Abstract:

A seven-year-old girl with clinical diagnosis of aortic insufficiency underwent echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation and referred for surgery with the same diagnosis. However, at surgery, aorto-Ieft ventricular tunnel was found and repaired successfully. Review of echocardiogram and catheterization data revealed interesting findings to differentiate this rare entity from congenital aortic regurgitation.

Aorto-left ventricular tunnel in a multianeurysmal heart.

A 25-year-old male presented to us with multiple episodes of syncope during the past 6 months. Physical examination was remarkable for bradycardia, an increased pulse pressure, and a systolico-diastolic murmur associated with thrill at the aortic area. ECG (Figure 1) showed complete heart block with a wide QRS escape. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography with color Doppler (Figures 2 ...

گزارش 3 بیمار مبتلا به تونل آئورت به بطن چپ

Aorto-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a rare congenital anomaly in which an abnormal communication connects the ascending aorta with the left ventricle, that results volume overload on left ventricle. It is clinically undistinguishable from aortic insufficiency. Its prompt and precise diagnosis is crucial since early surgical treatment is definitely indicated. In this report clinical,...

Aorto-ventricular tunnel

Aorto-ventricular tunnel is a congenital, extracardiac channel which connects the ascending aorta above the sinutubular junction to the cavity of the left, or (less commonly) right ventricle. The exact incidence is unknown, estimates ranging from 0.5% of fetal cardiac malformations to less than 0.1% of congenitally malformed hearts in clinico-pathological series. Approximately 130 cases have be...

Hypereosinophilic Cardiac Involvement Presenting With Left Ventricular Massive Thrombus and Cardioembolic Stroke: A Case Report

Introduction: It is well known that the tendency toward thrombosis is increased in cancer patients. The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...
