ABSTRACT

Background: The treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis (SAS) who concomitantly present with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is not defined. Aortic valve replacement surgery, performed alone, increases the risk of AAA rupture. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in the same intervention, especially in high-risk patients, is a safe alternative. Purpose: We report a case of simultaneous endovascular treatment of SAS and AAA and a mini literature review of nineteen cases with similar characteristics. Research design: Case report and literature review. Data Collection: An electronic search of PubMed and Scopus was performed from inception to December 2023. Results: Nineteen case reports of simultaneous transcatheter aortic valve repair and endovascular aneurysm repair for SAS and symptomatic AAA were identified published in the literature. Conclusions: We regard the simultaneous endovascular approach to both pathologies as a promising treatment alternative for selected patients with severe aortic stenosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm. We highlight the need to conduct randomized clinical trials in this patient population.

ABSTRACT

We present the case of a patient with a history of single ventricle, tricuspid atresia, double outlet of the left ventricle and hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery ring. The patient was treated with Glenn's surgery at the age of 7 and at age 16, the patient received fenestrated extracardiac Fontan surgery. After 1 month of Fontan surgery she presented severe hemoptysis without adequate response to medical management. Percutaneous closure of aortopulmonary fistulas with coils was performed, with favorable evolution, without presenting recurrences of hemoptysis.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: This article summarizes the clinical practice guide (CPG) for the evaluation and management of patients with severe aortic stenosis in the Social Security of Peru (EsSalud). Objective: To provide clinical evidence-based recommendations for the evaluation and management of patients with severe aortic stenosis in the EsSalud. Methods: A local guideline development group (local GDG) was established, including medical specialists and methodologists. The local GDG formulated 7 clinical questions to be answered by this CPG. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and, when it was considered pertinent, primary studies, were conducted in PubMed during 2018. The evidence to answer each of the posed clinical questions was selected. The quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. In periodic work meetings, the local GDG used the GRADE methodology to review the evidence and formulate the recommendations, points of good clinical practice, and the flowchart of evaluation and management. Finally, the CPG was approved with Resolution N.° 47 - IETSI - ESSALUD - 2018. Results: This CPG addressed 7 clinical questions regarding two issues: the initial evaluation and the management of severe aortic stenosis. Based on these questions, 9 recommendations (1 strong recommendation and 8 weak recommendations), 16 points of good clinical practice, and 1 flowchart were formulated. Conclusion: This article summarizes the methodology and evidence-based conclusions from the CPG for the evaluation and management of patients with severe aortic stenosis in the EsSalud.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Conocer las características demográficas y clínicas, así como la prevalencia de muerte, reinfarto, revascularización del vaso culpable y falla cardiaca, tanto intrahospitalario como a los 12 meses de los pacientes a los que se les realizo PCI primaria. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se evaluaron 45 pacientes, entre el 1 de Enero de 2007 al 30 de Setiembre de 2008 con diagnóstico de Infarto de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IMSTE), a los que se le realizó PCI primaria. RESULTADOS: La mediana de edad fue de 68.1, la mayoría fueron varones (82.2%); el 90% pacientes presentaban por lo menos 1 factor de riesgo cardiovascular. El 48.89% de los pacientes fueron transferidos de otro establecimiento de salud, y en el 53% de los pacientes la arteria responsable del evento fue la descendente anterior. Se realizó PCI más implante de stent en el 95.6% de los casos, siendo exitoso angiográficamente en el 80%. La media del tiempo de isquemia fue de 399 minutos, siendo este tiempo mayor en los pacientes transferidos que en los no transferidos (524 y 279 respectivamente). La mortalidad intrahospitalaria fue del 11%, siendo mayor entre los pacientes con tiempo de isquemia mayor de 180 minutos y en los que la resolución del segmento ST fue menor del 70% a los 90, estos últimos presentaron, además, más falla cardiaca. En el presente registro se incluyeron también los pacientes con choque cardiogénico. CONCLUSIONES: Nuestra mortalidad, así como nuestros tiempos de actuación, fueron mayores que los registrados en diferentes series sudamericanas. La sobrevida se relacionó negativamente con la edad, Clasificación de Killip y Kimball, Grado de estenosis residual y con un tiempo de isquemia total prolongado. Un mayor tiempo de isquemia conllevó a una mayor mortalidad y falla cardiaca.


