Rare Case Report

Pregnancy complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome is associated with high risk to the fetus as well as the mother. There is approximately 50% risk of sudden maternal death, frequently occuring a few days postpartum and the overall fetal wastage is reported to be up to 75%. Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome are advised to refrain from pregnancy or to terminate pregnancy by the end of rst trimester itself. Management of these patients requires a co- ordinated multi-specialist care when such pregnancies reach a stage where safe termination is not advisable. However, in spite of all the risks, a few patients deliver successfully with a good maternal and neonatal outcome. We present 2 cases reported till third trimester and delivered a healthy baby and were subsequently discharged on the 10th postpartum day without any serious complications.

Cor triatriatum dextrum is an exceptionally rare congenital heart disease, in which the right atrium is partitioned into two chambers by a membrane to form a triatrial heart. It is caused by persistence of the right valve of sinus venosus. The aim of presenting this case is to develop awareness regarding cor triatriatum dextrum , though a rare case, can be present and may contribute to right heart failure and 2D-echocardiography is an important tool in making early and accurate diagnosis. We are reporting a case of an elderly Bangladeshi male presented with the features of mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension with CCF with respiratory tract infection, where cor triatriatum dextrum with an atrial septal defect was an incidental finding on routine echocardiographic assessment.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(1) : 37-40

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options. CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, cost-effective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis.

Vv Ecmo

A 28-year-old man presented in extremis after a motorcycle crash. Following traumatic pneumonectomy, he developed right heart failure and was placed on veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) only to transition to veno-arteriovenous (VAV) ECMO due to persistent hypoxemia. Resulting flow limitation caused distal ischemia of his left leg, requiring thrombectomy and fasciotomy. Potential loss of limb necessitated transitioning to veno-venous (VV) ECMO from which he was successfully decannulated thereafter. ECMO can bridge recovery following the most dire injuries, and hybrid strategies can ameliorate post-operative complications; however, ECMO itself carries significant risks that must be weighed against intended benefit.
