REVIEW
Oscar M P Jolobe
This is a review of the underlying causes of the association of ST segment elevation and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia, in patients who do not have chest pain. The review was based on anecdotal reports in Googlescholar and Pubmed using the search terms, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, ST elevation, myocardial infarction, and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Those patients who did not have acute myocardial infarction as the cause of the association of ST segment elevation and gastrointestinal symptoms were compared with counterparts with similar symptoms who had well authenticated acute myocardial infarction or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy as the underlying cause of ST segment elevation...

RATIONALE: Visceral arterial pseudoaneurysms are rare but important vascular entities because of their inclination to cause life-threatening hemorrhage. They were commonly reported to be associated with trauma, infection, inflammatory disease, or occurred as postoperative complication. To date, there has been no published report of a superior mesenteric artery (SMA) branch pseudoaneurysm rupture mimicking acute pancreatitis in a patient with acute type B aortic dissection. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient's medical history, clinical information, imaging findings including follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA), and treatment are reported...

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition in which the inner layer of the aorta tears. Blood surges through the tear, causing the inner and middle layers of the aorta to separate (dissect). It is considered a medical emergency. We report a case of a healthy 56-year-old male who presented to the emergency room with sudden onset of epigastric pain radiating to his back. His blood pressure was 167/91 mmHg, equal in both arms. His lipase was elevated at 1258 U/L, and he was clinically diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (AP)...

INTRODUCTION: The adequate exposure of the upper abdominal aorta and its side branches are essential for vascular reconstruction of this region. Besides the traditional transperitoneal, retroperitoneal approach or thoracolaparotomy, left medial visceral rotation (MVR) is an option to explore this hardly accessible region. We present our MVR experiences in aortic surgery. METHODS: Using median or subcostal laparotomy we mobilised the left colon, the spleen, the pancreas and performed dissection in the retroperitoneal area leaving the left kidney in place...

Aortic dissection (AD) is the most common life-threatening disease involving the aorta. It is rarely associated with systemic disorders such as Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a genetic syndrome characterized by cystic degeneration of kidneys, possible presence of cysts in other organs and extra-renal manifestations, including cardiovascular disorders. We performed a systematic literature search focused on the occurrence of AD associated with ADPKD (25 cases identified), and reported two cases from our experience...

Pancreatic pseudocyst, a common complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis, can be an important differential diagnosis to aorta aneurism. A 46-year-old man under investigation for lung cancer presented with chest pain, dysphagia and dyspnoea. A chest X-ray showed opacity in the mediastinum opposite aorta. A computed tomography revealed a pseudocyst extending from the body of pancreas into the thorax. A mediastinal pseudocyst can cause symptoms due to compression or invasion of surrounding structures. The pseudocyst was successfully treated using endoscopic ultrasound guided transgastric drainage...

BACKGROUND: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening emergency. Patients with AAD who have abdominal pain are easily confused with patients with surgical acute abdomen. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of AAD. This study was undertaken to compare serum MMP-9 levels in patients with acute abdomen and those with AAD presenting as abdominal pain in the emergency department. METHODS: Blood samples were collected within 1 h and 24 h after admission to the emergency department...

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence, circumstances of occurrence and evolution of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC). METHODS: Retrospective chart study of gastrointestinal complications in 6.281 patients undergoing ECC between january 1994 and December 1997. RESULTS: Sixty patients developed 68 gastrointestinal complications (1%). Complications included: upper gastrointestinal bleeding (n = 23), intestinal ischemia (n = 19), cholecystitis (n = 7), pancreatitis (n = 6), and paralytic ileus (n = 16)...

The case of a patient who developed acute pancreatitis following resection of a ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is presented. During the first postoperative days the patient evolved satisfactorily except for specific abdominal symptoms. On the sixth day the patient suddenly presented tachycardia, hypotension, increase in abdominal distension and anemia for which emergency laparotomy was performed with signs of diffuse peritoneal steatonecrosis with an increase in the size and inflammation of the pancreas with necrotic and hemorrhagic zones being observed...

A 42-year-old male developed epigastric pain and elevation of serum amylase of 2045 U/L. A contrast-enhanced abdominal CT disclosed inflammatory changes involving the pancreas and peripancreatic tissues and findings indicative of aortic dissection. The possibility of aortic dissection should be considered in the management of patients with acute pancreatitis.
