PSEUDOANEURYSM OF RIGHT VENTRICLE DUE TO LOCALIZED TUBERCULOSIS OF MYOCARDIUM: A CASE REPORT
A 5-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital with chest pain, fever and dyspnea. Physical examination showed normal heart sounds, diminished pulmonary sounds in the left hemithorax and a normal ECG. On chest X-ray the heart was slightly enlarged with moderate left pleural effusion. CT scan revealed pleural effusion and a hypodense mass at the apex of the heart. A cystic mass was detected...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: Case series highlighting various surgical strategies
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is rare, the surgical experience is limited and its surgical treatment remains still a challenge with an elevated mortality. Herein, it is presented a retrospective analysis of our experience with acquired post infarct LVP over a10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2006 through August 2016, a total of 13 pat...
متن کاملGd-enhanced cardiovascular MR imaging to identify left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
A pseudoaneurysm occurs when incomplete rupture of the heart seals within organizing thrombus, hematoma, and pericardium and maintains communication with the left ventricle. A pseudoaneurysm may cause arterial emboli and drain off a considerable portion of ventricular stroke volume. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging proves to be an adequate technique to not only identify pseudoaneurysms...
متن کاملLeft ventricular post-infraction pseudoaneurysm mimicking mitral valve endocarditis
In this report we present a patient who was initially diagnosed as suffering from mitral valve endocarditis. The proper use of diagnostic modalities revealed a pseudo aneurysm of the left ventricle which was mimicking mitral valve vegetations. This allowed better planning of the subsequent operation. The optimal preoperative diagnostic studies are discussed along with the proper surgical treatm...
متن کاملLeft Ventricle Postinfarction Pseudoaneurysm: Anatomical Forms and Surgical Management
Introduction: Left Ventricle Postinfarction Pseudoaneurysm (LVPS)—false aneurysm occurs after a free-wall rupture contained by the adjacent pericardium. LVPS lacks the normal structure of the ventricular wall and disrupts the normal chamber anatomy. However, the natural history, clinical presentation and surgical outcome are still unclear. For that reason, it is necessary to describe the most r...
