The clinical case of simultaneous endovascular bloodstream exclusion of arteriovenous malformation and saccular aneurysm in parturient woman is presented. Onyx liquid adhesive composition and monospiral aneurysm occlusion technique were used. Patient X., 31, was hospitalized to the clinic on the 10th day of the postpartum period. From the anamnesis: twice (at 20th and 27th weeks of pregnancy) patient suffered intraventricular hemorrhage due to the rupture of arteriovenous malformation in the posterior third of the corpus callosum, left lateral ventricle and left parietal lobe of the brain. After the first hemorrhage a conservative treatment tactic was determined, given the high risk of complications associated with the surgical intervention for the mother and fetus. After the second hemorrhage endovascular embolization of malformation was suggested, however, the patient and her husband refused surgery, preferring conservative therapy with subsequent surgical treatment after delivery. In addition to the malformation, according to the data of selective cerebral subtraction angiography multiple cerebral saccular aneurysms of the left Anterior Cerebral – Anterior Communicating Artery and 2 Anterior Cerebral Artery aneurysms (A2-A2, A3-A4-segments) on the right side were diagnosed. Endovascular subtotal embolization of arteriovenous malformation and occlusion of the right Anterior Cerebral Artery (A2-A3-segment) saccular aneurysm were performed during the operation. A control angiographic examination after 3 months showed a complete exclusion of these arteriovenous malformation and saccular aneurysm and disappearance of all aneurysms of the left Anterior Cerebral Artery – Anterior Communicating Artery and right Anterior Cerebral Artery (A3-A4-segment).

Volume Decrease

A 58-year-old female patient presented to the hospital with hearing loss. In the chest radiography obtained before her ear surgery, volume decrease in the right hemithorax, elevation of the right diaphragm, and increase of ventilation in the right lung were detected. At the thorax CT-CT angiography, hypoplasia of the main pulmonary artery and its branches and arteriovenous malformation localized in the middle lobe of the right lung were detected. Thus, diagnosis of Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome associated with right lung middle lobe hypoplasia and arteriovenous malformation was made. This kind of association has not been reported earlier, so we are presenting it in the light of the literature knowledge.

Apart from closure of atrial septal defects, there is little information concerning the use of the CardioSEAL family of occluders in congenitally malformed hearts. We review here our initial experience using the CardioSEAL and STARFlex occluders in 12 patients aged 17.3 ± 11.2 years, with a range from 4 to 34 years. Of the patients, 5 had fenestrated extracardiac Fontan procedures, 5 had persistent patency of the arterial duct, 1 had a leak across a Mustard baffle, and the final patient had a huge pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. We implanted successfully 9 CardioSEAL, and 3 STARFlex occluders, with sizes from 17 to 40 mm. In one patient, the occluder embolized to the right pulmonary artery, from where it was retrieved through the catheter. In two patients, there was a trivial residual leak immediately after implantation, but no patient had a residual leak after 6 months of follow-up. We noted improved ventricular dimensions, without any fractures of the arms of the occluders, perforations, or disturbances of flow after 2.4 ± 0.9 years of follow-up. We have demonstrated, therefore, the versatility of the CardioSEAL and STARFlex occluders, which have been used safely and effectively to close a variety of intra and extracardiac communications other than atrial septal defects.

Abstract Background As pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) include a right-to-left shunt, it can be accompanied by fatal complications such as stroke and brain abscess due to paradoxical embolism. A concurrent PAVM and pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rare condition. Therefore, the sequence of management has not been established. Case presentation A 62-year-old female patient was transferred to our hospital with a sporadic simple PAVM and concurrent bilateral PE. On chest computed tomography (CT), the acute PE was extended to the segmental pulmonary artery where the feeding artery of PAVM originated. Despite the anticoagulation, the patient complained of left sided weakness on the fifth day of admission, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an acute infarction in the right lateral thalamus, which was thought to be caused by paradoxical embolism. This situation could lead to a dilemma between the risk of thrombus migration during PAVM embolization and another embolic event due to delayed shunt occlusion during anticoagulation. After a multidisciplinary discussion, a delayed endovascular embolization was performed for PAVM after confirming the complete resolution of PE with 4 months of anticoagulation. The cause of PE in this patient was eventually diagnosed as antiphospholipid syndrome. Conclusion The authors reported a rare case of concurrent PAVM and PE that led to an embolic stroke during hospitalization. This patient was managed with delayed endovascular embolization for PAVM after an anticoagulation for PE and stroke. It is thought to be valuable in deciding for a treatment plan for this rare condition.

The frequency of coronary artery fistula among all coronary angiography patients is 0.1% to 0.2%; however, involvement of both the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle is a rare clinical entity. A 53-year-old man patient was admitted to our clinic with rarely occurring chest pain, palpitations, and dyspnea. A coronary angiogram showed a fistula between the left main coronary artery and both the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. We performed a ligation of this fistula without cardiopulmonary bypass. Aorta and right ventricle sutures were made, and the proximal and distal portions of the fistula were obliterated with 5-0 Prolene sutures and previously prepared Teflon felt. The patient recovered and was discharged without any complications. The surgical indications for coronary artery fistulas are symptomatic disease, an aneurysmic coronary artery, signs of heart failure, and ischemia. The surgical options in such cases�depending on whether the fistula is complicated or not�are simple ligation or transarterial ligation under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) resulting in cardiogenic shock continues to be a substantial source of morbidity and mortality despite advances in recognition and treatment. Prior to the advent of percutaneous and more durable left ventricular support devices, prompt revascularization with the addition of vasopressors and inotropes were the standard of care in the management of this critical population. Recent published studies have shown that in addition to prompt revascularization, unloading of the left ventricle with the placement of the Impella percutaneous axillary flow pump can lead to improvement in mortality. Parameters such as the cardiac power output (CPO) and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), obtained through pulmonary artery catheterization, can help ascertain the productivity of right and left ventricular function. Utilization of these parameters can provide the information necessary to escalate support to the right ventricle with the insertion of an Impella RP or the left ventricle with the insertion of larger devices, which provide more forward flow. Herein, we present a case of AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock resulting in biventricular failure treated with the percutaneous insertion of an Impella RP and Impella 5.0 utilizing invasive markers of left and right ventricular function to guide the management and escalation of care.

Abstract Background Pulmonary artery catheter insertion is a routine practice in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, pulmonary artery catheter insertion is associated with numerous complications that can be devastating to the patient. Incorrect placement is an overlooked complication with few case reports to date. Case presentation An 18-year-old male patient underwent elective mitral valve replacement due to severe mitral valve regurgitation. The patient had a history of synovial sarcoma, and Hickman catheter had been inserted in the right internal jugular vein for systemic chemotherapy. We made multiple attempts to position the pulmonary artery catheter in the correct position but failed. A chest radiography revealed that the pulmonary artery catheter was bent and pointed in the cephalad direction. Removal of the pulmonary artery catheter was successful, and the patient was discharged 10 days after the surgery without complications. Conclusions To prevent misplacement of the PAC, clinicians should be aware of multiple risk factors in difficult PAC placement, and be prepared to utilize adjunctive methods, such as TEE and fluoroscopy.
