Left main coronary artery occlusion due to thrombus embolization from a prosthetic mitral valve.

چکیده
A 46-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic heart disease and mitral and aortic valve replacement with mechanical bileaflet prosthesis was admitted with acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock after discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy. She underwent emergency coronary catheterization. Fluoroscopy confirmed normal motion of the prosthetic valve leaflets. Coronary angiography revealed a large filling defect within the left main coronary artery (Fig. 1) with TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction)

A 24-year-old male patient with anterior myocardial infarction, caused by embolization from mitral valve prosthesis due to inadequate anticoagulation is presented. The patient underwent cardiac catheterization within 90 minutes of arrival. Angiography showed total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) after the second diagonal branch. Thrombus was extracted with export...
متن کاملMitral valve thrombus, embolic events, carotid artery stenosis and patent foramen ovale.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with high prevalence of stroke and systemic embolisation. A 53-year-old man had mitral valve thrombus and PFO diagnosed by echocardiography, in addition to carotid artery stenosis and embolic events including transient ischemia attack, retinal artery occlusion and left kidney infarct. Surgical removal of the mitral valve thrombus and concomitant coronary...

Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملAcute Myocardial Infarction Due to Coronary Artery Embolism in a 22-Year-Old Woman with Mitral Stenosis with Atrial Fibrillation Under Warfarinization: Successful Management with Anticoagulation
BACKGROUND Coronary artery embolization is an exceedingly rare cause of myocardial infarction, but a few cases in association with prosthetic mechanical valves have been reported. We report a case of embolic myocardial infarction caused by a thrombus in the left atrium with deranged coagulation profile in a patient with critical mitral stenosis under warfarinization. CASE REPORT A 22-year-old w...
متن کاملSuccessful management of left main coronary artery thrombus with intracoronary thrombolysis.
The management of valvular heart diseases with mechanical valves has been performed for several years. Warfarin has been used in patients with mechanical heart valves to protect against thromboembolic complications; nevertheless, in these patients, thromboembolic event rates range from 0.5% to 1.7%. Acute occlusive embolism to the coronary arteries due to a mechanical valve is an uncommon occur...
