The third-generation left ventricular assist device (3G-LVAD) has significantly reduced adverse events and hospitalizations compared with previous generations. This case presents a rare 3G-LVAD rotor dislodgement malfunction, not previously documented, in 77-year-old man. Further research behind the malfunction is warranted for early prevention appropriate management.
The outcomes of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in adults with congenital heart disease are not well described.In a retrospective study adult patients who underwent between 2000 and 2020 at Mayo Clinic, procedural characteristics were collected. primary arrhythmia (AA) recurrence following 3-month blanking period repeat ablation. An clinical severity score was assessed pre- post-ablation based on the duration episodes, symptoms, cardioversion frequency, antiarrhythmic drug use.One...
First described in 2016, BRASH syndrome is an underreported clinical entity characterized by bradycardia, renal dysfunction, atrioventricular nodal blockade (AVNB), shock, and hyperkalemia. The recognition of as a crucial for early effective management. Patients with present symptomatic bradycardia that resistant to treatment standard agents such atropine. In this report, we the case 67-year-old male patient who presented ultimate diagnosis syndrome. We also shed light on predisposing...
Myopericarditis associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has been recognized as an uncommon adverse reaction, especially among young, healthy adult males. Eosinophilic myocarditis is a rare form of inflammation reflecting hypersensitivity reaction following inciting event commonly caused by drugs including vaccines. myocarditis, subtype characterized eosinophilic myocardial infiltrates. It usually accompanied systemic eosinophilia in the drug and symptoms (DRESS) syndrome rarely myocyte...
Unlike in infancy, where intussusception is an abdominal emergency, diagnosis of could be tricky adults as most these patients present sub-acutely with vague symptoms. Early impact significantly decreasing morbidity and mortality along reduction healthcare expenses. Colo-colonic rare accounts for less than 20% adult intussusception. More 50% caused by mass-like lesions. In such cases, this early presentation malignant intestinal Abdominal CT mandatory all patients; when combined ultrasound,...
Infective endocarditis refers to infection of one or more valves the heart, with Achromobacter xylosoxidans (A. xylosoxidans) being a rare cause. So far, 24 cases A. were reported, only case describing tricuspid valvular involvement. Despite rarity endocarditis, it is important for clinicians be aware atypical presentation and high mortality associated it. We present an autopsy-proven valve in setting bacteremia 43-year-old female.
Splenic infarction is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. In this article, we present a case isolated splenic presenting with severe pain, nausea, and associated generalized weakness. Computed tomography (CT) abdomen pelvis contrast revealed multiple infarctions the entire lower pole occlusion branch arteries, while CT without was unremarkable. Etiology later to be thromboembolism secondary atrial fibrillation. It managed anticoagulation. To our knowledge, second as initial manifestation...
We aimed to determine the incidence and mortality rates of in-stent restenosis (ISR) stent thrombosis (STS) within 30 days in patients who underwent PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) as an elective procedure (PCI-E) versus following myocardial infarction (PCI- MI). From 2016 2020, we queried National Readmission Database identify initial hospitalization for PCI. excluded less than 18 years. Of PCI-E (n= 342,644) PCI-MI 1,107,614) groups, identified 44,999 107,947 patients,...
Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency Virus Associated Cardiomyopathy (HIVAC) is characterized by left ventricular (LV) systolic or diastolic dysfunction with without LV dilatation and heart failure symptoms. The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has changed the fulminant presentation HIV myocarditis to failure. We present a unique case dilated cardiomyopathy in young patient advanced illness which rarely been documented literature. This rare HIVAC post-ART era. Case Report: A...
Background: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is essential for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular fibrillation where anticoagulation contraindicated. Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) has been proven effective and safe LAAO since 2011, yet adoption rates remain low, only 2.2% of LAAOs guided by ICE between 2015 2019. Transesophageal (TEE), the current gold standard, differ significantly operational dynamics patient impacts, influencing procedural outcomes. Objective: This...
Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated benefits in chronic heart failure. Their efficacy acute decompensated failure (ADHF) is not well established, warranting further investigation. This meta-analysis evaluates the impact of SGLT2i (empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and sotagliflozin) on patients with ADHF. Methods: A systematic review were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies sourced from MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central...
Iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare complication following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). An 83-year-old male underwent TAVI for severe stenosis (AS) and was diagnosed with peri-membranous VSD on echocardiography, which not evident pre-procedural imaging. This case highlights the risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, management of iatrogenic TAVI.
