Successful use of a military haemostatic agent in patients undergoing extracorporeal circulatory assistance and delayed sternal closure
Muzzi, L., Tommasino, G., Tucci, E., Neri, E. Tue, 15 May 2012 12:07:55 -0700
We report the successful control of bleeding in two patients who underwent post-cardiotomy extracorporeal circulatory support (ECMO) and then developed life-threatening bleeding due to severe coagulopathy. After the failure of conventional techniques, bleeding control was achieved using Celox™ Gauze (MedTrade Products Ltd, Cheshire, UK) packed on the sternal edges and pericardial cavity.

Unidirectional valved patch closure of ventricular septal defects with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
Talwar, S., Choudhary, S. K., Garg, S., Saxena, A., Ramakrishnan, S., Kothari, S. S., Juneja, R., Airan, B. Tue, 15 May 2012 12:07:55 -0700
Delayed presentation of ventricular septal defect (VSD) is common in developing countries. Such patients often have severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which increases post-operative morbidity and mortality. To address these problems, we used our technique of unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for closure of VSD. Between January 2006 and December 2010, 17 patients (age 2–23 years, median 9 years) with a large VSD and severe PAH underwent VSD closure with UVP. Pre-operative mean indexed pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRI) was 10.9 ± 2.2 Wood units and mean pre-operative systemic saturation was 93.4 ± 2.6%. Shunt was bidirectional in 15 patients and predominantly right to left in two. After VSD closure, intra-operative transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a right to left shunt across the patch in three patients 2, 7 and 9 years of age who had pre-operative PVRI of 9.5, 9.8 and 11.1 Wood units, respectively. There were no in-hospital deaths and all patients had uneventful recovery. Mean follow-up was 30 ± 14.7 months and all patients are well without cyanosis. Echocardiography showed no shunt across the patch and all have systemic saturation >95%. We conclude that UVP is a promising technique in patients with large VSD and severe PAH.

Totally Endoscopic Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Is Feasible Using Robotic Technology [CASE REPORTS]
Bonatti, J., Wehman, B., de Biasi, A. R., Jeudy, J., Griffith, B., Lehr, E. J. Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:08:42 -0700
Multivessel robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting is currently under development. Quadruple totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass has so far not been reported. A 75-year-old patient with multivessel coronary artery disease underwent daVinci Si–assisted completely endoscopic placement of a left internal mammary artery bypass to the left anterior descending artery and construction of a right internal mammary artery Y-graft off the left internal mammary artery to the posterior descending artery. The left internal mammary artery was also connected to a diagonal branch as a sequential graft. The obtuse marginal branch was revascularized using an endoscopically harvested vein graft originating from the left axillary artery.
A Rapid Structural Degeneration of a Porcine Mitral Valve [CASE REPORTS]
Miura, T., Hazama, S., Iwasaki, K., Izumi, K., Matsukuma, S., Eishi, K. Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:08:42 -0700
A 73-year-old woman underwent both mitral and aortic valve replacements with porcine heart valve prostheses because of severe mitral regurgitation and severe aortic regurgitation. Ten months after surgery, maximal flow velocity of the aortic valve reached 4.6 m/sec and moderate mitral regurgitation was detected. Repeated mitral and aortic valve replacements with mechanical heart valves were performed. The excised mitral valve showed thinning of the 3 cusps, and 2 of them were perforated. There was pannus overgrowth on the flow surface of the porcine aortic valve. Histologic examination of the excised mitral valve revealed marked inflammatory changes with macrophages.
Synchronous Presentation of Cardiac and Abdominal Paragangliomas [CASE REPORTS]
Marshall, L., Shah, P., Yeung, S., Mundy, J. Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:08:42 -0700
A 28-year-old male presenting with a hypertensive crisis was found to have synchronous right atrial and retrocaval masses. Serum normetadrenaline was elevated in keeping with functional paragangliomas. After preoperative optimization both masses were successfully excised, including a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery. Serum catecholamines returned to the normal range postoperatively and all antihypertensive therapy was ceased.
