Isolated and Complex Scimitar Vein Anomalies and Their Differentiation from the Meandering Right Pulmonary Vein
PURPOSE Four pediatric patients with isolated (the adult form) and complex (the infantile form) scimitar vein anomalies were reviewed and compared with patients with meandering right pulmonary veins. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 1990 to December 2006, 4 female patients, aged 2 days to 3.5 years, with isolated and complex scimitar vein anomalies were retrospectively studied. The clinical...
متن کاملPrimary Pulmonary Vein Leiomyosarcoma: A Case Report
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the heart is extremely rare and found in about 0.2% of all cardiac tumors. Here in a 26-year-old man with progressive dyspnea, which had started since 2 months ago, is presented. Echocardiography revealed a left atrial mass, which was suggestive for a atrial myxoma.On the surgery, a tumoral tissue in the left atrium and pulmonary veins with attachment to peripheral sof...
متن کاملTrastuzumab increases pulmonary vein arrhythmogenesis through modulating pulmonary vein electrical and conduction properties via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling
Objective(s): Drug-induced atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered an adverse effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. AF is a crucial risk factor for stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and mortality. Pulmonary veins (PVs) are considered triggers inducing AF, and the sinoatrial node (SAN) may modulate PV activity and participate in AF genesis. AF was associated with...
متن کاملCase Series: Fetal Pulmonary Vein A-Wave Reversal: An Early Marker of Left-Sided Cardiac Anomalies?
Background Improvements in congenital heart disease (CHD) screening are needed based on the lack of sensitivity of current screening methods and the understanding that the early detection of certain CHDs may improve outcomes. Fetal venous circulation has caught medical attention, and two studies demonstrated that it is feasible to register pulmonary vein flow velocity waveforms (FVWs) during ea...
متن کاملLeft atrial-pulmonary vein reentrant tachycardia following pulmonary vein isolation.
Pulmonary vein isolation has become the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation. However, it is sometimes followed by the development of left atrial macro-reentrant tachycardia. There is evidence to suggest that the myocardial sleeves within the pulmonary veins may be implicated in the mechanism of the tachycardia. Here we present a case of a post-ablation macro-reentrant tachycardia, i...
