<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Dolichoectasia of the basilar artery is a characteristic finding Fabry disease. However, its prevalence, severity, and course have been poorly studied. This study quantitatively evaluated, by MRA, panel parameters in large cohort patients with <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Basilar mean diameter, curved length, "origin-to-end" linear distance (linear length), tortuosity index ([curved length ÷ length] − 1) were retrospectively measured on 1.5T MRA studies 110...
Protein-losing enteropathy occurred in a 7-year-old girl with tricuspid atresia, concordant ventriculo-arterial connexions and relatively large hypoplastic right ventricle, one year after an atrio-ventricular type of Fontan operation by means valveless woven Dacron conduit. Severe conduit regurgitation marked enlargement the ventricle were demonstrated at recatheterization. Insertion bioprosthetic valve base atrial appendage led to dramatic clinical recovery patient.
Abstract Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are necessary, but not sufficient, for the development of cervical cancer (CC). β‐herpesviruses (β‐HHVs) have been suggested as possible cofactors in oncogenesis CC. In this cross‐sectional study, prevalence and association cytomegalovirus (CMV), HHV‐6 ‐7 with HPV presence was investigated by quantitative real‐time PCR assays samples obtained from 208 italian women. The two most common high‐risk types found were 31 16. Overall, positive rates CMV, HHV‐7...
The occurrence of aortic obstruction in patients with cervical arch is very rare. clinical and angiocardiographic findings two this combination defects are presented. One these patients, whom tricuspid atresia reduced pulmonary blood flow was also present, had a successful resection the together construction Waterston shunt.
Subclinical vascular brain lesions are highly prevalent in elderly patients with stroke. Little is known about predisposing factors and their impact on long-term outcome of stroke at a young age.We quantified magnetic resonance-defined subclinical lesions, including lacunes white matter hyperintensities, perivascular spaces cerebral microbleeds, assessed total small-vessel disease (SVD) score first-ever acute ischemic aged 18 to 45 years, followed them up, as part the multicentre Italian...
Fifty-six patients with tricuspid atresia and decreased pulmonary blood flow received a systemic-to-pulmonary artery anastomosis as preliminary operation. Thirty-five had Waterston shunt, 12 Blalock-Taussig anastomosis, nine various other procedures. The age at operation ranged from 2 days to 10 years (median 4.5 months). Pulmonary was present in eight newborn infants. Four (7%), all less than 3 months old, died hospital persistent servere hypoxia despite the palliative procedure. By...
The surgical management of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and hypoplastic arteries poses difficult problems. Adequate palliation was achieved in two such patients by restoring continuity between the right ventricle means a woven Dacron patch. VSD left unrepaired. Angiography performed one month after operation showed reconstructed outflow tract to be widely patent enlarged. This approach may allow subsequent total correction closure these hopeless patients.
Seven newborn infants with life-threatening respiratory failure were treated veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal lung support and apneic oxygenation after maximal ventilatory pharmacological treatment failed. Diagnosis meconium aspiration syndrome in 3 cases, distress 2, sepsis 1, congenital diaphragmatic hernia 1. Before ECMO 6 received tolazoline, 4 surfactant, high frequency ventilation, 1 prostaglandin E, epoprostenol, 2 nitric oxide. Newborns highly hypoxemic at admission all but one...
Mustard's operation for TGA (transposition of the great arteries) has been obstructive complications. In order to try avoid these complications, we used Senning's TGA. Our experience in 35 consecutive cases is reported. There were no operative or late deaths. Four patients had a PDA; three significant VSD with subpulmonary stenosis two. Previous atrial septectomy and persistent LSVC did not represent contraindications this procedure. The postoperative course smooth uneventful all patients....
Twenty patients with atrio-ventricular canal malformations (5 complete and 15 partial forms) were operated upon during the last two years, using new surgical techniques. The repair of form based on a three-leaflet three-commissure mitral valve concept, was accomplished by: a) Two separate partitioning patches (one ventricular, one atrial), b) tricuspid attachment in between, c) no cleft sutures, d) correction subvalvular apparatus abnormalities, e) commissuroplasty. obtained Valvular lesions...
The case history of a newborn who at birth had necrotizing enterocolitis, worsened by an acute tubular necrosis and anuresis, is presented. A continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration was instituted for the baby, previously undergone abdominal surgery with resection necrotic bowel. hypothesis that enterocolitis could be cause in infancy discussed.
