Saddle embolus of the aortic bifurcation treated by embolectomy.
Sudden occlusion of the aorta usually occurs at its bifurcation and is due to lodgement of an embolus. A blood clot sufficiently large to straddle the aorta usually comes from the atrium in a case of mitral stenosis. The importance of this aetiological factor was stressed by Banowitch and Ira (1928). Hermann et al. (1943) discussed the clinical manifestations and treatment of this condition. By...
متن کاملCoronary aneurysm complicated by acute myocardial infarction.
The case of a 55 years old, hypertensive, obese female is presented, who came to the emergency department with inferoposterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with right ventricular infarction. After thrombolytic therapy, she reperfused but had anginal symptoms on minimal activity. The patient underwent coronary angiogram which showed aneurysmal right coronary artery (RCA) wi...
متن کاملMitral valve surgery with surgical embolectomy for mitral valve endocarditis complicated by septic coronary embolism.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by septic coronary embolism due to active infective endocarditis is rare but usually fatal. We report a case of successful mitral valve surgery with surgical embolectomy in a 27-year-old man with an AMI complicated by septic coronary embolism due to mitral valve endocarditis. A chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly and marked pulmonary edema. A tra...

a 45- year old man with a history of aortic valve replacement presented with acute chest pain which was diagnosed to be anterior wall myocardial infarction. he received thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase. echocardiography and fluoroscopy showed normally functioning ball and cage aortic prosthesis. coronary arteriography showed globular filling defect in midportion of left anterior descendi...
متن کاملA rare case of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis complicated with multiple fistula to peri aortic structure
Multiple aorto-cardiac cavity communications is very rare but important complication of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis. The case below illustrates multiple aorto-cardiac cavity fistula formation following prostethic aortic valve endocarditis presented with slowly progressive symptoms of heart failure. A brief review of surgical reconstruction and the existing literature are presented, i...
