Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms following confined cardiac wall rupture are among mechanical complications of an acute myocardial infarction (MI), particularly if the latter one remained untreated [1]. Currently in the developed countries, early diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) combined with reperfusion/revascularization therapies has led to the marked drop in prevalence of this complication [2]. Thus, they are considered as the rare adverse events following MI. Of note, their diagnosis might be difficult, relying mostly on the echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [3]. However, it is crucial for outcomes of these patients since false aneurysms (FA) have been prone to fatal rupture. Development of LVFA can lead to heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias and thrombolytic events [4]. We present the case of a patient with a large LV pseudoaneurysm that was disclosed incidentally during hospitalization for recurrent acute coronary syndrome. A 69-year-old male, with no previous medical history, presented with an acute chest pain. He was a heavy smoker, but with no other risk factors for the coronary artery disease (CAD). On admission, the electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrated sinus rhythm with the right bundle branch block (RBBB) and Q wave in inferior leads (II, III, AVF). The blood pressure was 115/80 mm Hg with the heart rate of 90 beats per minute and the oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 95%. Due to presence of clinical symptoms suggesting ACS combined with high serum troponin levels, the urgent coronary angiography was performed. Three-vessel disease with the subtotal stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and circumflex artery (Cx) with total occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA) was diagnosed. The transthoracic echocardiography revealed the LV aneurysm with maximum dimensions of 49 × 57 mm and an area of a mural thrombus (Figure 1 A), suggesting that it may be a pseudoaneurysm, LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly reduced (approximately 30%). Both LV and left atrium (LA) were enlarged (73 mm and 56 mm, respectively). Additionally, moderate mitral and mild tricuspid regurgitations were observed. The cardiac MRI confirmed the echocardiographic findings in terms of both diagnosis and dimensions (42 × 73 mm). Moreover, there was an area of the mural thrombus up to 35 mm (Figure 1 B). The patient was referred for an urgent surgery and admitted to the Department of Cardiac Surgery and Transplantology for combined aneurysmectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A standard median sternotomy was performed. After the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was harvested, the patient was connected to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (Figure 2).

Dear Editors, We gratefully thank the researcher Erkan Coben for his interest in and comment on our study [1] that was published in Polish Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. We would like to alleviate the anxiety of the author and therefore decided to answer his comment. Laboratory tests, including blood morphology, were performed in accordance with our institutional guidelines and regulations. Blood samples were collected at the admission of the patients into tubes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and analyzed with a routine hematology analyzer (Sysmex Europe GmbH, Norderstedt, Germany) within 30 minutes of sample collection as described in the article. Mean platelet volume (MPV) reflects platelet size and indicates changes in platelet production and activation [2]. Elevated MPV was described as a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients, severity of arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease. Moreover, it was associated with inflammation in malignant tumors and atherosclerosis [3]. MPV and other simple inflammatory markers obtained from whole blood count analysis are considered to be reliable prognostic markers in off-pump surgery [4]. The laboratory analysis of blood samples is a standard of care in current medicine. The study aimed to determine the relation between pre-operative and post-operative MPV and post-operative PCI risk in patients with complex coronary artery disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in off-pump technique. We concluded that MPV is a simple marker of PCI risk following OPCAB procedures. We assure the commentary author that he can confidently use MPV in his daily clinical assessment.","PeriodicalId":49945,"journal":{"name":"Kardiochirurgia I Torakochirurgia Polska","volume":"19 4","pages":"258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c0/e7/KITP-19-48522.PMC9809185.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10526847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
