Abstract

A 61-year-old woman was admitted to the department of neurology in our hospital. She had a stroke (left hemiparesis) without any sequela. The blood pressure was 130/80 mmHg with irregular pulse rate of 107/min. A diastolic rumbling was audible over the apex. She had Transtorasic Echocardiography for search source of emboli. TTE revealed mitral valve stenosis (0,9 cm2) with a peak gradient of 15 mmHg and a mean gradient of 7 mmHg across the valve. TEE disclosed the presence a giant thrombus in the left atrial appendage. Mitral valve surgery was suggested to the patient. At operation, atrial thrombectomy and radiofrequency ablation commenced prior to valvular procedure. Then the calcified valve leaflets were excised and replaced with 29 mm bileaflet mechanical mitral valve prosthesis. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and discharged to home. In conclusion, left atrial thrombosis due to rheumatismal mitral valve disease should be kept in mind in patients with neurological deficit and atrial fibrillation.

Özet

Altmış bir yaşında bir bayan hasta sol kol ve bacakta hareketsizlik yakınmalarıyla hastanemizin Nöroloji bölümüne kabul edildi. Hastanın fizik muayenesinde nabız aritmik taşikardik (107/dak) tansiyon arteriyel 130/80 mmHg idi. Dinlemekle apekste diastolik üfürüm duyuluyordu. Hastaya emboli kaynağının araştırılması için Transtorasik ekokardiyografi yapıldı. Transtorasik ekokardiografide ciddi mitral darlığı (0,9 cm2), mitral kapak üzerinde maksimumu 15 mmHg ortalama 7 mmHg gradient, TEE da sol atriyal apendajı dolduran 2.3x3,8 cm boyutlarında trombüs saptandı. Hastaya mitral kapak cerrahisi önerildi. Operasyon esnasında, önce atriyal trombektomi yapılarak, radyofrekans ablasyon uygulandı. Daha sonra kalsifiye kapak leafletleri rezeke edilerek 29 mm bileaflet mekanik kapakla mitral kapak replasmanı yapıldı. Postoperatif dönem olaysız geçti ve salah ile taburcu edildi. Sonuç olarak üzere nörolojik defisiti ve atriyal fibrilasyonu olan olgularda romatizmal kapak hastalığına bağlı trombüs olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
