21 patients with LAD-stenoses of at least 70% and 21 patients with LAD- stenoses and additional intramural anterior wall infarctions were studied. 20 patients without heart disease or after successful transluminal coronary angioplasty and 18 patients with intramural anterior wall infarction after successful transluminal dilatation of the LAD (remaining stenosis maximal 30%) served as controls. The normal range of global and regional left ventricular ejection fraction response to exercise was defined based on the data of 25 further patients without relevant coronary heart disease. Thus, a decrease in global ejection fraction and regional wall motion abnormalities were judged pathological. All patients were comparable with respect to age, ejection fraction at rest and work load. Myocardial ischemia could be detected by the exercise ECG in 81 % of all patients without infarction and in 71 % of patients with infarction. The corresponding values for global left ventricular ejection fraction were 76% and 81 %, respectively, and for regional ejection fraction 95% in both groups. No false-positive exercise ECGs were observed in the healthy controls and 2 (11 %) in the corresponding group with intramural infarction. The global ejection fraction was pathological in 1 (5%) healthy subject without infarction and in 3 (17%) corresponding patients with infarction. Sectorial analysis revealed 5 and 22%, respectively. Our findings suggest that the exercise ECG has a limited sensitivity to detect myocardial ischemia in patients with isolated LAD-stenoses and intramural myocardial infarction. Radionuclide ventriculography yields pathological values more often; however, false-positive results also occur more frequently.

A 54-year-old man was referred to our institution with hemoptysis and hoarseness of 1 year's duration. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed an anterior mediastinal mass (2.5 cm x 1.0 cm), which was diagnosed as thymoma. The tumor was resected under a sternotomy. The tumor had invaded the anterior wall of the ascending aorta. With the patient under cardiopulmonary bypass, the aortic wall invaded by the mass was resected, and arterial reconstruction was performed with patch material. The tumor was revealed to be a tumor of neuronal origin. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 9. One year after the operation, a follow-up chest CT evaluation showed no specific complications or recurrence.

Stress Cardiomyopathy

A súlyos stressz hatására bekövetkező bal kamrai diszfunkció régóta ismert jelenség. Ennek a bal kamra apicalis dilatatiójával járó reverzíbilis formáját Sato és munkatársai 1990-ben történt első leírása nyomán „tako-tsubo”-cardiomyopathiának vagy ampulla-cardiomyopathiának hívják. Az erről szóló publikációkban mind a japán, mind az angolszász irodalomban szinte egyenlőségjelet tesznek a stressz-cardiomyopathia és a tako-tsubo-cardiomyopthia közé. Célkitűzés: A stressz indukálta reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciós betegeink adatainak feldolgozásával tisztázni e kórkép lehetséges klinikai formáit és legjellemzőbb klinikai paramétereiket. Módszer: a 2002 és 2007 közötti, a Budai Irgalmasrendi Kórházban kezelt olyan betegek adatainak retrospektív feldolgozása, akiknél kimutatható volt a reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkció, és a koronarográfia negatív eredményt adott, valamint a klinikum és a laborparaméterek nem utaltak myocarditisre. Eredmények: Az elmúlt öt és fél évben összesen 6 olyan esetet találtunk, amelyek megfeleltek a fent leírt kritériumoknak. A betegek 55–80 év közötti nők voltak, akiknél öt esetben volt kimutatható oki tényezője a reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciónak. Következtetések: A stressz indukálta cardiomyopathiának csak egyik formája a bal kamra csúcsi dilatációja, és ennek a csoportnak a fő közös jellemzője nem a tako-tsubo-szerű balkamra-tágulat, amely nincsen mindig jelen, hanem a szinte mindig meglévő QT-megnyúlás és negatív T-hullámok, amelyek a coronariabetegség nélküli akut, reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciót néhány nappal követik megfigyeléseink és az irodalmi adatok alapján.

Abstract Background Pouch volvulus after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis is a very rare postoperative complication. The common site of pouch volvulus has been reported to be the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis and the middle part of the pouch, but no reports on pouch volvulus in the afferent limb of the pouch have been observed. Here, we report the case of a patient with afferent limb volvulus who underwent afferent limbpexy, but required reoperation 7 months later. Case presentation A 38-year-old man with refractory ulcerative colitis had undergone open proctocolectomy 10 years ago at another hospital. He had been aware of lower abdominal pain and bowel movement difficulty for 2 years. After repeated bowel obstruction, he was referred to our hospital for surgery. Based on the radiographic findings, we diagnosed a pouch volvulus and performed an operation. Laparoscopically, counterclockwise rotation of the afferent limb of the pouch was recognized. Moreover, the ileal mesentery was adhered and fixed to the presacral space 20 cm from the oral side of the pouch. The antimesenteric side of the afferent limb was fixed using interrupted stiches on the left peritoneal wall of the pelvis. He was discharged uneventfully 18 days after surgery, and defecation improved immediately. However, he was readmitted 7 months after surgery with the same abdominal pain and defecation difficulty. A similar finding was found and diagnosed as recurrent volvulus. Therefore, we performed a laparoscopic surgery. The same volvulus as in the previous surgery was confirmed. The site fixed during the previous surgery showed scars, but the afferent limb was free. The dilated ileum that contained the volvulus was excised only on the oral side of the pouch and an intraluminal anastomosis was performed on the anterior wall of the pouch. He had a good postoperative course and was discharged. Conclusion Proper diagnosis of volvulus based on the characteristic imaging findings is important. In principle, bilateral row fixation of the rotated ileum is the basic procedure for volvulus. However, fixation with this technique is sometimes difficult. Therefore, this procedure is one of the useful options for the fixation of difficult or recurrent cases.
