    Abstract A 52-year-old male with complaints of pain and cold sensation on left upper-extremity was admitted to a hospital. He was diagnosed with acute left brachial artery occlusion and accordingly underwent emergency thrombectomy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed an ascending aortic mural thrombus (AMT). After his transferring to our institution, the AMT was removed, and the ascending aorta was replaced under cardiac arrest. Based on histopathological findings, the thrombus was caused by the destruction of an atheromatous plaque. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence of AMT was presented for 12 months after operation.

    Abstract Electrocardiography abnormalities have been occasionally reported at the onset of stroke. Simultaneous electrocardiographic abnormalities and stroke require a rapid differentiated diagnosis among several diseases. However, direct causal relationships remain unclear. A 92-year-old woman presented to our emergency department in a sudden-onset coma. The patient suffered from huge acute ischemic stroke with bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion assessed by brain magnetic resonance imaging, and her electrocardiography showed ST-segment elevation at II, III, aVF and V4-6, and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the etiology of the medical condition was clinically unknown. Eventually, the patient died on day 4 of hospitalization before the diagnosis could be completed. Therefore, an autopsy was performed to investigate pathological findings after obtaining informed consent from the family. A postmortem pathological evaluation demonstrated that fibrin mural thrombi in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and the cerebral and coronary arteries possessed CD31-positive endothelial cells, and CD68-positive and CD168-positive macrophages in a similar fashion, suggesting the fibrin thrombi observed in the three sites implicated to be identical. We concluded that nearly concurrent cerebral and coronary artery embolism because of the fibrin thrombi in LAA developed by AF. Simultaneous cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are referred to as cardiocerebral infarction (CCI), a rare disorder for which clear pathomechanisms remain unknown, although several mechanisms of CCI have been proposed. We first revealed the clear pathology of CCI using the autopsy. Additional pathological studies are warranted to establish clear pathomechanisms and preventive strategies of CCI.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is often accompanied by pneumonia and can be fatal. We report a case of COVID-19-associated myocardial injury mimicking fulminant myocarditis. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed numerous von Willebrand factor-rich microthrombi with small myocardial necrotic areas, complement deposits in small vessels/microthrombi, and macrophage-predominant interstitial infiltration. These findings, distinct from those of typical lymphocytic myocarditis, show diffuse endothelial injury, complement activation, and activated macrophages as characteristic features of COVID-19-associated pathogenesis. Dysregulated serum cytokine profiles predicting severe/critical COVID-19-associated myocardial injury were also determined. This case emphasizes the occurrence of fatal cardiac manifestation with microthrombotic injury in the early stage of COVID-19.

    Abstract Objective: Surgical indications for low-grade carotid stenosis have not yet been established. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of low-grade carotid stenosis refractory to medical treatment.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 48 patients with symptomatic low-grade carotid stenosis (<50%). Recurrence was defined as an ipsilateral ischemic event in the symptomatic lesions during the follow-up period. Patient demographics and imaging findings were compared between the recurrence and nonrecurrence groups to investigate risk factors associated with medical treatment.
    Results: The mean age was 74.1 (58-90 years), and the mean follow-up period was 35.4 months (2.0-97 months). Recurrence occurred in 15 of the symptomatic patients. Ulceration was significantly associated with recurrence under medical treatment (P = 0.001). The median time to recurrence was 26.1 months in patients with ulcers and 54.3 months in those without ulcers (P = 0.04). Pathological study with recurrence showed plaque rupture with multilayered lesions, indicating lesions refractory to medical treatment.
    Conclusions: In cases of low-grade carotid stenosis, lesions with ulcerations are likely refractory to medical therapy. Consideration of the indications for surgical treatment may be warranted for lesions with ulceration, even if the degree of stenosis is low.

    Abstract Aims: Myocardial fibrosis of the left ventricle (LV) is a prognostic factor in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This study aims to evaluate whether fibrosis of right ventricular (RV) endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) can predict the degree of LV fibrosis beforehand in DCM.
    Methods and results: Fibrosis extent in 70 RV-EMB specimens of DCM diagnosis was compared with that in the whole cross-sectional LV of excised hearts in the same patients (52 explanted hearts for transplant and 18 autopsied hearts). The median interval between biopsy and excision was 4.1 (0.13-19.3) years. The fibrosis area ratio of the EMBs and excised hearts were evaluated via image analysis. The distribution of cardiovascular magnetic resonance-late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the intraventricular septum was classified into four quartile categories. The fibrosis area ratio in RV-EMB correlated significantly with that in the short-axis cut of the LV of excised hearts (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001) and with a diffuse pattern of LGE (r = 0.71, P = 0.003). In a multivariate model, after adjusting for the interval between biopsy performance and heart excision, the fibrosis area ratio in RV-EMB was associated with that in LV-excised heart (regression coefficient, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.95; P < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: The fibrosis observed in RV-EMB positively correlated with the extent of fibrosis in the LV of excised hearts in patients with DCM. The study findings may help predict LV fibrosis, considered a prognostic factor of DCM through relatively accessible biopsy techniques.

    Abstract We present a diagnostically challenging case of intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery (PA) due to the histologic finding of a sclerosing appearance with no appreciable spindle/pleomorphic cell proliferation. Initial endarterectomy specimens were composed of sclerosing extracellular matrix with a few bland cells, some recanalization, and fibrin thrombi, impeding the confirmation of intimal sarcoma as these findings were also consistent with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. However, the patient experienced recurrence 5 years later, and the second endarterectomy specimens revealed more firm and solid mass and the proliferation of atypical spindle/pleomorphic cells within a myxomatous matrix in the distal PA, leading to the definitive diagnosis of undifferentiated intimal sarcoma of the PA. The archival specimens from the endarterectomy confirmed intense MDM2 expression by immunohistochemistry, suggesting its role as a potential diagnostic marker for intimal sarcoma. This case highlights that prominent sclerosing extracellular matrix with very few atypical cells should raise the possibility of intimal sarcoma of the PA and that high index of suspicion, generous sampling, and ancillary tests are critical for accurate diagnosis. In this case, the tumor was incidentally removed by endarterectomy, resulting in 5 years of survival.
