Pulmonary artery stenosis after systemic-to-pulmonary shunt operations.
OBJECTIVE Systemic-to-pulmonary shunt operations are still required for palliation of certain congenital heart defects. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and etiology of the development of pulmonary artery stenosis after these procedures. METHODS AND RESULTS Pre- and post-operative angiograms of 59 patients who underwent 54 peripheral and 12 central shunt operations were anal...
متن کاملSystemic Thrombolysis for Pulmonary Embolism: A Review.
The authors review the evidence behind the use of thrombolytic therapy in patients with massive or submassive pulmonary embolism. Concurrent heparin therapy and the management of bleeding episodes are also discussed.
متن کاملTransient right-to-left shunt in massive pulmonary embolism.
A 56-yr-old man, two months after an operation for an acoustic neurinoma, gradually developed dyspnea. Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE), with a significant right-to-left (R-L) shunt, was seen in a perfusion scan of the lungs with Tc-99m MAA. Radioactivity was noted in the thyroid, spleen, kidneys and brain. A cardiac ultrasound study did not reveal intracardiac shunting. A few days later, when ...
متن کاملGrowth of the pulmonary arteries after systemic-pulmonary shunt.
Pulmonary artery growth after a systemic-pulmonary shunt was angiographically evaluated in 19 out of 35 patients. The mean age of the subjects at the time of the initial operation was 18+/-18 months including 12 patients under a year old. The preoperative diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in 10 patients, TOF plus pulmonary atresia in five and transposition of great arteries in four. A Bla...
متن کاملHow-to-do-it Retrograde pulmonary embolectomy in massive pulmonary embolism
The purpose of this study was introduction and evaluation of efficacy and safety of retrograde thromboembolectomy in acute massive pulmonary emboli. The method is described in a 56-year-old woman with acute massive pulmonary thromboemboli. Postoperative course was uneventful. The described surgical technique is not a panacea and definitely not the whole answer, but is a big part of the solution...
