An Unusual Cause of Coronary Occlusion During an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Reperfusion With Diagnostic Angiography Only
We present a unique case of a type I peri-operative myocardial infarction during an extensive abdominal aortic aneurysm repair occurring due to the occlusion of a severe stable ostial plaque stenosis by a small overlying thrombus. During coronary angiography, the thrombus was dislodged by the diagnostic catheter which restored normal flow without stent placement. We demonstrate a care approach that was carefully arrived upon through multidisciplinary management with vascular surgery and anesthesiology colleagues
Myocardial infarction following successful coronary angioplasty is not due to incomplete revascularization
Arterial vasodilators have more beneficial effects on left ventricular afterload than apparent from measurements of cuff blood pressure
Echocardiographic assessment of wall motion in ST-segment alternans during coronary angioplasty
ST alternans occurs in the setting of severe and extensive myocardial ischemia. In this particular case, ST alternans occurred well after the onset of ischemia-induced left ventricular dysfunction. There is no echocardiographic evidence of beat-to-beat variation in contractility to correspond to this ST-segment phenomenon. Further studies of left ventricular function during ST alternans in patients are needed to determine whether this finding applies to all patients with ischemic heart disease