OBJECTIVES: Conduct a follow-up study, over a 12 months period, to obtain information about the clinical and demographic characteristics, increased prevalence and risk of death, reinfarction, revascularization of the ôguiltyõ vessel and heart failure of patients who had undergone primary PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 45 patients who had been diagnosed as having ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and had undergone primary PCI were evaluated during the period that started on January 1, 2007, and ended on September 30, 2008. RESULTS: The patients that participated in this study had an average age of 68.1 years, most of them were males (82.2%), 90% of them presented at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. 48.89% of the aforementioned patients had been transferred from another health care institution and 53% of them presented with clinical presentation of myocardial infarction due to occlusion of the anterior descending coronary artery. 95.6% of the aforementioned patients had undergone PCI with Stent implantation that was angiographically successful in 80% of the cases. The mean time of ischemia was 399 minutes and this indicator was higher (524 minutes) for those patients that had been referred and transferred in relation to those that had not been transferred (279 minutes). The nosocomial mortality was 11%, this index was higher in those patients with ischemic times longer than 180 minutes and partial ST-segment resolution (lower than 70%), the prevalence of heart failure was higher among patients with partial ST segment resolution. This registry study included patients presenting with cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSIONS: Our mortality rates and response times were higher than those ones recorded in other similar studies conducted in the South America region. Higher mortality rates were associated with a higher Killip-Kimball classification...

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Entre los pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IAMEST)tratados con intervención coronaria percutßnea primaria (PCI), aquellos con enfermedad multivaso tienen peor pronóstico mayormente debido a una alta frecuencia de shock cardiogénico (SC) en la admisión. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar características clínicas y angiogrßficas de pacientes con IAMSTE, enfermedad multivaso y SC en la admisión referidos para PCI primaria. Materiales y Métodos: Nosotros estudiamos 630 pacientes con IAMSTE tratados con PCI primaria en las primeras 12 horas de inicio de los síntomas. Enfermedad multivaso fue definida en 276 paciente (44 por ciento), quienes conforman nuestra población de estudio. Variables clínicas, angiogrßficas, y del procedimiento fueron comparadas entre aquellos pacientes con y sin SC. Un anßlisis de regresión logística fue realizado para identificar los predictores independientes de SC entre los pacientes con enfermedad multivaso. Resultados: Entre los pacientes con enfermedad multivaso, 45 (16 por ciento) presentó SC en la admisión. Los predictores independientes de SC en pacientes con enfermedad multivaso fueron IAMSTE anterior [odds ratio (OR) 2.05; 95 por ciento confidence interval (CI) 1.0 a 4.1; p=0.044], sexo femenino [OR 2.49; 95 por ciento CI 1.1 a 5.3; p=0.021], lesión culpable proximal [OR 3.8; 95 por ciento CI 1.7 a 8.5; p< 0.001] y oclusión crónica de una arteria coronaria no responsable del infarto [ OR 4.48; 95 por ciento CI 2.1 a 9.1; p< 0.001]. Conclusiones: Entre los pacientes con IAMSTE y enfermedad multivaso, el SC es especialmente frecuente en los pacientes con IAMSTE anterior, sexo femenino, lesión culpable proximal y oclusión crónica de una arteria no responsable del infarto.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The myocardial infarction (MI) with ST elevation and angiographically normal coronary arteries isn't frequent. The aim of this study is to describe clinical characteristic and mid-term follow-up of those patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Between January 1997 and December 2004 we identified 75 patients with MI and normal coronary arteries in a coronary angiography performed within one month of the AMI. All had criteria of MI and their coronary arteries were smooth and without obstructive lesions. RESULTS: The incidence was 3%, and mean age (standard deviation): 49 (11) years; 63% of patients were males and 47% were smokers, 33% had hypertension, 24% dislipemia and 9% diabetes. No patient had previous angina. MI location was anterior in 43%, inferior in 40% and lateral in 17%. The peak of creatine phosphokinase was 700 U/dl (range: 431-1,115) and the ejection fraction was 65% (14%). After a medium follow up of 30 months (range: 12-84) the events were: one death and 2 new MI. CONCLUSIONS: MI with normal coronary arteries is rare, is associated with a relative low rate of coronary risk factors, and with a good initial outcome, low rate of recurrent events and preservation of left ventricular function.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento y objetivo: El infarto de miocardio (IM) con elevación del segmento ST y arterias coronarias angiográficamente normales es poco frecuente. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido describir las características clínicas y evolución en nuestro medio. Pacientes y método: Entre 1997 y 2004 identificamos a 75 pacientes con IM con elevación del ST y coronariografía normal (coronarias lisas y sin lesiones obstructivas) en el primer mes del IM. Resultados: La incidencia fue del 3%, con una edad media (desviación estándar) de 49 (11) años. Un 63% eran varones y un 47% fumadores; el 33% presentaba hipertensión, el 24% dislipemia y el 9% diabetes; ninguno refería cardiopatía isquémica previa. La localización del IM fue anterior en el 43% de los casos, inferior en el 40% y lateral en el 17%. La media del pico de creatincinasa fue de 700 U/dl (extremos: 431-1.115) y la fracción de eyección media del 65% (14%). La media de seguimiento fue de 30 meses (extremos: 12-84). La fracción de eyección no se deterioró en este período. Los eventos fueron una muerte y 2 nuevos IM. Conclusiones: El IM con arterias coronarias normales es poco frecuente, se asocia a relativamente pocos factores de riesgo y tiene buen pronóstico inicial, con una tasa de eventos baja y preservación de la función ventricular

