Type A Aortic Dissection

Abstract Background Type A aortic dissection is an emergency with high morbidity and mortality when surgery is not performed. Few cases are described in the literature about aortic dissection during pregnancy. A correlation between pregnancy and aortic dissection is mainly reported in patients with family history and connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan’s syndrome (MS), Loeys–Dietz’s syndrome, and Ehlers–Danlos’s syndromes, and patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV); exceptional cases are also described in patients without risk factors. Case presentation A 22-year-old young woman with MS, ascending aorta dilation, and BAV became pregnant. During labor, she experienced a short-term chest pain with spontaneous resolution. The electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac biomarkers were negative for acute coronary artery disease, but no transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was performed. A caesarean section was performed without complications. After 1 month, a routine TTE showed a chronic ascending aortic dissection involving the aortic arch and supra-aortic vessels. Due to a normally functioning aortic valve, the David operation was performed (sparing aortic valve) with the replacement of the aortic arch and supra-aortic vessels. Conclusions Aortic dissection is a rare cardiovascular complication that can occur during pregnancy and is associated with very high-risk mortality. We have reported a rare case of undiagnosed type A aortic dissection involving the aortic arch during unplanned pregnancy in patients with BAV and MS, subsequently treated with the David surgery and replacement of ascending aortic arch and supra-aortic vessels. A closer clinical and instrumental follow-up is necessary in this particular group of patients at risk. Awareness of all physicians involved is mandatory.

Bovine Arch

A 24-year-old man presented with rapidly progressive dyspnea due to mixed aortic stenosis and insufficiency. Unicommissural unicuspid aortic valve, ascending aortic aneurysm, and a bovine arch were identified on computed tomography angiography. Uncomplicated surgical mechanical valve replacement and ascending aortic graft placement improved his symptoms. Aortopathy is common in unicuspid valve patients.

AbstractStreptococcus pneumoniae is an uncommon cause of infective endocarditis; it often requires prolonged antibacterial treatment and involves a high mortality rate. We report a rare case of pneumococcal endocarditis manifesting with unusual complications — meningitis and endophthalmitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae species grew from the cerebrospinal fluid. The diagnosis of native aortic valve infective endocarditis was confirmed after some delay by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient’s eye was lost because of infective complications, but his life was saved following an aggressive antibacterial therapy in combination with an immediate aortic valve replacement.

Native Aortic Valve

In case of valvular infective endocarditis, the infection is mainly localized on the flow side of the valves or at damaged valvular endothelium. We describe a rare case of an aortic valvular inefctive endocarditis with an aortic-valve vegetation situated on the aortic side of the valve. We believe this is the first description of this unusual localization of vegetations in a native aortic valve.

Currently, transcatheter aortic valve replacements within degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valves (valve in valve) are increasing in frequency with studies supporting their safety and efficacy. We present the rare case of a patient requiring a second transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve placed within a previously placed degenerated transcatheter aortic valve, which was implanted in a degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve. The procedure was performed using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass with TandemLife for hemodynamic support.
