septal Defect.

Project description:A 2-year-old boy with a hemodynamically insignificant ventricular septal defect was found to have polyvalvular endocarditis, eventually requiring replacement of the pulmonary and mitral valves with a pulmonary conduit and a mechanical valve. Cultures grew Granulicatella adiacens, listed on the microbiological criterion of the updated Duke International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases criteria.

Left Ventricular Remodeling Following Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty in Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Project description:Background: Rheumatic heart disease affects primarily cardiac valves, it could involve the myocardium either primarily or secondary to heart valve affection. The influence of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) on left ventricular function has not been sufficiently studied. Aim: To determine the influence of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) on both global and regional left ventricular (LV) function. Methods: Thirty patients with isolated rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) were studied. All patients had cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) before, 6 months and 1 year after successful BMV. LV volumes, ejection fraction (EF), regional and global LV deformation, and LV late gadolinium enhancement were evaluated. Results: At baseline, patients had median EF of 57 (range: 45-69) %, LVEDVI of 74 (44-111) ml/m2 and LVESVI of 31 (14-57) ml/m2 with absence of late gadolinium enhancement in all myocardial segments. Six months following BMV, there was a significant increase in LV peak systolic global longitudinal strain (GLS) (-16.4 vs. -13.8, p < 0.001) and global circumferential strain (GCS) (-17.8 vs. -15.6, p = 0.002). At 1 year, there was a trend towards decrease in LVESVI (29 ml/m2, p = 0.079) with a significant increase in LV EF (62%, p < 0.001). A further significant increase, compared to 6 months follow up studies, was noticed in GLS (-17.9 vs. -16.4, p = 0.008) and GCS (-19.4 vs. -17.8 p = 0.03). Conclusions: Successful BMV is associated with improvement in global and regional LV systolic strain which continues for up to 1 year after the procedure.

Case Report: Ascending Aortic Pseudo-Aneurysm Following Ventricular Septal Defect Repair in a 4-Year-Old Girl.

Project description:Pseudo-aneurysm is a fatal disease, and the main cause of death is massive hemorrhage secondary to the rupture of the aneurysm. This case report aims to evaluate the effects of pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure on the disease. A 4-year-old girl was readmitted on the 20th day after ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure procedure with a high fever of 40°C; aortic pseudo-aneurysm was suspected based on a spherical cystic echo (82 × 76 mm) of the ascending aorta which was detected by ultrasonic cardiogram, and the diagnosis was confirmed by an aortic computed tomograph angiography (CTA) examination and intraoperative findings. Treatment included emergency pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure and antibiotic therapy. The aortic pseudo-aneurysm was surgically removed under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Antibiotics were applied according to the bacterial culture results. The pseudo-aneurysm was excised successfully, and the patient achieved a good recovery. Our case suggests that the postoperative ascending aortic pseudo-aneurysm was probably due to inappropriate purse-string suture and/or local or systematic infection, so extra precautions should be taken to avoid this life-threatening complication.
