Abstract

Hemodynamically compromising left atrial (LA) compression by an aortic aneurysm is a rare entity. An 83-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of congestive heart failure was admitted with worsening shortness of breath (NYHA grade III) and palpitations. The electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation. The chest X-ray revealed widening of the mediastinum and congested lung fields. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated LA compression by a large descending thoracic aortic aneurysm. Left and right ventricle systolic functions were preserved. Thoracic three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging showed LA compression by a descending aortic aneurysm and an intramural hematoma. No intimal flap was seen in any part of the thoracic aorta. Emergency surgery was planned, but the patient did not accept surgery and suddenly died after four days of admission. Focal descending aortic aneurysm with an intramural hematoma in the aortic wall causing nearly complete obliteration of the LA cavity has not been reported before.

Özet

Aort anevrizmasının hemodinamik bozulmaya yol açacak derecede sol atriyuma bası yapması nadir görülen bir durumdur. Daha önce konjestif kalp yetersizliği tanısı olan 83 yaşında kadın hasta, giderek ağırlaşan solunum güçlüğü (NYHA derece III) ve çarpıntı yakınmalarıyla yatırıldı. Elektrokardiyografide atriyal fibrilasyon, göğüs grafisinde mediyastumda genişleme ve akciğer alanlarında göllenme izlendi. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide büyük bir inen torasik aort anevrizmasının sol atriyuma bası yaptığı görüldü. Sol ve sağ ventrikül sistolik fonksiyonları korunmuş bulundu. Üçboyutlu torasik manyetik rezonans görüntülemede, inen torasik aort anevrizmasının sol atriyuma basısı ile birlikte intramural hematom izlendi. Torasik aortta intimal flebe rastlanmadı. Acil cerrahi kararı verilen hasta ameliyatı kabul etmedi ve yatışın dördüncü gününde ani ölüm gelişti. Aort duvarında intramural hematomun eşlik ettiği ve sol atriyum boşluğunda tama yakın tıkanmaya yol açan fokal inen aort anevrizması daha önce bildirilmemiştir.
