Massive Central Pulmonary Embolism with Riding Embolus and Concomitant Aortic Arch Embolism-Should We Diagnose Patients Earlier for Blood Clotting Disorders? Case Report.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
January 2025
Emergency Department, Leszek Giec Upper-Silesian Medical Centre of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-635 Katowice, Poland.
Paradoxical embolism occurs when a clot originates in the venous system and traverses through a pulmonary or intracardiac shunt into the systemic circulation, with a mortality rate of around 18%. The risk factors for arterial embolism and venous thrombosis are similar, but different disease entities can lead to a hypercoagulable state of the blood, including antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency. We report the case of a 43-year-old man with a massive central pulmonary embolism with a rider embolus and concomitant aortic arch embolism with involvement of the brachiocephalic trunk, bilateral subclavian and axillary arteries, and the right vertebral artery, followed by a secondary ischaemic stroke.

This case report describes a rare instance of massive right ventricular myxoma (RVM). A 36-year-old woman initially presented with progressive breathlessness and chest heaviness. Imaging revealed a large mass in the mediastinum, which was initially thought to be a pericardial cyst, and it was unclear whether the mass was intracardiac or extracardiac.

Introduction And Importance: This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing pulmonary embolism and the need for careful timing of preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram in patients with potentially detachable intracardiac masses as a tumor detachment during TEE led to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old man with a history of treated pulmonary embolism had progressive dyspnea. Tests revealed a mass in the right atrium and a new pulmonary embolism.
Phenotype of severe tricuspid regurgitation induced by intracardiac pacing devices.

Instituto Cardiovascular, Hospital Clínico San Carlos, Madrid, España.
Introduction And Aims: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) induced by the implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is an increasingly common cause of severe TR. Our aim was to describe the echocardiographic phenotypic characteristics of CIED-induced severe TR.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study that included patients with severe TR related to CIED diagnosed in the cardiac imaging unit of a Spanish tertiary hospital.
GLIDE Score: Scoring System for Prediction of Procedural Success in Tricuspid Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

Background: Tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is the most widely used transcatheter therapy to treat patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a simple anatomical score to predict procedural outcomes of T-TEER.
Methods: All patients (n = 168) who underwent T-TEER between January 2017 and November 2022 at 2 centers were included in the derivation cohort.
