Coexisting congenital primary superior vena caval aneurysm and rheumatic mitral stenosis.

چکیده
Congenital primary superior vena caval aneurysm (CPSVCA) as classified by Abbott and Leigh' is extremely rare. Two types have been described-fusiform, which is more common, and saccular. It was first reported by Abbott in 1950.2 To our knowledge, only 12 cases have been reported. In this article, we describe the fourth case of saccular CPSVCA and the first which coexisted with rheumatic mitral stenosis.

even in that cases, the basal portion of the muscular IVS is spared. Our patient had a well defined aneurysm of the basal IVS which was contractile in nature. The mechanism behind the development of aneurysm in our case might be the eccentric jet of mitral stenosis constantly striking the basal IVS region. Aneurysmal deformity of the basal IVS secondary to impinging turbulent transprosthetic ec...
متن کاملContinuous murmur due to the combination of rheumatic mitral stenosis and a rare type of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
SUMMARY A patient is described in whom a continuous murmur was caused by the combination of rheumatic mitral stenosis and a rare form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. In this case, the left superior pulmonary vein drained into the left atrium and also into a large anomalous vein which then drained to the right atrium via the innominate vein and superior vena cava. At surgery, mit...
متن کاملSurgical Approach To A Congenital Mitral Stenosis Case With Left Persistent Superior Vena Cava
Congenital mitral valve stenosis is a rare pathology. In this study, we aimed to present our surgical approach and successful valve repair to a case with congenital mitral valve stenosis combined with left persistent superior vena cava. Conservative surgery of the congenital mitral valve stenosis can be performed with acceptable early and midterm outcome in terms of mortality and reoperation ra...
متن کاملSuperior vena caval stenosis: a complication of transvenous endocardial pacing.
Superior vena caval obstruction is a rare complication of transvenous endocardial pacing and is usually the result of thrombus formation round the pacing electrode (Kosowsky and Barr, 1972). We report a case of superior vena caval obstruction without thrombus formation secondary to localised stenosis at the site of the proximal cut end of a retracted endocardial electrode. This complication of ...
متن کاملComplete occlusion of the superior vena cava with chronic mediastinitis in a case of generalized actinomycosis.
Ochsner and Dixon (1936), in a review of world literature, cited 120 cases of supenor vena caval thrombosis. Twenty-eight of these were due to chronic mediastinitis, of which eleven were stated to be due to syphilis, ten to tuberculosis, one to pyogenic infection, one to trauma, and five of unknown aetiology. Tubbs (1946) reported three further cases of superior vena caval obstruction, one of w...
