Exercise-induced Atrioventricular Block with Coronary Artery Stenosis that Appeared Five Years after Bypass Surgery

چکیده
A 68-year-old man with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery was referred to our hospital because of pre-syncope on effort. During a treadmill exercise electrocardiogram test, the patient developed advanced atrioventricular block associated with dizziness. Coronary angiography revealed significant stenosis of the right coronary artery, which had not existed at the time of the bypass surgery. We implanted drug-eluting stents in the stenotic lesion, and an exercise test showed resolution of the atrioventricular block. Exercise-induced atrioventricular block is rare, and it is necessary to distinguish it from ischemic heart disease, especially in patients with a history of coronary artery disease.

Introduction: One of the important complications of peripheral venous catheters is suppurative thrombophlebitis that would be life threatening without treatment. In this report, we introduce a patient who developed purulent thrombophlebitis due to venous catheter in the upper limb after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Multiple abscess formation was developed on her upper limb after the th...
متن کاملLeft main coronary artery stenosis; results of coronary bypass surgery.
Fifty-six patients with severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery underwent coronary bypass surgery between January 1970 and December 1971. All patients had angina pectoris. Seventy-five per cent of the patients had an unstable anginal pattern. There were six perioperative deaths for a surgical mortality of 10.7%. Of the 50 patients surviving surgery, 96% are alive from 12 to 36 months p...

A 64-year-old man was admitted with unstable angina pectoris. He had been followed-up at outpatient clinics for mild to moderate aortic regurgitation and bicuspid aortic valve. He developed complete atrioventricular block (AVB) and underwent permanent pacemaker implantation 9 years previously. Cardiac catheterization showed severe stenosis at the left main trunk, as well as unexpected unrupture...
