To date, Streptococcus bovis endocarditis complicated by a superior mesenteric artery mycotic aneurysm and systemic septic emboli in patient with colon diverticulitis has never been reported. A 46-year-old man, history of identified diagnostic fiberscope hypertension, presented 14-day intermittent fever. An echocardiogram revealed severe mitral regurgitation two large floating vegetations attached to both leaflets. blood culture grew S. bovis. Abdominal pain left leg weakness developed 10...
Hydrothorax developing from pleuroperitoneal communication as a complication of peritoneal dialysis was first described in 1967 [Edward SR, Unger AM. Acute hydrothorax-a new dialysis. JAMA 1967; 199:853-5. ]. The incidence hydrothorax is approximately 1.6-2% continuous ambulatory (CAPD) patients. key to successful therapy obliteration the transdiaphragmatic route dialysate leakage with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). method which air checked intraoperatively preferred choice and...
Computed tomography (CT) has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome, and a number high-risk CT imaging features have reported. We aimed to identify findings suggesting for syndrome by examining clinical outcomes patients with type A intramural hematoma (TAIMH).This retrospective study analyzed relationship patient characteristics mortality events 63 receiving initial medical treatment TAIMH. Multivariate regression analysis was determine predictors events,...
The Meso-Rex bypass (MRB) is recognized as an effective treatment for portal hypertension secondary to extrahepatic vein occlusion (EHPVO) both in the pediatric and adult population, within or outside context of liver transplantation. It preferred surgical most centers because not only does it addresses hypertension, but also restores physiologic hepatopetal flow. However, Rex recess, landmark this technique, may be safely accessible some patients. We present a 22-year-old male who underwent...
Abstract Rationale: Currently endovascular treatments are commonly utilized to treat postpancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage. However, when procedure went wrong, open surgery with ligation of the culprit vessels would be most common salvage method. With Modified Viabahn Open Revascularization TEChnique (VORTEC), we can try rescue vessel without sacrificing it by introduction another stent under direct Patient concerns: A 76-year-old man stage IIIA ampulla vater adenocarcinoma underwent...
Aortic dissection is a rare but lethal disease. We demonstrate case of acute complicated Stanford type A aortic in the third trimester. 41-year-old primiparous patient with chronic hypertension was brought to our emergency department at 34 weeks gestation. She presented tearing chest pain radiating her back. Computed tomography revealed dissection. Primary cesarean section followed by open cardiovascular surgery performed. However, ischemic bowels and bowel perforation occurred on 9th 11th...
