Retrograde Luftembolie bei Arrosionsaneurysma der Arteria pulmonalis
1956
Es wird uber ein Arrosionsaneurysma der A. pulmonalis berichtet, nach dessen Ruptur in einen Bronchus hinein es zu einer todlichen Luftembolie kam. Das Zustandekommen einer derartigen “retrograden” Luftembolie wird durch zwei, in ihrem Mechanismus verschiedene, aufeinanderfolgende Abschnitte erklart: Zuerst werden kleinere Luftmengen zu Beginn der Inspiration in die Lungenarterie eingesaugt, solange, bis die Pulmonalklappen schlusunfahig werden. Dann erst kommt es in einer zweiten Phase beim Husten und Wurgen zu einem aktiven Einpressen groserer Luftmengen in das rechte Herz.
�ber das Syndrom des prim�ren Hyperaldosteronismus bei Nierenarteriendrosselung
1963
1. Die potentiellen Schwierigkeiten einer differentialdiagnostischen Trennung zwischen primarem und sekundarem Hyperaldosteronismus werden besprochen.
Reperfusionsschock nach okklusion der A. mesenterica superior und akkumulation von leukozyten innerhalb der d�nndarmwand
1996
Der Epithelschaden und die Leukozytenakkumulation in der Wand des Ileums nach Ischamie und Reperfusion wurden experimentell am Schwein untersucht. Die A. mesenterica superior wurde fur 1 h (Gruppe 2; n=9), 2 h (Gruppe 3; n=6) und 3 h (Gruppe 4; n=7) abgeklemmt und 2 h reperfundiert. Die histologische Beurteilung erfolgte an Hamatoxylin-Eosin- und NaphtolAS-D-Chlorazetatesterase-gefarbten Praparaten. Es entwickelte sich ein Reperfusionsschock in Abhangigkeit von der Ischamiedauer. Nach lstundiger Ischamie stabilisierte sich der Blutdruck mit erniedrigten Werten sowie einer Normalisierung des Serumlaktatspiegels und des intramuralen pHi des Dunndarms. Eine Verlangerung der Ischamie auf 2 h (G…
A case report of a difficult dissection of the iliac vessels conducted by means of the harmonic scalpel during a kidney transplantation
2011
Background. The “difficult” preparation of iliac vessels in the kidney transplant recipient caused by a perivascular fibrosis with satellite lymphadenopathy is sometimes burdened by post-transplant complications (lymphocele, seroma and hematoma). Both iliac vascular adhesions and satellite lymphoadenopaty are often due to reiterate femoral cannulation aimed to hemodialysis. Patients and Methods: The case report concerns a 60 years old female uremic patient, on dialysis for about 4 years with perivascular fibrosis and pelvic lymphadenopathy caused by bilateral femoral artery catheterization. In the course of kidney transplant, preparation of the iliac vessels was performed by ultrasonic scal…
Polyamines and microbiota in bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve aortopathy
2019
Polyamines are small aliphatic cationic molecules synthesized via a highly regulated pathway and involved in general molecular and cellular phenomena. Both mammalian cells and microorganisms synthesize polyamines, and both sources may contribute to the presence of polyamines in the circulation. The dominant location for microorganisms within the body is the gut. Accordingly, the gut microbiota probably synthesizes most of the polyamines in the circulation in addition to those produced by the mammalian host cells. Polyamines are mandatory for cellular growth and proliferation. Established evidence suggests that the polyamine spermidine prolongs lifespan and improves cardiovascular health in …
Adjustable tourniquet to manipulate pulmonary blood flow after Norwood operations
2000
Abstract Background . Survival after first-stage palliative Norwood operations for single ventricle with systemic outflow obstruction is mainly dependent on a balanced ratio of pulmonary blood flow to systemic blood flow. Here we report the clinical results using a modified technique that allows a controlled systemic-to-pulmonary shunt flow to prevent pulmonary overcirculation. Methods . From 1995 to 1998, of 26 infants undergoing first-stage palliative Norwood operations, 7 had placement of an adjustable tourniquet around a modified right Blalock-Taussig shunt. Results . Hospital survival was 20 of 26 patients (77%). All 7 patients in whom snaring of the shunt was indicated survived. Two p…
Esophageal atresia in newborns: a wide spectrum from the isolated forms to a full VACTERL phenotype?
2013
Background: VATER association was first described in 1972 by Quan and Smith as an acronym which identifies a non-random co-occurrence of Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Tracheoesophageal fistula and/or Esophageal atresia, Radial dysplasia. It is even possible to find out Cardiovascular, Renal and Limb anomalies and the acronym VACTERL was adopted, also, embodying Vascular, as single umbilical artery, and external genitalia anomalies. Methods: Data on patients with esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) between January 2003 and January 2013 were evaluated for the contingent occurrence of typical VACTERL a…
Transcatheter radiofrequency perforation and stent implantation for palliation of pulmonary atresia in a 3060-g infant
1995
In a 3060-g infant with fibromuscular pulmonary atresia an open right ventricular outflow tract was created by means of interventional cardiological methods. Following two inadvertent perforations without sequelae or clinical symptoms, radiofrequency perforation and subsequent balloon dilatation were successfully performed. The implantation of a Palmaz iliac stent led to a predictable communication between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.
SYMPTOMATIC ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN A PATIENT BEARER OF HEART TRANSPLANTATION FOLLOWING ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
2008
In 2005 Syeda et al. reported that the major factor limiting the long term of cardiac transplantation is the development of accelerated arteriosclerosis that occurs in the coronary arteries of the cardiac allograft. Transplant arteriosclerosis is characterized by diffuse, uniform, concentric narrowing of the artery by a fibrous proliferation of sub-intima cells. This atherosclerosis was estimate to occur in approximately 50% of patients by 5 years after transplantation. Unfortunately, as a consequence of cardiac denervation, symptoms are often atypical or completely absent. When these are present, the symptoms are those typical of effort angina. Very uncommon is the acute coronary syndrome.…
Psychological Characteristics and Social Integration of Patients with Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Heart Failure Newly Listed for Heart Transplantation:…
2009
It is not known whether psychosocial risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) are present in patients listed for heart transplantation (HTx). The aim of this study was to examine whether HTx candidates with ischemic heart failure (due to CAD) have an adverse psychological risk profile and reduced social integration compared to patients with non-ischemic etiology. In the multi-site study "Waiting for a New Heart", waiting-list-related stressors, depression, anxiety, trait-anger, anger-expression, dispositional coping, social integration, and social support were assessed in 318 newly registered HTx candidates (53.5 ± 11.4 years, 18% female, left ventricular ejection fraction <25%).
