A Huge Mediastinal Organizing Hematoma Causing Reversal of Atrial Septal Defect Shunt Flow
We report a case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with subacute exertional dyspnea and severe hypoxia. A large cystic mass compressing the right side of the heart along with right-to-left atrial shunt flow through an alleged atrial septal defect (ASD) were detected on echocardiography. CT scan of the chest and MRI of the heart revealed a loculated cystic mediastinal mass with hemorrhage mea...
متن کاملShunt Size in Atrial Septal Defect
Two-dimensional echocardiography and pulsed-Doppler studies have not proved to be reliable methods of assessing left-to-right shunt size in atrial septal defect. Doppler color-flow imaging displays the transatrial jet, providing a new dimension with the potential capability of quantifying left-to-right shunt size. Twenty-three patients with atrial septal defect were studied by color-flow imagin...
متن کاملBidirectional shunt in uncomplicated atrial septal defect.
The presence of right to left shunts at atrial level in 40 patients with an uncomplicated atrial septal defect was determined by measuring the pulmonary vein to systemic artery oxygen stepdown . In six patients (group 1) a sizeable right to left shunt was found: left atrial oxygen stepdown was greater than or equal to 0.7 vol%, mean right to left shunt 0.67 1/min/m2 (range 0.36-1.0), and arteri...

Figure 1. Transthoracic four-chamber view (A) showing interatrial septal aneurysm (arrow) extending to the right ventricular inflow and left-to-right shunt (dotted arrow) with color Doppler (B). Transesophageal four-chamber (C) and short-axis (D) views showing huge interatrial septal aneurysm (asterisks). Multiple atrial septal defects (yellow arrows) were seen with color Doppler on four-chambe...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of a huge iatrogenic atrial septal defect
RATIONALE Iatrogenic atrial septal defects caused by cardiac surgery are rare complications that are traditionally repaired through reoperations; unfortunately, reoperations are accompanied by high risk and trauma. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we report a rare case of a huge atrial septal defect after mitral and aortic mechanical valve replacement. DIAGNOSES Transesophageal echocardiography rev...
