Chronic Pulmonary Emphysema

Seven cases of Marfan's syndrome are reviewed clinically, radiologically, and pathologically. Six of the seven cases showed evidence of pulmonary dysaeration: (a) Two of the cases showed compression of the left main-stem bronchus by a giant left atrium with atelectasis of the left lung and compensatory emphysema of the right lung. (b) Two of the cases showed evidence of diffuse chronic pulmonary emphysema. Three cases had bilateral apical bullae. (c) One of the cases developed pneumothorax. The lungs of the children with the Marfan syndrome show precocious maturation of the elastic stroma of the alveolar septae. The pathogenesis of emphysema is discussed in relationship to the Marfan abiotrophy of connective tissue.

We report a case of bullet penetration into the left iliac vein, with embolus into the inferior vena cava and migration up to the junction of the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. The bullet was subsequently extracted through laparotomy from the infrarenal segment of the inferior vena cava, just above its bifurcation.

Dilution Curves

The role of venous passage of indicator from different venous injection sites on the genesis of right heart and pulmonary artery dilution curves was examined. Right heart and pulmonary artery thermodilution curves were recorded after injection of cool dye into commonly used portals—superior vena caval, right atrial, and inferior vena caval—and the contour compared with the subsequent femoral artery dye dilution curve. With superior vena caval or right atrial injection, the contour and disappearance slopes of the pulmonary artery curve bore an extremely variable relationship to those of the femoral artery curve. In sharp contrast, inferior vena caval injection yielded pulmonary artery curves with disappearance slopes which were highly correlated with the femoral artery slope ( r = .99). With inferior vena caval injection, considerable temporal dispersion and spatial dispersion of indicator is found at the right atrial level. With superior vena caval injection distribution mainly occurred beyond the right atrium and even beyond the pulmonary artery in eight out of ten animal studies. The geometry of the venous system may explain this difference. Inaccuracies in flow calculation from right heart dilution curves in dogs would seem to be minimized by inferior vena caval injection.

AbstractBackgroundThe anatomy of the sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) of the inferior vena caval type is complex. Limited rate of complications during its closure has been described. One of the unusual complications, with few case reports, is the iatrogenic diversion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium (LA).Case summary We report the case of a 5-year-old boy who underwent previous surgical closure of sinus venosus ASD of the inferior vena caval type aged 2 years. Three years after surgery, he was diagnosed as having iatrogenic diversion of the IVC to the LA.Discussion Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons should be aware of this rare but significant complication following routine ASD surgical repair and vigilant follow-up should be performed routinely.

Giant Left Atrium

A 52 year-old male patient of severe MS with mild MR with AF with a giant left atrium (LA size 70 mm) and history of CMC presented with symptoms. Giant left atrium is a condition characterized by huge enlargement of the left atrium with a diameter exceeding 65mm. It is most commonly associated with long standing rheumatic mitral valve disease. The patient underwent successful mitral valve replacement and removal of LA thrombus and discharged from hospital with adviceCardiovasc. j. 2016; 9(1): 73-74
