The abdominal transphrenic approach enabled us to repair a left lateral pericardial rupture on a polytrauma patient who also had a rupture of the spleen and a retroperitoneal hemorrhage. A pericardial exploration was necessary because of a sudden upper venous congestion syndrome during operation, suggestive of a cardiac tamponade.

Cardiovascular Surgery, IMS Katsushika Heart Center, Tokyo, JPN.
Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms are rare and life-threatening conditions caused by myocardial rupture contained by external tissues. Idiopathic cases, with no identifiable cause, are exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 45-year-old asymptomatic male with no significant medical or family history, in whom an incidental LV pseudoaneurysm was discovered during a routine health check.

Background: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are a rare congenital heart disease. Large fistulas can lead to coronary steal phenomena presenting with angina, heart failure, and in rare cases, cardiogenic shock.
Case Summary: A 55-year-old woman acutely presented at our heart center with nonhemorrhagic pericardial tamponade and cardiogenic shock.

Infective endocarditis used to frequently cause mortality in subjects having PDA before the advent of antibiotics and surgical ligation. It has been documented that clinically silent PDAs may cause infective complications of heart valves. We present case of an 18-years-old male who presented with palpitations and fever to our emergency department.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms are considered more dangerous than abdominal aneurysms because they are often silent until rupture and, therefore, are more challenging to diagnose and have a high mortality rate. In addition, a thoracic aneurysm differs from an abdominal one in terms of causes and risk factors: the former is associated with the degeneration of the vessel's middle tunica, while the latter is related to atherosclerosis. We report the case of the sudden death of a 20-year-old man, with no apparent risk factors and suffering only from a persistent cough for a month, in whom the autopsy revealed the rupture of a massive aneurysm of the ascending thoracic aorta.

Rationale: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva (PSV) is a rare but life-threatening condition, often resulting from blunt chest trauma. Rapid progress and a high risk of rupture highlight the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. We present a case of a rare pseudoaneurysm linked to the right coronary sinus after blunt chest trauma.
