Clinical value and severity of myocardial perfusion defects in asymptomatic diabetic patients with negative or weakly positive exercise treadmill test
Objective: Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in type 2 diabetic patients, it is frequently asymptomatic. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is reported to show ischemia in a significant number of asymptomatic diabetic patients. We studied the prevalence and severity of myocardial perfusion defects in asymptomatic diabetic patients and its clinical impact. Meth...
متن کاملStent graft used to rescue coronary rupture during percutaneous coronary intervention for myocardial bridge.
Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital variation of the coronary arteries and the segment of the coronary artery through myocardium is compressed during systole. Although it is relatively asymptomatic, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be necessary to relieve symptoms. Perforation or frank rupture of coronary arteries occurs rarely in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interve...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Following Inferior Myocardial Infarction: A Case for Conservative Management
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction that carries a high mortality rate. Although conventional wisdom suggests prompt surgical repair in order to mitigate risk of expansion and rupture, there are some data to support non-operative management in asymptomatic individuals with likely chronic pseudoaneurysms, particularly when surgical candidacy is poor. W...
متن کاملAsymptomatic spontaneous rupture of a nonaneurismal visceral aorta.
Spontaneous nonaneurysmal rupture of the aorta is a life-threatening condition for which emergency diagnostic and therapeutic measures are indicated. An asymptomatic spontaneous aortic rupture was unexpectedly discovered adjacent to the visceral aorta. We diagnosed the mass as a pseudoaneurysm, and surgery was performed. This was the first reported case of asymptomatic spontaneous rupture of a ...
متن کاملLong term outcome of patients with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
BACKGROUND It is debatable whether surgical repair is routinely indicated in asymptomatic patients with left ventricular pseudoaneurysms. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long term outcome of patients with pseudoaneurysm after myocardial infarction, focusing on those treated conservatively. METHODS 10 patients with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm were followed up over a mean (SD) pe...
