Giant Right Atrial Diverticulum in an Adult

Xin Chen, Xiaolong Guo, Yiming Ni, Jiwei Yu, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 40 - 42

Abstract We describe a 32‐year‐old man with chest pain and a giant right atrial diverticulum who underwent surgical resection. Examination of resected atrial tissue showed extreme wall thinning, central aneurysmal formation, and focal endocardial fibrosis consistent with idiopathic dilatation of the right atrium. It is unclear what the best treatment of right atrial diverticulum are, nor are the risks of thromboembolism, arrhythmia, and rupture of the diverticulum clearly defined, either for patients as a whole or for symptomatic or asymptomatic subgroups. However, to reduce the risk of sudden death we recommend surgical resection of large diverticula....

Unusual Manifestations of Vascular Rings

Richard D. Mainwaring, John L. Jacobson, Olaf Reinhartz, Robert L. Gates

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 79 - 83

Abstract Vascular rings are a relatively rare entity caused by abnormal development of the fetal aortic arches. Most patients with vascular rings present in infancy or early childhood with respiratory (inspiratory) symptoms. The treatment of patients with symptomatic vascular rings is generally straight‐forward, focusing on surgical division of the ring. The majority of patients are “cured” by this simple procedure. However, a small percentage of patients do not follow this typical course. The purpose of this manuscript is to review and discuss three patients who demonstrated unusual manifestations of vascular rings. Two patients required reoperation after double aortic arch repair and one had successful treatment of an aberrant right subclavian artery....

Heartmate II Implantation with Right Coronary Bypass Grafting in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy with “Fixed” Pulmonary Hypertension: Treatment Strategy to Protect Right Ventricular Function

Sebastian‐Patrick Sommer, Armin Gorski, Ivan Aleksic, Cagatay Yildirim, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 116 - 119

Abstract A 49‐year‐old male patient suffering from end‐stage ischemic cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular ejection fraction below 15% was presented to redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Coronary angiogram demonstrated an occluded left anterior descending artery and occluded right coronary artery, perfused retrogradely from the circumflex artery. Since positron emission tomography did not demonstrate viable left ventricular myocardium except for the basis of the left ventricle, CABG was considered futile. Cardiac transplantation was contra‐indicated due to pharmacologically unresponsive pulmonary artery hypertension. The patient successfully underwent left ventricular assist device implantation in combination with right coronary artery revascularization. The article reflects the regimen of right ventricular preservation in this patient....

Two‐Stage Surgical Repair for Truncus Arteriosus with Unilateral Absence of the Left Proximal Pulmonary Artery: Translocation of the Left Pulmonary Artery to the Right Pulmonary Artery

Mitsugi Nagashima, Narutoshi Hibino, Yoshimasa Seike, Masaaki Ohta, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 90 - 92

Abstract A two‐stage surgical repair of a one‐month‐old infant with truncus arteriosus with unilateral absence of a proximal pulmonary artery (PA) with a closed ipsilateral ductus arteriosus was successfully performed. In the first palliation, translocation of the discontinuous, closed, and undeveloped PA to the adjacent area of the other PA was useful for making a pulmonary arterial confluence at timing of the subsequent radical operation....

Reversal of Paraplegia Following Repair of an Ascending Aortic Dissection

Harold L. Lazar, Avneesh Gupta

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 65 - 66

Abstract We report the case of a patient who presented with sudden onset of paraplegia following an acute ascending aortic dissection extending to the arch, descending, and abdominal aorta. The paraplegia was fully reversed following an emergent replacement of the ascending aorta and hemi‐arch repair.(J Card Surg 2010;25:65‐66)

Pulmonary Artery Intimal Sarcoma: Case Report

Yulong Hou, Zhenya Shen, Wei Gao, Wenxue Ye

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 29 - 31

Abstract A 72‐year‐old woman with pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma was successfully treated with surgery. With heightened clinical awareness and technological advancement, more and more cases were diagnosed definitely before operation. Computed tomography of the chest showed a mass in right ventricular extending to pulmonary trunk and the left pulmonary artery. The patient underwent complete surgical resection and repair of the pulmonary artery with no evidence of recurrence during the 12‐month follow‐up, suggesting that early identification and aggressive surgical intervention would improve survival....

Remote Ischemic Conditioning: Evolution of the Concept, Mechanisms, and Clinical Application

Pankaj Saxena, Mark A.J. Newman, Jaffar S. Shehatha, Andrew N. Redington, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 127 - 134

Abstract Remote ischemic conditioning is a novel concept of protection against ischemia‐reperfusion injury. Brief controlled episodes of intermittent ischemia of the arm or leg may confer a powerful systemic protection against prolonged ischemia in a distant organ. This conditioning phenomenon is clinically applicable and can be performed before—preconditioning, during—perconditioning, or after—postconditioning prolonged distant organ ischemia. The remote ischemic conditioning may have an immense impact on clinical practice in the near future....

Posterior Root Enlargement for Aortic Valve Replacement Associated with Unexpected Anomalous Right Coronary Artery

Kaan Inan, Alper Ucak, Burak Onan, Burak Tamtekin, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 25 > 1 > 92 - 95

Abstract Anomalous right coronary artery (ARCA) generally follows a course between the aorta and pulmonary artery. When ARCA follows a course posterolateral to the aortic root behind the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva, the vessel can be at risk of injury during posterior aortic root enlargement. We present the case of a 21‐year‐old man with congenital aortic stenosis and small aortic root, who had an intraoperative diagnosis of ARCA. After posterior root enlargement through the noncoronary sinus, ARCA was mobilized from the aortic root and reimplanted into the right coronary sinus. Postoperative follow‐up of the patient was uneventful....
