Biloculate false aneurysm of the right ventricle after cardiac surgery.

Biloculate false aneurysm of the right ventricle after cardiac surgery.

A case of a 12-year-old boy who had double false aneurysms of the right ventricle after incomplete closed pulmonary valvotomy six years earlier is presented. The aneurysms were successfully treated surgically, and the aetiology is discussed.

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy

False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Rupture of the right ventricle after closed-chest cardiac massage.

A 64-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with chest discomfort. ECG recording and coronary angiography were performed and revealed myocardial infarction due to an occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. During angiography, cardiac arrest occurred, and closed-chest cardiac massage was performed successfully. After 3 minutes of resuscitation, a sinus rhythm was restored...
