We report a comparison of two cases regarding subjects who underwent thoracoabdominal aorta aneurysmectomy. During the procedure we monitored cerebrospinal fluid lactate concentration. One patient experienced postoperative paraplegia and his cerebrospinal fluid lactate concentration was much higher than that in the other case, whose postoperative outcome was uneventful. Consequently we consider that monitoring the lactate concentration in cerebrospinal fluid during thoracic aorta surgical procedures may be a helpful tool to predict the ischemic spine-cord injury allowing for trying to recover it precociously.

Renal Venous Hypertension

Abstract Background: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) refers to compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), which results in renal venous hypertension and its resultant clinical manifestations. Left renal vein thrombus (LRVT) complicating NCS is relatively rare. To the best of our knowledge, there are only four case reports of LRVT complicating NCS. Furthermore, there are no reports of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) caused by NCS. Herein, we describe a rare case of NCS causing LRVT and PTE and its clinical management. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute left flank pain. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed compression of the LRV between the aorta and the SMA with an LRVT. Furthermore, CTA revealed bilateral PTE. Rivaroxaban was administered as an anticoagulant. Twenty days after initiation, CTA revealed complete resolution of PTE and LRVT, and repeat CTA at 3 and 6 months showed no recurrence. Conclusions: This case report demonstrates that NSC may be a possible cause of LRVT and PTE. We review the reported cases of NCS complicated by LRVT and discuss the imaging modalities for NCS.

Abstract Research shows that the presence of cancer increases the likelihood of developing venous thromboembolism (pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis) from as much as fourfold up to sevenfold. It is imperative that after early diagnosis we treat cancer-associated thrombosis with grave seriousness in order to reduce its morbidity and mortality. We present 14 case reports of patients with cancer-associated thrombosis including thrombosis related to malignant hemopathies.

Intracardiac Thrombosis

Intracardiac thrombosis (ICT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) during adult liver transplantation are rare but potentially lethal complications. They are often overlooked because of significant diagnostic challenges. The combination of hemodynamic compromise and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) findings allows for correct diagnosis. A large variety of putative risk factors for ICT and PE have been suggested, but these events are considered to be multifactorial. There are different proposed treatment modalities for these devastating complications. Unfortunately, in spite of growing knowledge in this area, intraoperative and postoperative mortalities remain very high. The retrospective nature of the study of these events makes the case reports extremely valuable.
