We report a case of advanced age at presentation of interrupted aortic arch with aortopulmonary window. Although the association between these two defects is well established, their overall prevalence is extremely low. This case presents us with an excellent opportunity to discuss decision making regarding aortic arch repair techniques according to age at which primary surgical correction is intended.

This article offers a review of the literature on current surgical management of the axilla in breast cancer. This includes the decision-making process involved in clinically node-negative patients versus clinically node-positive patients, with discussion of the indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary dissection. It also examines the surgical axillary management of patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This article will help update practicing surgeons on the evolving research and guidelines for the management of breast cancer axillary disease.

Determining Factor

We report the case of a patient with an abdominal gunshot trauma with liver and duodenal injury who underwent pyloric exclusion and liver repair in another institution. The patient was transferred to our institution 12 hours after surgery. During hospitalization, severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 and complications of the initial surgery developed. Non-surgical management was decided due to the severity of the disease. Percutaneous drainage allowed for the management of the collections avoiding a major initial surgery. Once he recovered from the pneumonia, the definite surgery was performed. Severe COVID-19 pneumonia in a patient with serious duodenal shotgun injury is a determining factor for decision-making of treatment options.
