Abstract

Background: Perforation of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft is a rare but severe complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Case summary: A 75-year-old Caucasian man with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and a history of SARS-CoV-2 presented with exertional dyspnoea. After CABG with a Y-graft anastomosis using the right internal mammary artery, he experienced severe chest pain. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a haemopericardium. A computed tomography scan identified a LIMA pseudoaneurysm in contact with the haemopericardium near the anterior and anterolateral left ventricle walls. Angiography confirmed the LIMA pseudoaneurysm and left anterior descending artery (LAD) graft occlusion. The LIMA pseudoaneurysm was treated with a covered stent, and the LAD was revascularized with rotational atherectomy and drug-eluting stent. At the three-year follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic, and the scan performed at the two-year mark indicated patent grafts with no signs of restenosis.

Discussion: This case illustrates the successful percutaneous management of a rare LIMA pseudoaneurysm, preventing high-risk reoperation. It also highlights the importance of multimodal imaging and interventional strategies in managing complex post-CABG complications.

经皮有效治疗冠状动脉搭桥术后亚急性左内乳动脉穿孔及假性动脉瘤1例。
背景:左乳内动脉(LIMA)移植穿孔是冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)中一种罕见但严重的并发症。病例总结:一名75岁的白人男性,患有高血压、糖尿病、血脂异常,并有SARS-CoV-2病史,表现为用力呼吸困难。在冠状动脉搭桥和右乳腺内动脉y型移植物吻合后,他经历了严重的胸痛。经胸超声心动图显示心包积血。计算机断层扫描发现与左心室前壁和前外侧心包血接触的LIMA假性动脉瘤。血管造影证实LIMA假性动脉瘤和左前降支(LAD)移植物闭塞。LIMA假性动脉瘤采用覆盖支架治疗,LAD采用旋转动脉粥样硬化切除术和药物洗脱支架重建血管。在三年的随访中,患者仍然无症状,两年的扫描显示移植物通畅,没有再狭窄的迹象。讨论:本病例成功地经皮处理了一例罕见的LIMA假性动脉瘤,避免了高风险的再手术。它还强调了多模式成像和介入策略在处理cabg后复杂并发症中的重要性。
