RESUMEN
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PsA) is a rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of cardiac arrhythmias. Presentation can vary widely in terms of timeline, signs, and symptoms. Idioventricular rhythm is a rare presentation of PsA post-ablation. No cases of post-ablation PsA presenting with idioventricular rhythm have been reported in the literature to date. A 72-year-old male presented with symptomatic idioventricular rhythm 34 days post RFA for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). A PsA involving the distal anterolateral of his left ventricle wall was identified on transthoracic echo and computed tomography (CT). This patient underwent surgical patch repair which resolved his ventricular arrhythmia.
RESUMEN
Page kidney is a rare cause of hypertension and kidney injury; it results from extrinsic compression of the kidney due to fluid accumulation in the subcapsular space. Hypertensive crisis may be the only presenting clinical sign in patients with Page kidney. Urinomas are a very rare cause of Page kidney with very few cases reported in the literature. Urinoma should be suspected in patients presenting in hypertensive crisis who have a history of recent abdominal trauma, genitourinary malignancy, and renal instrumentation. Patients diagnosed with Page kidney from a urinoma should be managed with the least invasive means possible.
RESUMEN
Cardiac tamponade is a rare manifestation of relapsing extramedullary multiple myeloma and portends poor prognosis. No cases of cardiac tamponade with co-occurring renal obstruction from plasmacytoma have been reported in the literature, making this case a unique presentation of relapsing multiple myeloma. The presence of known malignancy should not limit our differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with signs of cardiac tamponade.
