    You are working in the internal medicine clinic of a large teaching hospital. Today your first patient is 70-year-old J.M, a man who has been coming to the clinic for several years for management of CAD and HTN. A cardiac catheterization done a year ago showed 50% stenosis of the circumflex coronary artery. He has had episodes of dizziness for the past 6 months and orthostatic hypotension, shoulder discomfort, and decreased exercise tolerance for the past 2 months. On his last clinic visit 3 weeks ago, a CXR showed cardiomegaly and a 12-lead ECG showed sinus tachycardia with left bundle branch block. You review his morning blood work and initial assessment.…

    PROCEDURE: The right groin was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. Seldinger technique was used, and a 6-French sheath was placed in the right femoral artery. A local anesthetic was used and sublingual nitroglycerin was given; no heparin was used. The left and right coronary arteries were selectively opacified in the LAO and RAO projections using manual injections of Optiray. A ventriculogram was done in the RAO projection with the use of a 6-French pigtail catheter. The catheters were then withdrawn, the sheath was removed and VasoSeal applied, and the patient was sent to her room in good condition without complications. PRESSURES: Aorta 117/63, LV 110/2-6…

    Imma Case Study

    A sternal retractor was used and IMA was harvested and clamped with bulldog. The pericardium was continued to incise and pericardial edges was retracted with sutures to enhance exposure of the heart. The surgeon then identified the affected coronary artery, and coronary anastomotic site stabilizer was then used to reduce the movement of the beating heart and isolate the target coronary artery site for anastomosis (Fig.3). A fine mist of humidified CO2 gas was sprayed over the anastomotic site to clear the bleeding. Vessel loops, or silastic shunts was used to control bleeding. The distal anastomosis of the IMA with coronary artery was then performed side to side anastomoses with fine cardiovascular suture. Since IMA remained attached to the subclavian artery, no proximal aortic anastomosis required (Behny, 2006); the blood flow is restored as soon as the IMA anastomosis is established. If saphenous vein free graft was used during the off pump CABG, the distal end of the vein graft will be performed anastomosis first with the coronary artery, and then the other end of the vein graft will be sewn to the aorta either with the sutureless anastomosis device (Calafiore, et al., 2001) or hand sutured to aorta with the help of Hegar dilator loaded with the saphenous vein (Dikmengil, Ozeren, Aytacoglu, & Sucu, 2005) to minimize manipulation of the aorta . A drain will be…

You should be able to view the left atrioventricular valve (bicuspid), the right antrioventricular valve (tricuspid), the aortic valve, and the pulmonary valve. The aortic valve will be just superior to the pulmonary valve and both are smaller in size compared to the left and right AV valves. The aortic valve is where the aorta…

    EKG was obtained immediately on Ms. [Name]'s arrival. It shows her to be in a sinus tachycardia with a rate of 130 beats per minute. She has a right axis. She has evidence of a right bundle branch block. This EKG was repeated and verified to be the same. On comparison with old EKG's, there is no change. However, her most recent EKG from November 9, shows the patient to be in a normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 55 beats per minute. At that time she had a left axis deviation. However, her previous EKG's in the emergency department all show this right axis, so there is no significant abnormality that is new in the EKG today.…

    Patients who will experience little benefit from coronary revascularization are also excluded. CABG is performed in elderly patients for symptomatic relief. However, although age is not a contraindication, CABG is less commonly performed in this group of patients. Because elderly patients have a shorter life expectancy, CABG may not necessarily prolong survival. These patients are also more likely to experience perioperative complications after CABG (2).…

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42 year old from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the resent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for TB in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for TB was adequate or whether there is another cause for his hemoptysis. The duration of his TB treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But no records are available. In addition, the patient had thrombosis of the auxiliary artery treated last year at Hill Crest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. Nonetheless, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of TB has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patients wife Nepor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindu language.…
