Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy

Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare condition in which embolization of tumor cells to the pulmonary arterioles causes fibrocellular intimal thickening and activation of the coagulation cascade resulting in pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. Herein, we highlight a young 35-year-old male with no known past medical history who presented with recurrent syncope and dyspnea, and was found to have severe right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. He developed sudden clinical deterioration and died after a cardiac arrest. Autopsy revealed poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma and pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy. New onset severe pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure without any other obvious etiology should encourage the reader to evaluate for pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy and undergo a diligent search for underlying malignancy. This case highlights recurrent syncope as a rare presentation of this rapidly fatal disease.

Congenital Rubella

Persistent pulmonary hypertension is a very rare presentation of congenital virus infection. We discuss the case of complete congenital rubella syndrome presenting at echocardiography with pulmonary hypertension that worsened after ductus ligation. Cardiac catheterization showed a normal pulmonary valve and vascular tree but aPAP=40 mmHg. The infant promptly responded to inhaled nitric oxide while on mechanical ventilation and was later shifted to oral sildenafil. It is not clear whether our observation may be due to direct viral damage to the endothelium or to the rubella virus increasing the vascular tone via a metabolic derangement.
