Thrombus on Mitral Annular Calcification: A Systematic Review of Management and Outcomes.
CJC Open
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common chronic degenerative process of the mitral valve. Thrombus formation on MAC is a rare complication that likely contributes to the increased risk of thromboembolic events. Outcomes and management strategies for this condition are unknown.

This review examines the differences and similarities between the European and American guidelines concerning the use of imaging in the diagnosis and management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and aortic disease. PAD and aortic conditions contribute significantly to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; yet, they are often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Imaging plays a critical role in addressing this gap, with the European Society of Cardiology and American Cardiac Society offering different approaches to diagnostic and interventional imaging modalities.

November 2024
Department of Pathology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China.
Article Synopsis
- * A patient experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath and chest tightness underwent imaging that revealed multiple tumors on the mitral valve, confirmed as diffuse myxoma through histological analysis.
- * Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography played a crucial role in accurately assessing the mitral valve tumors, aiding in clinical decision-making regarding the patient's treatment.
Perioperative Management of Atrial Fibrillation In a Geriatric Neurosurgical Patient With Acute Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- * Mannitol, a common treatment used to lower brain pressure in SAH patients, may also worsen heart function and arrhythmias in older individuals with weaker hearts.
- * This case report emphasizes the effective management of atrial fibrillation during surgery by using goal-directed fluid therapy and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), showing how it can lead to better patient outcomes despite the challenges posed by mannitol.
Successful recovery of vision following intravenous thrombolysis using low-dose alteplase in central retinal artery occlusion.

Department of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, University of Tsukuba Hospital, 2-1-1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8576, Japan; Department of Neurosurgery, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tenno-dai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8575, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a serious eye condition that can lead to sudden vision loss, often with low chances of recovery, as highlighted in a case of a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with non-arteritic CRAO.
- The patient received a lower-than-standard dose of intravenous rt-PA treatment shortly after the onset of her symptoms, which resulted in significant improvement of her vision and revealed a serious underlying heart condition, a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
- This case suggests that using a lower dose of tPA may be effective for treating CRAO while reducing bleeding risks, and highlights the need for thorough investigations of potential cardiac issues in younger patients with CRAO.
