Visualization of Thrombosis on a Prosthetic Pulmonary Valve Using Electrocardiogram-Gated Multidetector Computed Tomography
We report a case of prosthetic valve thrombosis in an 18-year-old man. Total surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot was performed at 3 years of age. At the age of 18, he underwent pulmonary valve replacement because of exacerbating pulmonary trunk obstruction. After surgery, valve malfunction was suspected. We attempted to employ electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). The stuck valve was clearly visualized together with a thrombus within. Thrombolytic therapy was undertaken on these findings. ECG-gated MDCT allowed us to make a definitive diagnosis of valve thrombosis as the cause of valve ...

Biatrial Recurrence of Two Independently Growing Cardiac Myxoma in a Patient with Multiple Tumor Disease
We report the case of a 56-year-old female patient with biatrial recurrence of cardiac myxoma and extensive comorbidities. In the literature, only few cases of biatrial myxoma can be found and they generally describe a single tumor reaching both atria. We found two independently growing cardiac myxomas of both atria.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  open access Full text (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports)

Special Report: 26-Year Durability of a Bioprosthesis Implanted in a 21-Year-Old Patient
THORAC CARDIOV SURG ReportsDOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1364323The choice of prosthetic heart valve type is largely dependent upon patient's age at implantation and on what, in his eyes, seems more pertinent: avoidance of complications associated with anticoagulation of mechanical valves or structural valve deterioration of bioprosthetic valves. Long lasting and new promising concepts such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation are promoting the use of bioprosthesis even in younger patients. However, it is up to the individual patient to decide.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table o...

Posttraumatic Arteriovenous Fistula of the Distal Posterior Tibial Artery as Cause of Delayed Wound Healing in an Unrecognized Arterial Injury
Conclusions The possibility of an AV fistula should be considered in case of persistent swelling after high-energy trauma of an extremity. The therapy of choice is surgery and the long-term result of successful fistula ligature is excellent.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  open access Full text (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports)
