Acute heart failure and significant aortic valve stenosis Prof. Dr. W. Van Mieghem 13-09-2008
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 RCA 12/2002 • 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
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
