An Infant With Hemodynamic Collapse

Intracoronary nicorandil relieves multiple coronary vasospasm with hemodynamic collapse.

A 49-year-old woman was referred to hospital because of chest discomfort. Coronary angiography revealed subtotal occlusion of the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, but subsequent hemodynamic collapse occurred. Based on the results of intravascular ultrasound the occlusion was suspected to be caused by coronary vasospasm, which was not relieved by intracoronary injection of iso...

Hemodynamic Collapse after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

The hemodynamic derangement associated with right ventricular diastolic collapse in cardiac tamponade: an experimental echocardiographic study.

Clinical reports indicate that right ventricular diastolic collapse (RVDC) is associated with cardiac tamponade. To assess the hemodynamic abnormalities associated with RVDC, we studied six chronically instrumented conscious dogs (group A) with two-dimensional echocardiography during cardiac tamponade induced by continuous saline infusion into the pericardial space. We recorded cardiac output (...

Submandibular Hemangioma with Cardiorespiratory Arrest in an Infant

Hemangiomas are defined as soft tissue lesions in the maxillofacial or oral region. Hemangiomas of salivary glands constitute 30% of the non-epithelial tumors in major salivary glands.  Benign tumors in salivary glands are located 85% in parotid gland and 13% in submandibular gland. We present a case of submandibular hemangioma in an infant patient that had some complications and a challenging ...