ABSTRACT

Comunicamos un caso de mixoma biauricular, en una paciente de 16 años, quien presentaba disnea de esfuerzo. El ecocardiograma transesofágico mostró una gran masa móvil, biauricular. La resección quirúrgica y el examen histopatológico identificaron la tumoración como un mixoma biauricular. La evolución postoperatoria y recuperación de la paciente fueron satisfactorias.


We report a case of biatrial mixoma in a 16 year-old patient who complained of exertional dyspnea. Transesophageal echocardiogram showed a large biatrial, mobile mass. Surgical resection and subsequent histopathologic examination identified a biatrial myxoma. PatientÆs postoperative evolution and recovery was satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), those with multivessel disease have worse prognosis, mainly due to a higher frequency of cardiogenic shock (CS) at admission. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients with STEMI, multivessel disease and CS at admission referred to primary PCI. METHODS: We studied 630 patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI within 12 h after symptoms onset. Multivessel disease was defined as the presence of >or=50% stenosis in >or=2 major epicardial arteries. Multivessel disease was documented in 276 patients (44%), these patients comprising the study population. Clinical, angiographic and procedural variables were compared between those with and without CS. A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent predictors of CS among patients with multivessel disease. RESULTS: Among patients with multivessel disease, 45 (16%) had CS at admission. The independent predictors of CS in patients with multivessel disease were: STEMI anterior [OR 2.05; 95% CI 1.0 to 4.1; p=0.044], female gender [odds ratio (OR) 2.49; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.1 to 5.3; p=0.021], proximal culprit lesion [OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.7 to 8.5; p<0.001], and chronic occlusion of other coronary arteries [OR 4.48; 95% CI 2.1 to 9.1; p<0.001]. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, CS is especially frequent in STEMI anterior, female gender, proximal culprit lesion, and chronic occlusion of other vessels.

ABSTRACT

The presence of an anomalous origin of a coronary artery as the infarct related vessel during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is rare and may present a technical challenge. We reported on a primary coronary percutaneous intervention performed in a right coronary artery originating from the left coronary sinus. The technical tips and tricks of treating congenital coronary anomalies are reviewed.
