AbstractIn this study, we summarise a case of a myofibroma causing mid-aortic syndrome due to obstruction of the distal thoracic and abdominal aorta leading to severe left ventricular dysfunction. The patient was managed with percutaneous intervention via balloon dilation and stent placement. On follow-up, the patient has normalisation of ventricular function, is off anti-hypertensives, and is being monitored for re-stenosis.

Membrane Oxygenation

A massive left ventricular thrombosis represents a rare however, catastrophic complication of a central veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. We report a case of such complication in a patient with severe left ventricular dysfunction after cardiac surgery. Its management and preventive measures are described and discussed.
