Case Report: Endovascular embolization under DSA for multivessel supply mixed pulmonary sequestration in young patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital lung developmental anomaly characterized by abnormal lung tissue that receives its blood supply from the aorta. Utilizing the Seldinger technique, we accessed the right femoral artery and vein for angiography, confirming the abnormal vessels supplying the pulmonary cyst.

Case Report: IVC-agenesis and FVL mutation; successful DVT/PE treatment with direct oral anticoagulation (factor Xa inhibitor)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Inferior vena cava (IVC) agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly that has been implicated in up to 5% of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases in young men under 30 years old. We present the case of a 28-year-old obese Caucasian male who arrived at our hospital with significant pain and swelling in his right lower extremity.

Torsade in a patient with left bundle branch block: is there a long QT? (And: Left Bundle Pacing).

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

CT of the chest showed no pulmonary embolism but bibasilar infiltrates. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. She was intubated.

Understanding an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

MIBHS

Congenital Heart Defects Some individuals are born with heart defects that cause parts of the heart to work harder, leading to enlargement over time. Blood Clots: An enlarged heart is more prone to developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism.
