Acute heart failure and significant aortic valve stenosis
Prof. Dr. W. Van Mieghem13-09-2008
A.F.
• 75 year old male patient• Antracosilicosis• Arterial hypertension• Type II diabetes mellitus• Cigarette smoker• Peripheral vascular disease with bypass surgery right
femoral artery and amputation first toe left foot
A.F.
• Coronary artery disease• Myocardial infarction 11/2002• CABG: critical main stem stenosis
stenosis RCA12/2002
• Degenerative aortic stenosis• Heart failure 5/2003• New onset angina pectoris 12/2007
Acute HF hospitalization 13/08/2008
• Raised jugular venous pressure
• Pulmonary oedema
• Aortic valve stenosis
Coronary arteriography
• LIMA -> LAD: normal function
• RIMA -> RCA: normal function
• SVG -> CX: normal function
Pulmonary function
• FVC 1,43 l= 40% normal value
• FEV1 1,41 l= 60% normal value
• R.V. 0,96 l= 38% normal value
• TLC 2,3 l= 41% normal value
Duplex carotid arteries
• 90% stenosis RCA
How to treat this patient?
Cardiac MRI
• The myocardium is thinned at the apical level with a diffuse delayed enhancement and moderately dyskinetic movement during the ventricular contraction
• Fibrotic and non-viable tissue
Proposed treatment
• Right carotid endarterectomie
• Aortic valve replacement
• Aneurysmectomie
Operation:
• Succesfull right carotid endarterectomie• Extremely difficult dissection because of extensive
pericardiac fibrosis with massive adhesions• Aortic valve replacement with bioprothesis• Aneurysmectomie not performed because of
technical difficulties• The postoperative cause was complicated with a
right sided pneumonia and the patient remained on the respirator for 30 days
• Patient is still mentally recovering
