Article Synopsis
- Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interatrial Septum (LHIS) is a benign condition marked by fat buildup in the heart's interatrial septum, often found incidentally during echocardiograms.
- The condition can lead to various heart rhythm issues and is more common in older, obese individuals, particularly women.
- A case study of a 73-year-old obese woman showed typical LHIS findings on echocardiography, leading to a conservative management approach after complications arose during a planned heart procedure.
A serious long-term complication of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is the occurrence of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) beyond 1 year after implantation. While VLST has been observed as late as 1 year following the initial procedure, it remains unknown whether DES thrombosis is a finite phenomenon that abates over time or is a risk that persists indefinitely. Very late stent thrombosis is an infrequent yet potentially fatal complication associated with drug-eluting stents.
