Coronary-cameral and coronary arteriovenous fistulae in a transplanted heart.
A 32-year-old man underwent routine elective left heart catheterization 1 year after orthotopic cardiac transplantation for advanced congestive cardiac failure secondary to familial dilated cardiomyopathy. At the time of transplantation, the donor heart appeared normal macroscopically. During the following year, a total of 12 protocol endomyocardial biopsies were performed, all of which were ne...
متن کامل[Complications of endomyocardial biopsy after heart transplantation: a lesser evil].
Endomyocardial biopsy is still the principal method for diagnosing cardiac allograft rejection. However, this procedure can be associated, albeit rarely, with potentially serious complications. We describe the case of a patient with extensive anterior myocardial infarction without revascularization, who developed cardiogenic shock and required heart transplantation. Post-transplantation, a coro...
متن کاملAcquired coronary fistula after left ventricular de-airing by apical needle aspiration.
Acquired coronary fistula is uncommon, but has been reported to occur after several surgical procedures, acute myocardial infarction, endomyocardial biopsy, coronary angioplasty, and thoracic trauma. We describe the occurrence of a left coronary to left ventricular cavity fistula following resection of a left atrial myxoma, with spontaneous closure in the following weeks. The fistula was likely...

A 40 year-old man with no significant past history except for asymptomatic 1 st degree heart block presented for general health screen. Clinical examination revealed a loud continuous murmur with diastolic accentuation in the left precordium, non-collapsing pulse, and no differential pulses in the upper and lower limbs. The ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with PR interval of 220 milliseconds. Tr...
متن کاملEndomyocardial biopsy via the femoral access - still safe and valuable diagnostic tool
BACKGROUND The endomyocardial biopsy has proven to be an integral diagnostic tool for surveillance of cardiac allograft rejection and identification of myocardial diseases. Nevertheless, this invasive procedure is not risk-free. This study focuses on the risk of complications and diagnostic performance of right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). METHODS In this single-center retrospecti...
