- Partial Papillary Muscle Rupture after Myocardial Infarction and Early Severe Obstructive Bioprosthetic Valve Thrombosis: an Unusual CombinationPublication . Silveira, I.; Oliveira, M.; Gomes, C.; Cabral, S.; Luz, A.; Torres, S.Mechanical complications after myocardial infarction (MI) have become uncommon since the introduction of primary angioplasty. They can lead to a rapid clinical deterioration and a fatal outcome, with patient’s survival being dependent on their prompt recognition and intervention. We describe a case of two rare mechanical complications: a partial papillary muscle rupture after MI, followed by an early severe obstructive thrombosis of the implanted bioprosthetic valve.

- Successful management of Listeria monocytogenes pericarditis: case report and review of the literature.Publication . Dias, V.; Cabral, S.; Anjo, D.; Vieira, M.; Antunes, N.; Carvalheiras, G.; Gomes, C.; Meireles, A.; Mendonça, T.; Torres, S.Listeria monocytogenes, although an uncommon cause of illness in the general population, is feared principally because of the morbidity and mortality associated with CNS infections. Cardiovascular involvement with L. monocytogenes is very rare, and has been limited to endocarditis. We describe a case of Listeria pericarditis, which occurred in a 60-year-old man with Child-Pugh B cirrhosis who presented to the emergency department with asthenia, anorexia, and respiratory distress. The echocardiogram showed severe pericardial effusion and after pericardiocentesis, L. monocytogenes was isolated in the culture of pericardial fluid. After surgical pericardiectomy with draining of the pericardial effusion and antibiotic treatment with ampicillin, the patient experienced a slow, but full recovery. Documentation of L. monocytogenes pericarditis is an extremely rare entity with very scarce reports in medical literature, and is usually associated with a very poor prognosis. A case report is presented together with a review of the literature.
