coronary aneurysms

冠状动脉瘤
  • 文章类型: Case Reports
    一个59岁的女人,吸烟者,高血压,以前没有冠状动脉疾病史的患者有几次上腹痛发作,运动后心电图参考冠状动脉造影。它显示了广泛的冠状动脉钙化,左前降支(LAD)和右冠状动脉钙化动脉瘤(RCA),部分充满血栓。冠状动脉计算机断层扫描显示,近端LAD的动脉瘤囊状扩张完全与亚闭塞血栓形成,和近端RCA的梭形动脉瘤,部分血栓形成。患者被转介接受手术治疗。在我们的病人身上,动脉瘤的先天性病因不太可能,因为患者没有出现先天性心脏病或已知的遗传性疾病。在获得性动脉瘤中,最常见的原因是动脉粥样硬化。其他潜在原因是结缔组织疾病,创伤,感染,医源性,和川崎综合征.常见的并发症包括心肌缺血和梗塞,栓塞,破裂,成虫,和血栓形成(在我们的案例中清楚地表现出来)。目前关于冠状动脉瘤(CAA)管理策略的建议主要集中在小病例系列和基于动脉瘤的位置和形态,患者的特征,和临床表现。医学治疗策略包括抗血小板治疗或抗凝血剂。其他治疗选择是经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)和冠状动脉旁路移植术。在我们的案例中,心脏研究小组选择了手术治疗,原因是近端LAD未闭塞,并将稳定型心绞痛视为确诊.此外,CAA被放置在近端,有大量的血栓,因此,如果进行PCI,则与并发症的高风险有关。
    A 59-year-old woman, smoker, hypertensive, without a previous history of coronary artery disease referred several episodes of epigastric pain, after exercise electrocardiogram was referred to coronary angiography. It revealed extensive coronary calcification, with a suboccluded left anterior descending (LAD) and a calcified aneurysm of the right coronary artery (RCA), partially filled with thrombus. Coronary-computed tomography showed aneurysmal saccular dilatation of the proximal LAD entirely thrombosed with subocclusion, and a fusiform aneurysm in the proximal RCA, partially thrombosed. The patient was referred for surgical treatment. In our patient, congenital etiology of the aneurysms was unlikely, since the patient did not present congenital heart disease or known genetically inherited disorders. Among acquired aneurysms, the most common cause is represented by atherosclerosis. Other potential causes are connective tissue disorders, trauma, infections, iatrogenic, and Kawasaki syndrome. Usual complications include myocardial ischemia and infarction, embolism, rupture, fistulization, and thrombosis (clearly represented in our case). Current recommendations about management strategies of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are focused on small case series and based on aneurysm\'s location and morphology, patient\'s characteristics, and clinical presentation. Medical treatment strategies include antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulant. Other therapeutical options are percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft. In our case, the heart team opted for surgical treatment due to the subocclusion of the proximal LAD and considering stable angina as admitting diagnosis. Moreover, the CAAs were placed in proximal segments, with a large amount of thrombus, so related with high risk for complications if PCI was performed.

    川崎病是一种主要影响儿童的中小型血管的炎症性疾病。它会影响淋巴结,皮肤,粘膜,和心,尤其是冠状动脉.通常对缺乏经典川崎病(KD)的综合临床表现的患者进行不完全KD评估。这些患者具有持续发热并且缺乏一种或多种特征性临床体征。这里,我们介绍了一个16个月大的婴儿发烧九天,过度哭泣和烦躁四天,拒绝一天脸色苍白,嘴唇开裂,粘膜炎,双侧水肿,手掌和脚底发红,然后是甲周脱皮。实验室评估显示贫血,白细胞计数升高,和c反应蛋白沿着无菌性脓尿。由于孩子生病十天后变得发烧,炎症标志物水平下降,二维超声心动图没有检测到冠状动脉异常,根据临床诊断,孩子患有不完全KD,实验室,以及排除所有其他可能原因后的放射学评估。他接受了低剂量阿司匹林的保守治疗,孩子在两个月的随访中表现良好。
    Kawasaki illness is an inflammatory condition of small- to medium-sized vessels that primarily affects children. It affects the lymph nodes, skin, mucous membranes, and heart, especially the coronary arteries. Patients who lack the comprehensive clinical manifestations of classic Kawasaki disease (KD) are typically evaluated for incomplete KD. Such patients have persistent fever and lack one or more characteristic clinical signs. Here, we present a case of a 16-month-old baby presented with fever for nine days, excessive crying and irritability for four days, and refusal to feed for one day with pallor and developed lip cracking, mucositis, bilateral edema, and redness in the palms and soles followed by periungual desquamation. Lab evaluations revealed anemia, elevated white cell count, and c-reactive protein along sterile pyuria. Since the child became afebrile after ten days of illness, inflammatory marker levels decreased, and no coronary artery abnormalities were detected on 2D echocardiography, and the child was diagnosed with incomplete KD based on the clinical, laboratory, and radiological evaluations after ruling out all other possible causes. He was managed conservatively with low-dose aspirin, and the child was doing well on a two-month follow-up.

  • 文章类型: English Abstract
    Kawasaki disease was described in 1967 by Tomisu Kawasaki. It affects children aged between one and 5 years, and it evolves with fever and small vessel vasculitis, which leads to cardiovascular complications, including coronary aneurisms, myocarditis, valve injuries, pericardial effusion and myocardial infarction; eventually involving many others organs. The etiology actually is not well known, as the exactly pathogenic mechanisms; however, now there are important advances. If the clinical signs and symptoms are identify early and the children received treatment with aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin, the patients evolves without sequels. The Kawasaki disease is an infrequent disease in Mexico.
