Internal thoracic vein: friend or foe?
The internal thoracic vein is a conduit that has not been thoroughly investigated in literature as long term patency and outcomes are unknown. We present a case where the right internal thoracic vein (RITV) was used to extend a short right internal thoracic artery (RITA). The elongated composite conduit was then anastomosed to the right coronary artery (RCA). A 61-year-old male patient was refe...
متن کاملThoracic vein ablation terminates chronic atrial fibrillation in dogs.
The thoracic vein hypothesis of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) posits that rapid, repetitive activations from muscle sleeves within thoracic veins underlie the mechanism of sustained AF. If this is so, thoracic vein ablation should terminate sustained AF and prevent its reinduction. Six female mongrel dogs underwent chronic pulmonary vein (PV) pacing at 20 Hz to induce sustained (>48 h) AF. B...
متن کاملConservative Management of Azygous Vein Rupture in Blunt Thoracic Trauma
We report a case of successful conservative management of acute traumatic rupture of the azygous vein. A 48-year-old male was involved in a motor vehicle collision. Primary survey revealed acute right intrathoracic haemorrhage. He remained haemodynamically stable with rapid infusion of warmed crystalloid solution and blood. Computed tomographic imaging showed a contained haematoma of the azygou...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic characteristics differentiating epicardial outflow tract-ventricular arrhythmias originating from the anterior interventricular vein and distal great cardiac vein.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the ECG features that might differentiate between anterior interventricular vein (AIV) and distal great cardiac vein (d-GCV) outflow tract-ventricular arrhythmias (OT-VAs). METHODSANDRESULTS Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed in 13 of 375 patients (3.5%) for AIV or d-GCV OT-VAs. We grouped the 13 patients by the origin, d-GCV (n=9) ...
متن کاملPrevention and management of perioperative arrhythmias in the thoracic surgical population.
Although bradyarrhythmias or malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias have been reported in less than 1% of patients following noncardiac surgery, rapid atrial arrhythmias more frequently affect the elderly who undergo thoracic operations. This article focuses on new issues leading to the improved understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of postoperative atrial arrhythmias. It discusse...
