This report describes a temporary retrograde occlusion technique for control of a high-flow tracheo-esophageal fistula in a critically ill, premature infant born at 29 weeks' gestational age, with a diagnosis of type C (Gross) esophageal atresia and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This procedure is a useful bridging maneuver before definitive surgical correction for extremely low birth weight, unsta...

thoracobiliary fistula is a rare complication of hydatid cyst disease of the liver especially in calcified form. given the rarity and high mortality of such fistula, it is not surprising that there is no consensus about surgical treatment of this condition. in the present paper we report two cases of thoracobiliary fistula of complicated calcified hydatid cyst of the liver. a 64-year-old man wi...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to recommend criteria for selection of patients who benefited from the use of gastrostomy rather than emergency fistula closure during the staged operation of esophageal atresia (EA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2004 and July 2006, 75 cases of EA, were consecutively operated. Nineteen out of 75 (25%) underwent routine gastrostomy because they req...

Venous injury and attendant venous stenosis are major contributors to the failure of hemodialysis vascular accesses. This report describes the presence of neoangiogenesis in the intima and adventitia of the venous limb of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula in the rat, the latter induced by creating an aortocaval fistula. Immunohistochemistry of the venous limb demonstrated the presence of c-Kit-posi...
