Recent Inferior Myocardial Infarction Complicated with a Right Ventricular Thrombus Detected by Three Cardiac Imaging Modalities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 71-year-old woman diagnosed with recent inferior myocardial infarction complicated with right ventricular infarction and a right ventricular thrombus. Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging clearly detected a thrombus. We consider cases with a recent right ventricular infarction to require assessment for thrombus formations in the right ventricle. Fortunately, vigorous anticoagulation therapy resolved the thrombi in both the right ventricle and right coronary artery.

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20160073 A 47-year-old male presented with a subacute inferior myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by inferobasal ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and underwent emergency surgical repair of VSR with a pericardial patch. In the postoperative period he remained hypotensive, with low exercise tolerance and a holosystolic murmur was present. Echocardiography showed persistence o...

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction detected by gated scintiphotography in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Twenty-seven patients with acute myocardial infarction not complicated by cardiogenic shock and ten normal volunteers were studied with gated cardiac blood pool scans. The ratio right vetricular area/left ventricular area (RVA/LVA) determined from the left anterior oblique end-diastolic scans was examined. The ratio was 1.11 +/- .06 in the normal volunteers. In patients with anterior infarction...

P declare that no experiments were performed on humans or animals for this investigation. Pseudoaneurysms are a serious complication of myocardial infarction but can be asymptomatic and only detected by chance in patients with previous subclinical events. The images presented are of a 62-year-old man, a smoker, with no history of heart disease, admitted to our hospital for community-acquired pn...
متن کاملClinical manifestations of right ventricle involvement in inferior myocardial infarction
Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...
