Missile embolization is rare in penetrating trauma, occurring in 0.3% Bullet embolism into the left ventricle is less frequent, with few instances described in the literature. This paper describes an instance of left ventricular bullet embolism from the pulmonary venous system following gunshot chest trauma.
Background and Purpose:Right-to-left shunt (RLS) is one of the potential embolic sources in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), but the eligibility of conducting shunt study to detect RLS in ESUS is still unknown. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP259-ATP259, February 1, 2024. cm/s, p = 0.021).
Clinical introduction A woman in her mid-40s with a recent diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (on rivaroxaban) presented to the emergency room with dyspnea and fatigue. Vital signs were stable on arrival but a new holosystolic murmur was noted on exam and labs revealed pancytopenia. Infectious workup was unrevealing.
In patients with nonvalvular A fib, the majority of embolic strokes are caused by thrombi development in the left atrial appendage. Patients with documented STEMI, left ventricular thrombus, mechanical mitral or aortic valve replacement were excluded. A fib is a well-established risk factor for ischemic strokes. years with STD 7.86.
The post ectopic increase in the murmur is a hallmark of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, which differentiates it clinically from mitral valve prolapse. Echocardiography in HCM Important echocardiographic features include mitral regurgitation and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
When there is ectopy, there is a chance for spurious mitral regurgitation to occur during left ventriculography. It is used for pulmonary angiography by the transfemoral route and it is also used for clot lysis in pulmonary embolism. It has a gentle curve here and almost a right angled curve just before the multiple side holes.
Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.
We reported the feasibility and short-term outcomes of percutaneous transcatheter therapy with cerebral embolic protection. The indications for the transcatheter therapy were failed fibrinolysis, contraindications for fibrinolysis, not willing for fibrinolysis, or high risk for surgery. 1273.47) days, stroke was 1211.38 (95% CI, 1110.40–1312.35)
We postulate that the Amulet device dislodged shortly after deployment and was held within the left atrium by the MitraClip until detachment, allowing for device embolization and severe MR. To our knowledge this is the first documented instance of Amulet device migration into the LV in a patient with a MitraClip.
Clinical manifestations of AM include mitral valve obstruction, systemic embolism, and weakness. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common complication of atrial myxoma (AM), and most emboli originate from a thrombus attached to the surface of the myxoma, with occasional shedding of tumor fragments leading to stroke.
