Superior Vena Cava Clamping during Thoracic Surgery: Implications for the Anesthesiologist
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resection and reconstruction of the SVC is a challenging Intraoperative situation owing to the potential complications after clamping a patent vessel. Hemodynamic imbalance and neurological effects of SVC clamping can be life threatening. These complications can be prevented by careful intraoperative monitoring and management. Anaesthesiologist must be aware of different options to manage such challenging situations.

Conservative management of superior vena cava injury due to hemodialysis catheter placement: A case report and literature review
We reported the case of a 78-year old woman with the inadvertent superior vena cava injury resulting from hemodialysis catheter placement. The catheter was placed through the left internal jugular vein. Hemodynamics were stable. The initial chest film illustrated an extraluminal catheter and mediastinal widening. The patient did not have hemothorax. Computed tomography venography also confirmed...
متن کاملTransatrial access for left atrial pressure monitoring in cardiac surgery patients.
We describe a simple method for left atrial pressure (LAP) monitoring from the right to the left atrium (LA) by a central line catheter. The anesthesiologist cannulates vena jugularis interna and inserts two central line catheters. One catheter is placed in the vena cava superior and the second single-lumen catheter is placed in the right atrium. The surgeon positions a one-line catheter from t...

Congenital aortocaval fistula in association with complex congenital heart disease has never been described before. We represent an adult with tetralogy of fallot and an undiagnosed subclavian artery to superior vena cava fistula in previous catheterisms. He underwent surgical correction, successfully. After 8 months post operation he was doing well with improved functional capacity and no ...

Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the mediastinum is a rare type of carcinoma. According to the literature, only five cases of this condition have been reported so far. In this paper, we present a rare case of mediastinal NEC of unknown primary site. The patient was a 34-year-old man with mediastinal NEC, who presented with chronic dry cough and a right-sided mediastinal mass one year p...
متن کاملCross-clamping of the descending thoracic aorta leads to the asymmetrical distribution of propofol during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that cross-clamping of the descending thoracic aorta (CcDTA) would result in significant changes in plasma propofol concentrations (Cp) proximal and distal to the cross-clamp. We investigated the effect of CcDTA on Cp centrally and distally, including the pulmonary artery and the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cannula. METHODS The bispectral index (BIS) was recorded d...
