Abstract

We report a 57-year-old lady who had been suffering from advanced heart failure for more than 3 years under maximal medical therapeutic treatment, and had left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD) due to exacerbation of her heart failure. She was New York Heart Association Class IV and Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support level I. She had HeartWare LVAD implantation and recovered well after the postoperative period. She was admitted to emergency department with headache, vertigo, neck and occipital pain in the postoperative 4th month. She could not have magnetic resonance imaging since she had cardioverter defibrillator implantation(CRT-D). Her kranial computerized tomography (CT) reported a small right thalamic infarct which was treated with medical therapy. Twenty days later after the first event, she was admitted to emergency unit with dysarthria, dysphasia, right paresthesia and truncal ataxia. She had CT angiography, and was reported as right vertebral artery dissection which is an uncommon cause of mild and significant trauma. Our patient could not have benefit from endovascular management since posterior inferior cerebellar artery supply would be affected, and possible infarct might occur. The only accepted medical therapy was management of possible ischemic stroke by anti-coagulation or by anti-platelet therapy. Our current case shows that the neurologic symptoms patients with LVAD may not be only due to pump thrombosis or malfunction of the LVAD. We report the first case in the literature with advanced heart failure supported with LVAD and diagnosed with extracranial right vertebral artery dissection.

Özet

Son 3 yıldan beri son dönem kalp yetmezliği tedavisi sebebiyle yüksek doz medikal tedavi alan, sol ventrikül destek sistemi (LVAD) implante edilen 57 yaşında bayan hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastanın son dönem kalp yetmezliğinin dekompanse olması sebebiyle New York Heart Association Klas IV ve Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support Seviye I idi. Hastaya HeartWare LVAD implantasyonu yapıldı ve operasyondan sonra hastada hızlı bir düzelme gözlendi. Hasta postoperatif 4. ayında acil servise baş ağrısı, baş dönmesi, oksipital bölgede ve boyunda ağrı şikayetiyle başvurdu. Hastanın daha önce implante edilen kalp pili sebebiyle hastaya manyetik resonans görüntülemesi yapılamadı. Hastanın bilgisayarlı beyin tomografi görüntülemesinde, sağ hemisferde talamik infarkt tespit edildi, medikal tedavi uygulandı. İlk nörolojik olaydan 20 gün sonra, hasta acil servise disarti, disfazi, sağ parestezi ve trunkal ataksi ile başvurdu. Hastanın çekilen bilgisayarlı beyin angiografisinde, orta ve ciddi travmaya bağlı olduğu düşünülen sağ vertebral arter diseksiyonu tespit edildi. Hasta, fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon amaçlı agresif boyun masajı yaptırdığını belirtti. Sağ vertebral artere endovasküler stent işlemi sonucunda posterior inferior serebellar arterin kan akımının etkileneceği ve infarkt gelişebileceği düşüncesiyle, hastanın endovasküler müdahaleye uygun olmadığına karar verildi. Sağ vertebral arter diseksiyonuna bağlı gelişebilecek iskemik felç durumunu önlemek için anti-koagulasyon ve anti-platelet tedavisine devam edildi. Sunduğumuz olguda, özellikle nörolojik semtoplarla başvuran LVAD hastalarında sadece pompa trombozu veya LVAD disfonksiyonundan şüphenilmemesi gerektiğini, ve ayırıcı tanı için ileri tetkikler yapılmasının gerekliliğini gösterdik. Bu hastayı son dönem kalp yetmezliğine bağlı sol ventrikül destek sistemi ile takip edilen ve ekstrakranial sağ vertebral arter diseksiyonu tanısı alan literatürdeki ilk olgu olarak sunuyoruz.
