A 29-year old male was transferred to our hospital with an abnormal chest X-ray finding diagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with apical necrosis and aneurysm formation. Four years after the initial hospitalization, we confirmed the aneurysm and necrosis using both integrated positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. The F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) ...

Infective endocarditis (IE) is the infection of endocardial surface heart. IE rare disease with significant complications which require early diagnosis and proper treatment for reducing morbidity mortality.IE vegetation on pulmonary valve, leaflets are uncommon. However, we have diagnosed one case infective associated Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) related COVID-19. MIS-C...

Combination of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA), and a coexisting asymptomatic adult aortic isthmic coarctation is extremely rare. The timing and sequence of surgical and/or interventional repair of these two pathologies are controversial. We present a case of a 37-year-old male who was admitted to our department because of severe acute congestive heart failure and signs of ruptured an...

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2010;63(5):612-20 615 left ventricle was seen with a severely depressed systolic function (EF, 30%). Treatment with furosemide, nitroglycerine and dopamine at diuretic doses was initiated. Four days after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), fetal death was determined and expulsion took place, subsequently the placenta was extracted and curettage performed. On the tenth ...

A 68-year-old woman exhibited an increasingly protruding mass on the left heart border on chest X-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echo-free mass in the anterior pericardial space. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed blood flow from the proximal left anterior descending coronary into a large coronary artery aneurysm measuring 61 mm × 51 mm in diameter and a quadricuspid aor...

he presence of rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm can be clinically suspected when an abrupt onset of congestive heart failure is accompanied by a continuous murmur, evidence of right and left ventricular volume overload, and bounding peripheral pulses. Classically, the diagnosis has been confirmed by angiography, but several reports ruggest that M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography...

OBJECTIVES False aneurysm of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is one of complications after surgery of congenital heart disease. It is controversial about materials for reconstruction of RVOT in this setting, when associated with pulmonary hypertension or bacterial infection. Pulmonary homograft seems to be the first choice, but its availability is extremely limited in Japan. METHOD...

A successful simultaneous surgical repair of rupture of the interventricular septum and left ventricular aneurysm resulting from myocardial infarction is described. Very few similar cases have been described in the literature and in none was angiocardiography performed before operation. Preoperative angiocardiographic examination to demonstrate a ventricular aneurysm is of major importance in a...

Ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with fistulous connections to multiple cardiac chambers has not been reported previously. We report a 66-year-old man who presented with worsening cough and exertional dyspnea. Transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed a large aneurysm involving the noncoronary cusp of the aortic sinus with aneurysmal extension to the left atrium. There were also t...
