- ItemAnterior myocardial infarction with coronary thrombus formation secondary to acute coronary vasospasm: A case report(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1986-11) Przybojewski, J. Z.; Vogts, B. C.; Myburgh, D. P.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An acute myocardial infarction in a young man when there was no fixed atherosclerotic lesion in the coronary arteries is reported. Soon after the myocardial infarction the patient was shown to have thrombosis in the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery but this later disappeared. In view of recurrent angina pectoris, provocation tests were undertaken with ergometrine maleate, cold pressor and hyperventilation. Both the drug and the hyperventilation provoked coronary spasm accompanied by angina pectoris but no EGG evidence of ischaemia.
- ItemMitral stenosis with free-floating left atrial thrombus and recurrent systemic embolisation: A case report(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1987-02) Przybojewski, J. Z.; Vogts, B. C.; Hunter, J.; Knott-Craig C. J.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A 64-year-old white woman with moderately severe rheumatic mitral stenosis complicated by atrial fibrillation and recurrent systemic embolisation to the brain was found at operation to have a large 'free-floating' left atrial thrombus, as well as multiple left atrial appendage thrombi. These had not been detected by echocardiography. She also had significantly reduced left ventricular contractility on cine angiography, and right coronary artery atherosclerosis. She underwent successful mitral valve replacement and excision of the left atrial appendage.
