Coronary Artery Embolism

Coronary Embolism

Within a week the patient re-presented with chest pain and troponin I of 38. Her INR on presentation was 3.2. On TTE, the MV mass had disappeared except for a residual stump (Panel B). [academic.oup.com]

Case Presentation: Our patient is a 69 years old Caucasian female with history of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes type 2 complicated with ESRD on hemodialysis, and hypothyroidism. Patient presented with symptoms of unstable angina. [shmabstracts.com]

We present a case of an 87-year-old female patient who suffered ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction at the same time and received intracranial and coronary thrombectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Intermittent Fever

    Case Report A 69-year-old male presented to the Mount Sinai Saint Luke's Emergency Department with intermittent fever and increased urinary frequency for 1 week. [najms.org]

  • Odynophagia

    • A 35-year-old male patient was admitted because of dysphagia and odynophagia • A chest X-ray showed multiple cavitary lesions in both lungs and a CT- guided lung biopsy was requested for histopathological diagnosis. 22. [slideshare.net]

  • Heart Disease

    Subsequent chapters cover the effects of estrogens on the stages of atherogenesis, actions of estrogens on the on the vascular wall and on cardiovascular metabolic pathways, causes leading to the development of early onset of coronary heart disease in [books.google.com]

    heart disease, two patients had mitral valve stenosis, and one patient had post-mitral valve replacement. [jtd.amegroups.com]

    He underwent mitral valve replacement with a Medtronic valve (27mm) in June 2002 for severe mitral stenosis and regurgitation due to rheumatic heart disease. [jpma.org.pk]

    Such cases should be handled at experienced centers with interventional cardiologists and/or structural heart disease specialist. [cureus.com]

    Underlying diseases predisposing to coronary emboli included valvular heart disease (40%), myocardiopathy (29%), coronary atherosclerosis (16%), and chronic atrial fibrillation (24%). Mural thrombi were present in 18 (33%). [annals.org]

  • Ejection Murmur

    The physical exam revealed a grade II/VI systolic ejection murmur over the aortic valve area. [hindawi.com]

  • Chest Pain Radiating to the Left Arm

    Case report A 69-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and persistent AF previously treated with clopidogrel 75 mg, presented complaining of chest pain radiating to the left arm and shoulder, which started [hippokratia.gr]

As coronary emboli are a rarely reported phenomenon, no randomized trials or guidelines exist regarding diagnostic workup for these, although it would not be unreasonable to initiate workup for thrombophilia whenever appropriate diagnosis or suspicion [intechopen.com]

  • Cavitary Lesion

    • A 35-year-old male patient was admitted because of dysphagia and odynophagia • A chest X-ray showed multiple cavitary lesions in both lungs and a CT- guided lung biopsy was requested for histopathological diagnosis. 22. [slideshare.net]

We report the case of a 51-year-old woman receiving endobronchial treatment with neodymium:yttrium garnet laser After 30 minutes of stable anaesthesia and laser treatment, sudden inferior myocardial ischaemia developed followed by haemodynamic collapse [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Its prevalence, clinical features, and prognosis remain insufficiently characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: We screened 1776 consecutive patients who presented with de novo acute myocardial infarction between 2001 and 2013. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Identifying these causes is important, Popovic explained, because this raises the possibility of using “effective therapies that otherwise may not have been considered and that may affect prognosis.” [tctmd.com]

Percutaneous embolectomy has also been attempted in the past. [11] Continuous daily antiplatelet therapy before hospitalization for IE has shown to decrease embolic events. [12] Good prognosis can be achieved with surgery in patients with native valve [najms.org]

The presumed etiology of thromboembolism was idiopathic cardiomyopathy. A unique method of treatment with Fogarty catheter retrieval was used. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Of these, atrial fibrillation is thought to be the most common etiology of coronary emboli, though there are few cases reported in the literature. [hindawi.com]

Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with a history of atrial flutter and recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds (GIBs) with no clear etiology identified presented for planned direct current synchronized cardioversion. [shmabstracts.com]

An association with infectious etiology may be present as well in this context [32]. 5. [intechopen.com]

In summary, coronary embolism secondary to prosthetic valve is an uncommon etiology of myocardial infarction. [jpma.org.pk]

Angiographic appearance (localized filling defect on coronary angiography) combined with her past history of undertreated AF was highly suggestive of coronary artery embolus related to AF as the underline pathophysiology of STEMI. [hippokratia.gr]
