Iatrogenic Circumflex Artery Stenosis Following Mitral Valve Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
Injury of the left circumflex coronary artery is a potentially serious complication of mitral valve surgery due to the proximity of the vessel to the posterior segment of the mitral annulus. Suture-related distortion of the artery with partial or subtotal occlusion is the most commonly implicated mechanism. Herein, we present a case of symptomatic iatrogenic circumflex coronary artery stenosis following mitral valve annuloplasty for degenerative mitral valve regurgitation.

Echocardiographic identification of iatrogenic injury of the circumflex artery during minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
BACKGROUND Injury to the circumflex artery after mitral valve (MV) repair or replacement is a recognized complication of this procedure. We designed an echocardiographic method to visualize the course and flow of the circumflex artery, to detect iatrogenic injury to this structure intraoperatively, as well as to predict the coronary dominance pattern in MV surgery patients. METHODS After Ethi...
متن کاملTransesophageal Echocardiographic Diagnosis and Management of Circumflex Artery Injury Following Mitral Valve Repair
A 16-year-old woman with severe mitral regurgitation as a result of rheumatic heart disease underwent mitral valve repair with posterior mitral annuloplasty. ST elevation was observed in leads II, III and aVF after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. On transesophageal echocardiography, the stenosis of the circumflex artery was suggested by a modified midesophageal long axis. Since the patient...
متن کامل[Percutaneous coronary intervention for iatrogenic occlusion of the circumflex artery after mitral anuloplasty].
We describe a patient with obstruction of the dominant circumflex artery after surgical repair of the mitral valve, repaired successfully with percutaneous coronary intervention during the immediate postoperative period. We discuss the etiology, prevention and management of this complication with special emphasis on percutaneous intervention.
متن کاملLate Presentation of Recurrent Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia following Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair due to Epicardial Injury
We report a 73-year-old male with late onset monomorphic ventricular tachycardia following mitral valve repair (MVR). Typically, injury to epicardial arteries following mitral valve repair/replacement presents immediately as ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, difficulty weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, worsening ECG changes, increasing cardiac biomarkers, or new wall motion abnormalities...
متن کاملCoronary sinus iatrogenic lesion during repeated mitral valve replacement: case report of an immediate transmitral annulus repair
We report a case and evolution of a patient in whom the coronary sinus was damaged and reconstructed through the mitral annulus. The surgical accident happened during a degenerated biological valve prosthesis instrumentation. An almost complete left circumflex coronary artery division was our first hypothesis. A coronary probe introduced through the vascular injury was distally detected inside ...
