Adult left-ventricular diverticulum and patent ductus arteriosus misdiagnosed as coronary artery disease with infarct aneurysm: a case report
BACKGROUND Left-ventricular diverticulum (LD) associated with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is extremely rare. We have not found any previous reports of the coexistence of these two malformations. Such an association presenting with chest pain mimicking an infarct aneurysm with angina or a takotsubo cardiomyopathy with chest pain is difficult to differentiate clinically. Here, we discuss sever...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in a lamb: A case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...
متن کاملAneurysm of the Pulmonary Artery with Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rare condition. In the Indian literature, the case reported by Rogers (1908) of a dilatation of the artery with atheroma seems to he the only case. Scott (1934) was able to collect 89 cases from literature between the periods of 1836 and 1934. Wahl and Gard (1931) reported a case of aneurysm of the pulmonary artery in a girl aged 19. In this case symptoms d...
متن کاملSilent patent ductus arteriosus aneurysm.
Ductus arteriosus aneurysm, a rare and potentially fatal condition, has been reported as a complication after surgical ductus arteriosus closure. Its spontaneous appearance as a septic complication, which was common in the presurgical and preantibiotic era, has been rarely reported in the contemporary literature. Persistence of silent ductus arteriosus in healthy children and adults is a freque...
متن کاملGiant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm Secondary To Patent Ductus Arteriosus: A Case Report
Aneurysms involving the main pulmonary artery and its branches are rare. Clinical experience is limited, and their management is not well established. We present the case of a 35-year-old male patient with dyspnea and hemoptysis in whom subsequent imaging studies revealed a giant pulmonary artery aneurysm associated with an uncorrected patent ductus arteriosus and Eisenmenger's syndrome. We cho...
