Abstract Background: Intracardiac cement embolisms(ICE) have been poorly reported in the literature. When the presence of intracardiac cement embolismsis identified, the cardiorespiratory complications related to ICE may be delayed and opinions also differ regarding whether the clinical consequences of this specific complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is benign or malignant. Case presentation: A 63-year-old female patient was referred to our institution with chest discomfort and dyspnea. She had underwent PV in the lumbar vertebra one year ago. Radiologic investigations revealed the foreign material in the RA, perforating the RA wall and penetrating right pleura. We performed the removal surgically of the cement fragments after a median sternotomy with under heart-lung machine.Conclusions: when the presence of ICE is identified, the cardiorespiratory complications related to ICE may be delayed and a symptomatic and migrating bone cement must be considered surgical retrieval for the prevention of the progression into a constrictive pericarditis as well as symptom relief. This is the first report describing simultaneous cardiac and lung perforation and the longest interval period case (one year after PV) treated surgically caused by bone cement.

Abstract Background Central aortic cannulation is used to give oxygenated blood to the patient through a heart-lung machine. Major surgical intraoperative bleeding during cardiac surgery is a dreaded complication, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Central Aortic cannula disruption during Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a rare complication which needs prompt management. Case Presentation We are reporting a case of central aortic cannula disruption during LA myxoma excision in which the Metal tip part of the cannula detached from its body, resulting in massive blood loss. Intraoperative blood salvage technique was used to maintain hemodynamics during surgery.Conclusion Aortic cannula disruption is a rare complication and can be lethal to the patient, if not managed timely. Before cannulation, proper visual inspection of all cannulae by team members is very important to eliminate this type of complication.

Ascending aorta aneurysm and aortic arch aneurysm surgery remain some of the most complex problems that cardiovascular surgeons face. It stems from the need for the correction of the underlying pathology while simultaneously adequately protecting the brain and visceral arteries. Purpose. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of post-surgical complications and the immediate post-surgical results of surgical treatment of ascending aorta aneurysms and/or aortic arch aneurysms. Materials and methods. During the twelve-year period of 1994– 2016, we have surgically operated on a total of 317 patients aneurysms of the ascending aorta and/or the aortic arch. The method we employed to diagnose the aneurysms consisted of evaluating the patients’ medical history, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographies, computer tomographies, X-ray examinations, and aortographies. All of the 317 surgeries were performed on the patients under general anaesthesia, and the incision via the the median sternotomy, employing the use of a heart-lung machine. Valve sparing technique with aortic valve resuspension / valvuloplasty and hemiarch/arch replacement – 221/6 patients (69.7 %). Bentall procedure with hemiarch/arch replacement – 67/4 (21.1 %). Other surgeries – 29 (9.2 % of patients). Results and discussion. The history of aortic aneurysm development is briefly mentioned in the paper. The diagnostic methods presented are currently the primary method of computer tomography. The initial condition of the patients was serious enough. All surgeries were performed through a median sternotomy and with the use of heart-lung machine. For surgical treatment of aneurysms the following techniques were used: напівдуги/дуги – у 221/6 (69,7 %) хворих. У цій групі 7 операцій Yacoub, 3 операції David. У 7 пацієнтів виконана плікація однієї зі стулок при пролапсі аортального клапана. Укріплення вільного краю стулки виконано в 3 хворих, пластика латкою фенестрацій стулки аортального клапана – у 4; 2) операція Bentall з протезуванням напівдуги/дуги – у 67/4 (21,1 %); 3) інші – ізольоване протезування дуги – у 14 (4,4 %); операція Wheat + протезування дуги – у 6 (1,9%); пластика дуги аорти – у 4 (1,3 %); гібридні операції Elephant trunk (conventional Elephant trunk) + TEVAR – у 5 (1,6 %). Захист головного мозку виконувався по-різному на кожному із трьох етапів хірургічного досвіду. Найкращий результат досягнутий на 3 етапі: з 229 прооперованих померли 9 хворих (3,9 %). Також у лікуванні використано сучасний ендоваскулярний метод – гібридні операції Elephant trunk + TEVAR – у 5 (1,6 %) з хорошим безпосереднім результатом. Висновки. 1. При розшаруванні аорти типу А (І тип за De Bakey) операцією вибору є супракоронарне протезування з півдугою (дугою) аорти. 2. Накопичення хірургічного досвіду, вишкіл команди, удосконалення методик захисту головного мозку й вісцеральних органів – дозволили знизити кількість післяопераційних ускладнень з 64 % до 8,7 % і госпітальну летальність з 28 % до 3,9 %. Ключові слова: аневризма дуги, розшарувальна аневризма, глибока гіпотермія, ретроградна церебральна перфузія.

Abstract Background Primary cutaneous mucinosis are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the deposition of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis and the follicles. These diseases are rare in children therefore their diagnosis and management are still challenging. Joint involvement has been reported in patients with secondary cutaneous mucinosis and, rarely, in primary mucinosis. We describe a case of Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy with joint involvement. Case presentation An healthy 5-year-old boy showed acute arthritis of the left knee and left elbow confirmed by ultrasound. Laboratory tests were within normal range. Symptoms disappeared after a course of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. One year later, the knee swelling reappeared; juvenile idiopathic arthritis was diagnosed and intra-articular steroid injection was performed. Due to persistence of arthritis of the knee he was admitted to our hospital. On physical examination variable skin-colored lesions were observed, which had been in existence for over 2 years. We performed a skin biopsy that showed an interstitial mucine deposition in the reticular dermis. Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy was diagnosed. Discussion and conclusions Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy is a persistent dermatosis with benign prognosis and no treatment is generally required. Our case report is particularly interesting because it is the first in which joint involvement has been reported in CMI, a disorder that has so far been described as limited to skin involvement. Further studies will be necessary in order to clarify the pathogenesis of joint involvement in primary mucinosis.
