A patch plasty to inferior pulmonary vein: when more release is needed.
Fig. 1. (a and b) A 58-year-old male patient with a lung cancer located at the mainstem bronchi level without carinal invasion, with limited pulmonary functions had a right upper sleeve lobectomy and en bloc segmentectomy to lower lobe superior segment. After completion of the anastomosis, tension occurred and occluded the drainage in lower lobe pulmonary vein. Under this condition, either lowe...
متن کاملA Narrative Review of Norovirus Gastroenteritis: More Global Attention Is Needed
Noroviruses (NoVs), an important pathogenic agent of foodborne illness, lead to acute and chronic gastroenteritis in humans of all ages and to travelers’ diarrhea. Many genotypes exist in nature; GII.4 is widely known as the most predominant. Outbreaks mostly occur in semi-closed settings. Although the disease is self-limited to person, many cases have resulted in death, which has raised more c...
متن کاملPulmonary emphysema: when more is less.
Pulmonary emphysema results from the loss of intricate alveolar architecture and progressive simplification of small and highly effective gas-exchanging units into large, inefficient cyst-like spaces. Because of the loss of alveolar gas-exchanging units and the capillary bed within them, blood oxygen levels eventually fall and pressures within the pulmonary circulation rise. Recent insights fro...
متن کاملHemopericardium Due to Idiopathic Coronary Artery Rupture Treated with Saphenous Vein Patch Plasty
We report a case of an idiopathic coronary artery rupture in a 41-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with cardiac tamponade. On opening the chest via a median sternotomy and establishing cardiopulmonary bypass the hemopericardium's cause could be identified as a perforation of the right posterior descending coronary artery which was treated with a saphenous vein patch plasty...
متن کاملRadiofrequency energy delivery for pulmonary vein isolation: is less more?
As catheter ablation to eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved, new catheter technologies have become available to increase lesion size and improve safety. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was first performed with radiofrequency energy using a 4 mm tip electrode. Subsequently, 8–10 mm tip electrodes and irrigated-tip catheters became available. The premise of these systems is that as the c...
