  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]

• Splinter Hemorrhage

  Splinter hemorrhages or Osler's nodes were absent. [najms.org]

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]

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]
