AbstractThis review includes a brief discussion, from the perspective of cardiac surgeons, of the rationale for creation and maintenance of multi-institutional databases of outcomes of congenital heart surgery, together with a history of the evolution of such databases, a description of the current state of the art, and a discussion of areas for improvement and future expansion of the concept. Five fundamental areas are reviewed: nomenclature, mechanism of data collection and storage, mechanisms for the evaluation and comparison of the complexity of operations and stratification of risk, mechanisms to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data, and mechanisms for expansion of the current capabilities of databases to include comparison and sharing of data between medical subspecialties. This review briefly describes several European and North American initiatives related to databases for pediatric and congenital cardiac surgery the Congenital Database of The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, the Congenital Database of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium, and the Central Cardiac Audit Database in the United Kingdom. Potential means of approaching the ultimate goal of acquisition of long-term follow-up data, and input of this data over the life of the patient, are also considered.

History Of

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.

Plexus Papilloma

Background: Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are infrequently encountered brain tumors with the majority originating in the ventricular system. Rarely, CPP occurs outside of the ventricles. Case Description: We report the case of a recurrent CPP that initially originated within the fourth ventricle, though years later it recurred in the left middle cerebellar peduncle. Conclusion: Patients with cerebellar plexus papilloma need long-term follow-up comprising regular magnetic resonance imagings since, in patients with a history of CPP, any new mild symptomatology, even years after the initial presentation, may be an early sign of tumor recurrence.

The Relationship

Systemic inflammatory response was first determined in 1980 and cardiac surgeons turned to it in 1996. At present, there are a lot of publications on this issue, however, the extent of operation and duration of CPB are considered in clinical practice as crucial indicators of severity of patient's condition following cardiac surgery. In our study we tried to look at this problem from a different perspective and draw a parallel between the severity of patient's condition resulting from operational trauma and CPB. We included 48 patients who under-went cardiac surgery under CPB. Plasma levels of procalcitonin (PCT), lactate and interleukin-6 were investigated before the operation, after CPB and at 24 hours. Also revealed was the relationship between the plasma levels of IL-6, lactate and PCT (r = 0.53; p = 0.000 in both cases). The level of PCT at the 3rd stage was found to relate to the duration of CPB (r = 0.4; p = 0.005), ALV (r = 0.44; p = 0.001) and length of stay at ICU (r = 0.53; p = 0.000). We didn't manage to find any relationship between the length of stay at ICU and the duration of CPB. Correlation between the PCT plasma level and the duration of intensive care indicates the importance of dynamics of the given biomarker for early prediction of follow-up course after open-heart surgery.
