Congenital diverticula of the left and right ventricles: 3 cases (original) (raw)
1984, The American Journal of Cardiology
AI-generated Abstract
The paper discusses three cases of congenital diverticula of the left and right ventricles, detailing their origins, associated cardiac and extracardiac anomalies, surgical treatments undertaken, and the patients' clinical courses. Significant findings include the successful resection of diverticula, though one patient unfortunately succumbed postoperatively to congestive heart failure.

Occlusion of left coronary artery ostium by an aortic valve cusp
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
infraclavicular area in 1 patient [1, 2]. This murmur led cardiologists to further investigate and hence establish diagnosis in 6 patients, including ours [2]. In the other patient, the discovery of an anomalous mediastinal structure on chest roentgenogram forced surgeons to perform exploratory thoracotomy during which they noted the presence of a mediastinal mass with a continuous thrill requiring additional investigations [1]. Although the tunnel could be readily identified by two-dimensional echocardiography, retrograde aortography combined with selective coronary angiography was the most appropriate diagnostic tool [2].
Radiation-Induced Bilateral Coronary Ostial Stenosis in a 17-Year-Old Patient
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2006
Pulmonary artery sarcomas are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Most patients are initially thought to have pulmonary emboli, and during embolectomy, a sarcoma is found. Given the significant morbidity and mortality of cardiac sarcomas, an aggressive strategy for resection is indicated, as this leads to benefits in disease-free and overall survival. Imaging tests and clinical signs and symptoms may assist in accurate preoperative determination of pulmonary artery sarcoma. We present an interesting case of a patient with pulmonary artery sarcoma who underwent successful re-resection, along with a brief discussion regarding preoperative imaging and the surgical ABSTRACT Behcet's disease is an autoimmune multisystemic disorder based on vasculitis. In this disease, the most important predictor of morbidity and mortality is the vascular complications. Appropriate surgical interventions are critical and must be planned strategically. Here, we will describe a very rare complication of the disease; spontaneous aortic pseudoaneurysm in a 33-year-old patient.
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1991
Two cases have been reported in which the use of 5 F angiographic catheters is associated with a failure to diagnose an ostial stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA). In both cases, the erroneous diagnosis led to an inappropriate indication for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on other stenosed vessels, and the ostial left main lesion was unexpectedly discovered when using 8F guiding catheters. It is supposed that the ability of preformed 5F catheters to pass easily through an ostial lesion makes detection of such proximal stenosis much more difficult. We suggest that the choice of 5F catheters must be approached with caution when left main disease is potentially expected from the clinical features.
