Although primarily a respiratory illness, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with cardiac involvement reported cases of myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, myocarditis, pericarditis, and pericardial effusion leading to tamponade. Most in this setting have during the acute infection. Here, we present patient who developed pericarditis tamponade after resolution COVID-19 Her course illness was further complicated by poor response initial medical therapy non-steroidal...
Carotid stump syndrome is a rare cause of recurrent cerebrovascular accidents. the patent proximal remnant below completely occluded internal carotid artery (ICA). Cerebral and retinal ischemic symptoms seen after complete occlusion ipsilateral ICA known as syndrome. Known for causing accidents, it potentially treatable entity. The therapeutic goal medical management with statin, dual anti-platelet therapy along surgical intervention either an endovascular repair or endarterectomy. Herein,...
Every year, Influenza infection contributes to significant morbidity and mortality carrying a huge economic burden. Extra-pulmonary manifestations are increasingly being recognized. We present 29-year-old woman with acute pericarditis cardiac tamponade requiring emergent pericardiocentesis secondary B infection. Although very rare in relation infection, the pericardial disease can occur during or as post-viral syndrome. Considering patients chest pain any viral may facilitate timely...
Introduction: Solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) are commonplace and often incidental findings on diagnostic imaging such as computed tomography (CT) of the thorax. A SPN is defined a single lung opacity less than 3cm in size. They present dilemma differentials broad range from benign to malignant. Here, we case an patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Case Description: 33 year-old female history recreational marijuana use presented hospital right-sided flank pain, dysuria, fevers, nausea for...
INTRODUCTION: Immediate complications after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction surgery (BLVRS) include pneumothorax, chest pressure and COPD exacerbation. Complicated parapneumonic effusion following BLVRS is an unusual delayed complication. Only a handful number of cases has been reported in literature. We present successful management Streptococcus intermedius patient post-BLVRS without removing endobronchial valves. CASE PRESENTATION: 58-year-old male with PMH alpha-1 antitrypsin...
INTRODUCTION:Vanishing bronchus syndrome (VBS) is a severe form of late airway complication seen after lung transplantation.Limited data available regarding management these complications.We present an interesting case vanishing in post-transplant patient, managed successfully with iCAST stents placement.CASE PRESENTATION:59-year-old male end stage COPD from alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency received bilateral transplantation.Short term post-operative course was complicated by antibody mediated...
