Right ventricular outflow tract aneurysm with thrombus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) aneurysm is a known complication of tetralogy of Fallot repair when a ventriculotomy is done. It leads to RV dysfunction and may require re-operation. We describe a rare instance of a patient who developed an RVOT aneurysm after trans-ventricular repair of tetralogy of Fallot, which was complicated with the formation of a thrombus in the aneurysm sac. The patient underwent re-operation with thrombectomy, excision of the RVOT aneurysm and pulmonary valve replacement. To the best of our knowledge, the occurrence of this combination and its implications have not been reported.

I t is not unusual for complicated aneurysms of the ascending aorta to affect left ventricular function. Processes causing or associated with an aneurysm may narrow the coronary artery ostia and produce myocardial ischemia or infarction; the aneurysm may distort the aortic valve ring and produce aortic insufficiency with subsequent left ventricular hypertrophy, dilatation, and failure. However,...

BACKGROUND In hereditary spherocytosis with severe anemia, splenectomy is a recommended treatment. However, the spleen carries an important role both in immune function and coagulation. The increased risk of bacterial infections associated with splenectomy is well known. Recently, hypercoagulation disorders have also been linked to splenectomy through loss of regulation of platelet activity, lo...
