The goal of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair is to obtain an unobstructed communication between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium and removing intracardiac shunting. However, pulmonary venous obstruction orstenosis may be seen in 5-10% of patients, is usually evident in the first 6 months following surgery and may lead to pulmonary congestion, pulmonary arterial hyperten...

Primary dissecting aneurysm of a coronary artery is a rare form of acute coronary arterial obstruction. A review of 24 cases, including two observed by the authors, indicates that this condition tends to occur (1) in the young adult, (2) in the female more commonly than the male, and (3) relatively commonly in the postpartum state. The clinical manifestations take the form either of sudden deat...

Ureteral obstruction can occur due to various pathologies. Ureteral calculus is one of the commonest causes. Extra luminal and less commonly intra luminal Ureteral obstruction can occur due to malignancy. Unrecognised Ischemic injuries during gynaecological surgery can cause ureteric stricture and obstruction at a later date. Traumatic injuries have also been documented as an important cause of...

The systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endobronchial stent placement for malignant airway obstruction. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases identify relevant studies. Cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, case-control studies examining outcomes in patients with obstruction were included. Data on pre-treatment evaluation, such as pulmo...

Spontaneous resolution of the arterial obstruction in Takayasu's arteritis is rarely reported. We reported a case of spontaneous resolution of an obstruction of the left subclavian artery in a young female. The patient underwent a bilateral coronary patch ostioplasty for both coronary ostial lesions complicated by Takayasu's arteritis at the age of 28. Concomitant left subclavian obstruction wa...

Arterial blood gas analysis is an important diagnostic and monitoring tool for respiratory abnormalities. In human medicine, lung complications often occur as a result of liver disease. Although pulmonary complications of liver disease have not been reported in dogs, we have frequently encountered hypoxemia in dogs with liver disorders, especially extrahepatic biliary obstruction. In addition, ...

In 80 hands with arterial occlusive disease, systolic blood pressure at the wrist and in all fingers was measured by photoelectric plethysmography. The correlation of such pressures with angiographic evidence of organic obstruction or the development of digital ischemic signs was studied. Digital blood pressure was normal in all 184 fingers in which there was at least one obstruction-free arter...

A patient with known obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy developed worsening left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, severe mitral regurgitation, and apical ballooning leading to cardiogenic shock, a combination in which treatment of each component could worsen the others. Emergency veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, levosimendan, noradrenaline transiently restored adequ...
