Some types of HIT can persist after heparin discontinuation. Case summary A 95-year-old woman was referred to the cardiology from orthopaedics because of acute limb ischaemia (ALI) 1 day after surgery of a femoral neck fracture. Despite thrombectomy, ALI relapsed the next day. She had been treated with intravenous antibiotics with a diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia for 1 week until 3 days before surgery, together with heparin flush twice a day. Of note, no intra-/post-operative heparin was administered, no cell salvage device, central venous, nor arterial catheters were used before development of ALI. The patient and her family refused reattempting invasive therapies; consequently, the patient continued to worsen and died on post-operative day 3. Diagnosis of autoimmune HIT, which was prompted by surgery without re-exposure to heparin, was confirmed posthumously. Discussion This case emphasizes the significance of suspecting autoimmune HIT in any patient presenting with thrombosis, even if the heparin exposure dates back more than a few days or even without heparin exposure. © The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.Background Primary cardiac tumours are rare in children. Against this backdrop, Doppler echocardiogram is the main diagnostic procedure, while electrocardiogram (ECG) usually plays a secondary role, by detecting tumoural consequences as cardiac arrhythmias and chambers overload. We describe a case where an electrocardiographic sign was the cornerstone to diagnosis and surveillance of an infant with a cardiac rhabdomyoma. Case summary A female infant was referred for cardiac evaluation to elucidate an electrocardiographic abnormality, detected during investigation of seizures. She had recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and was under three different anticonvulsants for appropriate control. Cardiovascular symptoms were absent. Skin inspection revealed hypochromic macules. Respiratory and cardiovascular examinations were normal, as well as laboratorial tests and chest radiography. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed dome-shaped ST-segment elevation in V2 and V3. Transthoracic echocardiogram unveiled a single hyper-echogenic node (0.4 cm2) in the interventricular septum. Cardiac chambers had normal size and function and Doppler analysis was also normal. No specific medication was used to treat the tumour. During follow-up, she remained free of cardiac symptoms. Eighteen months after her first visit to the cardiologist, routine clinical assessment, ECG, and transthoracic Doppler echocardiogram normal results stated the spontaneous and complete involution of the tumoural lesion. Discussion Convex ST-segment elevation, generally related to myocardial injury, is unusual in paediatric patients. Once it occurs in asymptomatic individuals within this age bracket, exclusion of cardiac tumours is mandatory. However, data regarding the accuracy of such electrocardiographic marker in this clinical setting are still to be defined. © The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.Background Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is a congenital disease characterized by vascular malformations, such as arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). It frequently presents with overgrowth of a lower limb and high-output heart failure. The main treatment is to close vascular malformations. Surgical excision or endovascular coil insertion was performed in a few patients with AVFs. However, vascular covered stent implantation has not been used for treating PWS. Case summary A 15-year-old male patient with PWS presented to our hospital because of dyspnoea and massive left upper limb swelling. After initial examination and left upper limb angiography, his symptoms and findings were attributed to the presence of high-flow large AVFs despite the presence of many coils previously inserted. We decided to implant a covered stent along the AVFs between the subclavian and axillary arteries. After stent implantation, the patient's complaints and findings improved during the early term but they relapsed at the 6th month after percutaneous intervention. Discussion Here, we report for the first time the use of covered stent implantation and its short and 6 months results in a patient with PWS. Although initial improvements were noted, the clinical outcome at 6 months after stent implantation was poor. This was probably associated with the presence of widespread subtle AVFs or collateral connections among the existing AVFs. Based on our result, we propose that closure of large AVFs is not useful and more definitive interventions, such as limb amputation may be required earlier. © The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.Background Radial access for lower-extremity peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) has been limited due to inadequate equipment lengths. The Terumo R2P Destination Slender sheath is a relatively new sheath designed for these interventions. However, complications related to this sheath or access strategy for lower-extremity PVI have not been reported. Case summary A 69-year-old woman presented with purple discolouration of her 1st and 5th toes of the left foot for approximately 1 month. Lower-extremity arterial duplex ultrasound showed mid left superficial femoral artery (SFA) greater than 90% stenosis. Peripheral angiogram was performed via the left radial artery and this confirmed the presence of severe left SFA stenosis. Intra-arterial vasodilators including verapamil and nitroglycerine were administered to prevent radial artery spasm. Next, we attempted to deliver the Terumo 6-Fr R2P Destination Slender 119 cm sheath for the interventional procedure. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Decitabine.html However, the sheath became stuck at the level of mid axillary artery due to severe radial artery spasm.
