Asplenia Syndrome

Congenital anomalies of the caval vein are often associated with other abnormities such as heart defects, situs inversus or a polysplenia-asplenia-syndrome. An isolated, congenital malformation like aplasia of the inferior vena cava is a rare finding. A review of the embryology and abnormities, diagnostics, clinical signs and treatment is given together with the histories of two patients having thrombosis of the lower extremities and pelvic veins, caused by aplasia of the inferior vena cava. After thrombotic complications caused by vena cava aplasia there is high risk of recurrence. Those patients should be anticoagulated for lifetime.

Venous Complication

Even though the majority of abdominal aortic aneurysm s(AAAs) are asymptomatic, they can occasionally manifest as a result of adjacent structures involvement. Although the most frequent venous complication of AAA is rupture into the inferior vena cava (IVC), venous compression can infrequently occur. The authors report a particularly rare case of compression and thrombosis of the IVC by AAA. Patient was treated by preoperative placement of an IVC filter to impede pulmonary embolism and subsequently by open surgical repair. Besides discussing the circumstances associated with IVC compression by AAA, the authors also discuss the treatment strategy adopted and the possible alternatives.

Background: Although Fontan palliation seems to be inevitable for many patients with complex congenital heart defects (CHDs), candidates with appropriate conditions could be selected for biventricular conversion. We aimed to summarize our single-center experience in patient selection, surgical strategies, and early outcomes in biventricular conversion for the complex CHD.Methods: From April 2017 to June 2021, we reviewed 23 cases with complex CHD who underwent biventricular conversion. Patients were divided into two groups according to the development of the ventricles: balanced ventricular group (15 cases) and imbalanced ventricular group (8 cases). Early and short-term outcomes during the 30.2 months (range, 4.2–49.8 months) follow-up period were compared.Results: The overall mortality rate was 4.3% with one death case. In the balanced ventricular group, 6 cases received 3D printing for pre-operational evaluation. One case died because of heart failure in the early postoperative period. One case received reoperation due to the obstruction of the superior vena cava. In the imbalanced ventricular group, the mean left ventricular end-diastolic volume was (33.6 ± 2.1) ml/m2, the mean left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was 9.1 ± 1.9 mmHg, and 4 cases received 3D printing. No death occurred while one case implanted a pacemaker due to a third-degree atrioventricular block. The pre-operational evaluation and surgery simulation with a 3D printing model helped to reduce bypass time in the balanced group (p < 0.05), and reduced both bypass and aorta clamp time in the imbalanced group (p < 0.05). All patients presented great cardiac function in the follow-up period.Conclusion: Comprehensive evaluation, especially 3D printing technique, was conducive to finding the appropriate cases for biventricular conversion and significantly reduced surgery time. Biventricular conversion in selected patients led to promising clinical outcomes, albeit unverified long-term results.
