  2. Initial Presentation • 58 y.o. male s/p AVR and ascending aortic aneurysm repair 10 months prior • 1-2 minute episode of facial/lingual numbness • Double vision • Slurred speech • No focal weakness, confusion, aura, seizure activity, headache, syncope, chest pain or dyspnea • Two similar episodes in the last 10 months

  3. Review of Systems • No recent medication changes • No recent illnesses • No recent trauma • No recent vision changes • Good performance status

  4. Past Medical History • H/O ascending aortic aneurysm leading to 4+ AI • S/P Bentall procedure with St. Jude's valve and Cabrol graft to LM (INR goal 2.5-3.5) • DDD pacemaker • Nonobstructive CAD (LM 50% by cath 10/00) • S/P Anterior MI, EF 50% • HTN • GERD • H/O esophageal stricture s/p dilation

  8. EKG: NSR with ventricular pacing at 72. T wave inversions in anterolateral leads which were unchanged from previous CT head: Negative Carotid dopplers: 16-49% stenosis of the ICA with irregular surface contour bilaterally CT angiogram: moderate stenosis of basilar artery TTE: Normal LV size and function. EF 65%. Septal hypokinesis c/w surgery. Valve function normal Contributing data

  9. Day 2 • Awoke with substernal CP • EKG was obtained………..

  10. EKG with ST depressions in II, III, AVF • Troponin <.03 X 2 • Fresh frozen plasma • Repeat echo showing hypokinetic inferior wall and EF of 40-45%

  11. Day 3 • Pain free, b/p 105/65, pulse 60-70 • Peak CTNT 0.44, CPK 279 • Cath: 50% LM, normal distal flow • TEE: no vegetation/clot, EF 50% • Stress echo:no evidence of cardiac ischemia

  12. Day 4 and 5 • Transferred to ICCU • No further pain • CKs resolved • Discharge medications: warfarin , ASA, atorvastatin, metoprolol, omeprazole • Follow up with Internist/Cardiology

  13. Two weeks later…. • Two hours of crushing substernal CP • Respiratory distress, profuse diaphoresis • Afebrile, B/P 88/60, 80, 30, 94% on RA • Lungs clear, JVP slightly elevated • EKG was obtained……….

  14. EKG: new left axis deviation and t wave inversions in the lateral leads • Troponin <.03, CK 146, INR 2.2 • All other labs normal • CXR unremarkable

  15. Management • IV nitro, metoprolol, MSO4 and heparin with some resolution of pain • TTE 35-40%. Eccentric titling of aortic valve. Hypokinetic lateral wall • Pt given FFP and emergently sent to the cath lab.

  16. Interventions • Cardiac cath showing showing occluded Cabrol limb to LM • IABP/Swan placed in the lab • Pt emergently taken to surgery • Off pump coronary bypass performed: LIMA to LAD

  17. POD #0-1 • Dopamine/Neo/Epi/Milrinone gtt • Pt remained intubated (PEEP of 7.5) • Tmax 38, HR 90’s, MAP 60’s • CVP 17, PA 58/30, CO/CI: 4.1/2.0 • BUN/Creat 15/1.1, good urine output • SVT amiodarone started • IAPB maintained at 1:1
