A left internal mammary artery to vein fistula was found incidentally in a 32-year-old woman with a continuous murmur. There was no significant history of trauma and no cardiac symptoms. A percutaneous embolization with vascular plug and coil was performed.

Venous stents (VS) are used to treat central and peripheral stenoses. Stent embolization into a cardiac chamber is a rare, yet serious complication. We present a case of a 61-year-old man with a recently stented arteriovenous graft venous stenosis who developed VS migration into the right ventricle, associated with S. aureus bacteremia.

conclusion superselective tae for lgi bleeding has a high success and low complication rate. there are no statistical correlations between the clinical success rate and several variables, including embolic material, embolization site, and anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication. patients and methods fifty-two patients who underwent superselective tae for lgi bleeding between 2003 and 2011 were...

BACKGROUND:Although rare, atrial myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor. The recognized triad of presenting symptoms relates to constitutional, embolic, and obstructive effects produced by However, presentation may be non-specific mimic other diseases, confounding diagnosis. CASE REPORT:A middle-aged woman presented with wheezing shortness breath. With a strong background smoking histor...

Introduction. Embolization into the systemic circulation through persistent foramen ovale is known as paradoxical embolization. Coexistence of embolism with pulmonary thromboembolism rare and it requires detailed examination. The objective this study was to present an unusual case stroke that complicated by occurrence thromboembolism, thrombosis superior mesenteric artery, arterial infarction n...

Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) is an asymptomatic coronary syndrome without a history of infarction, and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events.1 SMI is usually detected incidentally during routine controls. Although there is a high prevalence in elderly female patients, routine screening is not recommended1.As in this current case, in patients with SMI, in addition to aspi...

Cardiac hydatid cysts are rarely seen. The presentation of an acute lower limb ischemia secondary to embolization from an interventricular hydatic cyst is also rare. We describe a case of a 30-year-old-man who presented with acute lower limb ischemia revealing hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum and septal defect, and who was operated on successfully.

BACKGROUND The significance and optimal treatment of systemic-to-pulmonary arterial collateral (SPC) vessels in single ventricle patients are poorly understood. The acute efficacy of SPC embolization has not been demonstrated in a quantifiable fashion. We sought to assess the acute efficacy of SPC embolization on blood flow as quantified by phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging and hypothes...

A compressed air diver suffered pulmonary barotrauma with arterial air embolization; resuscitation was unsuccessful. Attempts at resuscitation included mouth-to-mouth ventilation and cardiac massage. A chest radiograph taken during resuscitation revealed free intraperitoneal air. Postmortem examination showed rupture of the stomach. The two possible aetiological factors--barotrauma of ascent an...

Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. Patients with left atrial myxomas generally present with mechanical obstruction of blood flow, systemic embolization, and constitutional symptoms. We present a case of an unusually large left atrial myxoma discovered incidentally in a patient with longstanding dyspnea being managed as bronchial asthma.
