We report the unique case of a 2-year-old male with severe heart failure requiring mechanical circulatory support with a left ventricular assist device, who developed adenovirus pneumonitis infection requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. He progressed to acute respiratory failure and refractory hypoxemia despite intubation with maximum respiratory support. The patient was placed on ECMO with improvement in lung function over four days with subsequent successful decannulation. During the ECMO run, anticoagulation required escalation given the increased circuit surface area. Patient has since recovered and undergone heart transplantation.

Percutaneous Coronary

Anastomotic occlusion of an interposed coronary artery graft after a Bentall procedure is rare and catastrophic. It can lead to myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. We found several reports of occlusion and stenosis of a coronary-graft anastomosis, but few describe occlusion of the interposed coronary graft itself, as evaluated with use of intracoronary ultrasonography and computed tomography. We report the case of a 17-year-old boy with Takayasu arteritis who had a myocardial infarction caused by severe ostial stenosis in an interposed left coronary graft. The graft occlusion was confirmed by results of electrocardiography, aortography, and intracoronary ultrasonography. The patient was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, stenting of the interposed graft, and thrombectomy, but he died of left ventricular dysfunction caused by extensive myocardial infarction. Extrinsic compression may have caused the graft occlusion. When considering emergency percutaneous coronary intervention to interposed coronary artery grafts, operators need to identify the cause of occlusion and decide on the best approach for each patient. Stenting the graft may provide temporary relief. During a hemodynamic crisis, immediately reperfusing the graft is crucial.

Cardiotropic Viruses

We describe a unique case of fulminant myocarditis in a patient with presumed SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. Patient had initial infection 4 months backand had COVID-19 antibody at the time of presentation. Endomyocardial biopsy showed lymphocytic myocarditis, that is usually seen in viral myocarditis. The molecular diagnostic testing of the endomyocardial biopsy for cardiotropic viruses was positive for Parvovirus and negative for SARS-CoV-2. Authors highly suspect co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and Parvovirus, that possibly triggered the immune cascade resulting in fulminant myocarditis. Patient was hemodynamically unstable with ventricular tachycardia and was supported on VA ECMO and Impella CP. There was impressive recovery of left ventricular function within 48 hours, leading to decannulation of VA ECMO in 72 h. This unique case was written by the survivor herself.

Abstract Neuroendocrine tumours are rare neoplasms typically arising in the gastrointestinal tract that may result in carcinoid syndrome and/or acquired valvular dysfunction. Herein, we present a unique case of a 68-year-old asymptomatic woman with a primary left ventricular neuroendocrine tumour.
