Coronary compression caused by stenting a right pulmonary artery conduit.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery is a rare and life-threatening complication of endovascular stenting of pulmonary artery conduits. This case report describes fatal myocardial infarction caused by compression of the left main coronary artery due to stent placement in a stenosed right pulmonary artery conduit.

[Stenting in primary pulmonary hypertension with compression of the left main coronary artery].
Primary pulmonary hypertension is often associated with angina-like chest pain of uncertain etiology. Left main coronary artery compression by the pulmonary artery is a treatable cause of angina and should be considered in these patients. We describe a patient presenting with primary pulmonary hypertension, clinical angina and extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery by the pulmon...
متن کاملPercutaneous stenting of bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis caused by malignant extrinsic compression.
Percutaneous stenting of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) represents a potential option in cases of PA compression due to a variety of conditions. We present the first reported case of successful bilateral percutaneous stenting of the PAs in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer and severe right ventricular hypertension due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy compressing both PAs. Although the natur...
متن کاملHemodynamic profile after the Norwood procedure with right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit.
BACKGROUND The balance of systemic, pulmonary, and coronary blood flow after the Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is critical to early survival. We hypothesized that a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit (instead of a systemic to pulmonary artery shunt) would result in hemodynamic changes consistent with a more stable balance of systemic, pulmonary, and coron...
متن کاملRisk of coronary artery compression among patients referred for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation: a multicenter experience.
BACKGROUND The Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) was approved for implantation in obstructed right ventricular outflow tract conduits in 2010 after a multicenter trial demonstrating improvements in conduit obstruction, regurgitation, and right ventricular pressure. A recognized risk and contraindication to TPV implantation is the demonstration of coronary artery (CA) compression during...
متن کاملInfluence of anatomical dominance and hypertension on coronary conduit arterial and microcirculatory flow patterns: a multiscale modeling study.
Coronary hemodynamics are known to be affected by intravascular and extravascular factors that vary regionally and transmurally between the perfusion territories of left and right coronary arteries. However, despite clinical evidence that left coronary arterial dominance portends greater cardiovascular risk, relatively little is known about the effects of left or right dominance on regional con...
