چکیده

was fistulized from the area near the mitral valve toward the left atrium. Mobile fibrillary vegetations were observed inside the aneurysm. Using the 3-D assessment, a segment bulging towards the mitral valve in diastole was also observed. There was no detectable structural defect of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (Fig. 3a-c; Video 3). Blood cultures were positive for Streptococcus spp. The patient subsequently underwent surgical intervention together with antibiotic therapy. MAIVF pseudoaneurysm from the left atrium to aortic root was restored using bovine pericardium, and aortic valve replacement was also performed (Fig. 4a, b; Video 4).

Coronary artery steal syndrome in patient after coronary arteries by-pass surgery and left subclavian artery stenting: is the maintenance of a patent internal mammary artery still necessary?

[email protected] The use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is preferred for the revascularization of a stenosed or occluded left anterior descending artery (LAD). Occlusion or stenosis of proximal part of the left subclavian artery (LSA) could induce reverse blood flow in LIMA called coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) and should be revascularized before coronary artery bypass ...
