Of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. We report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...

A Rare Cause of Cardiac Tamponade: Left Ventricular Pacemaker Malposition

The malpositioning of a pacemaker lead is an uncommon and under-reported complication of pacemaker/Automated Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD) placement. It can be associated with complications such as pericardial effusions and tamponade. We describe a case of an elderly woman who developed cardiac tamponade after inadvertent placement of a permanent pacing lead in the left ventricl...

A Comparative Analysis between Right and Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare congenital anomaly of the diaphragm with an incidence of 1:2000-5000 of live births. This study retrospectively evaluated patients who had been operated on for CDH at our department of Pediatric Surgery between January 2013 and December 2016. The Demographic Data and outcomes of right CDH cases (Group 1) were compared with left CDH cases (Group 2).
