Successful management of a large air embolus during an extended right hepatectomy with an emergency cardiopulmonary bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An air embolus is a recognized but rare complication of a partial hepatectomy. The aim of this report was to describe the diagnosis and management of a large paradoxical air embolus during hepatic resection.

Methods

Case report.

Results

A single patient report of a massive paradoxical air embolus during an extended right hepatectomy is described. The diagnosis was confirmed by trans-oesophageal echo (video provided). After failed conservative management an emergency cardiopulmonary bypass was instituted with a successful outcome.

Conclusion

Surgeons and anaesthetists involved in hepatic surgery should be aware of signs, investigations and management of this life-threatening intra-operative complication.

Duodenoportal fistula caused by peptic ulcer after extended right hepatectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundA fistula between the duodenum and the main portal vein near a peptic ulcer is extremely rare, and only two cases of duodenal ulcers have been reported in the past.Case presentationWe report a 68-year-old man with a diagnosis of anemia who had a history of extended right hepatectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma 20 months previously. The first endoscopic examination revealed a giant peptic ulcer with active bleeding at the posterior wall of the duodenal bulbs, and hemostasis was performed. Endoscopic treatment and transarterial embolization were performed repeatedly because of uncontrollable bleeding from the duodenal ulcer. Nevertheless, he died of sudden massive hematemesis on the 20th hospital day. At autopsy, communication with the main portal vein and duodenal ulcer was observed.ConclusionIt should be borne in mind that the main portal vein is exposed at the front of the hepatoduodenal ligament in cases with previous extrahepatic bile duct resection.

Emergency Department Discharge of Pulmonary Embolus Patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hospitalization for low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is common, expensive, and of questionable benefit. OBJECTIVE:The objective was to determine if low-risk PE patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) on rivaroxaban require fewer hospital days compared to standard of care (SOC). METHODS:Multicenter, open-label randomized trial in low-risk PE defined by Hestia criteria. Adult subjects were randomized to early ED discharge on rivaroxaban or SOC. Primary outcome was total number of initial hospital hours, plus hours of hospitalization for bleeding or venous thromboembolism (VTE), 30 days after randomization. A 90-day composite safety endpoint was defined as major bleeding, clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding, and mortality. RESULTS:Of 114 randomized subjects, 51 were early discharge and 63 were SOC. Of 112 (98.2%) receiving at least one dose of study drug, 99 (86.8%) completed the study. Initial hospital LOS was 4.8 hours versus 33.6 hours, with a mean difference of -28.8 hours (95% confidence interval [CI] = -42.55 to -15.12 hours) for early discharge versus SOC, respectively. At 90 days, mean total hospital days (for any reason) were less for early discharge than SOC, 19.2 hours versus 43.2 hours, with a mean difference of 26.4 hours (95% CI = -46.97 to -3.34 hours). At 90 days, there were no bleeding events, recurrent VTE, or deaths. The composite safety endpoint was similar in both groups, with a difference in proportions of 0.005 (95% CI = -0.18 to 0.19). Total costs were $1,496 for early discharge and $4,234 for SOC, with a median difference of $2,496 (95% CI = -$2,999 to -$2,151). CONCLUSIONS:Low-risk ED PE patients receiving early discharge on rivaroxaban have similar outcomes to SOC, but fewer total hospital days and lower costs over 30 days.

Two scimitar veins in an adult: repair through a right thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Project description:Scimitar syndrome is a rare but serious congenital condition that consists of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior vena cava. The appearance on chest radiography resembles a curved Turkish sword, or scimitar. Scimitar syndrome is associated with other anomalies, including hypoplasia of the right lung, dextroposition of the heart, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lung, and atrial septal defect. Clinical manifestations in infants include severe tachypnea and cyanosis. Adult patients may present with dyspnea and increased fatigue. Few adult cases have been reported in the medical literature. Classical surgical repair involves diversion of the scimitar venous flow into the left atrium with a baffle, requiring the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Herein, we report the case of a 42-year-old woman with 2 scimitar veins who underwent corrective surgery at our center without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We also comment on the importance of a patient's lung hypoplasia in the decision to repair the defect through a right thoracotomy.

ECMELLA: successful rescue cardiopulmonary support in post-coronary artery bypass graft cardiogenic shock with cardiac arrest-case report.

Project description:BackgroundCardiogenic shock is the main cause of death in hospitalized patients with acute coronary syndromes, with a high mortality rate. The management of graft thrombosis after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is challenging and the best revascularization strategy is not well defined. In patients who develop cardiac arrest due to graft thrombosis, the benefits of mechanical support during advanced cardiac life support are uncertain. Rescue extracorporeal cardiac bypass resuscitation has been used in the context of cardiopulmonary arrest, with survival rates of around 34.7% of which 28.5% with good neurological outcome.Case summaryWe present here the case of a patient who developed cardiogenic shock after CABG graft occlusion. The patient suffered refractory cardiac arrest during percutaneous revascularization and received rescue cardiopulmonary support. Revascularization was achieved and there was a successful resuscitation with the placement of venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and an Impella CP device. After a 29-day hospitalization the patient was discharged with no neurological sequelae.DiscussionAlthough there is limited evidence of the benefit of a combined use of mechanical support (VA-ECMO with other mechanical devices) in the management of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest following CABG surgery, there seems to be a lower mortality with this approach, and possibly more favourable neurological outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate the advantages of Impella vs. intra-aortic balloon pump combined with VA-ECMO in such patients.

Fluid distribution kinetics during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to examine the isovolumetric distribution kinetics of crystalloid fluid during cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS:Ten patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting participated in this prospective observational study. The blood hemoglobin and the serum albumin and sodium concentrations were measured repeatedly during the distribution of priming solution (Ringer's acetate 1470 ml and mannitol 15% 200 ml) and initial cardioplegia. The rate of crystalloid fluid distribution was calculated based on 3-min Hb changes. The preoperative blood volume was extrapolated from the marked hemodilution occurring during the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01115166. RESULTS:The distribution half-time of Ringer's acetate averaged 8 minutes, corresponding to a transcapillary escape rate of 0.38 ml/kg/min. The intravascular albumin mass increased by 5.4% according to mass balance calculations. The preoperative blood volume, as extrapolated from the drop in hemoglobin concentration by 32% (mean) at the beginning of cardiopulmonary bypass, was 0.6-1.2 L less than that estimated by anthropometric methods (p<0.02). The mass balance of sodium indicated a translocation from the intracellular to the extracellular fluid space in 8 of the 10 patients, with a median volume of 236 ml. CONCLUSIONS:The distribution half-time of Ringer's solution during isovolumetric cardiopulmonary bypass was 8 minutes, which is the same as for crystalloid fluid infusions in healthy subjects. The intravascular albumin mass increased. Most patients were hypovolemic prior to the start of anesthesia. Intracellular edema did not occur.

Pure laparoscopic living donor right hepatectomy (with video).

Project description:Only a few centers in the world perform pure laparoscopic right hepatectomy for adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation. In this procedure, right lobe donation is mostly preferred in view of the higher graft volume usually needed for the recipient. In the area, laparoscopic surgery has had a minor development given the greater technical difficulty and risks for both donor and preservation of the graft. Nevertheless, last 3 years, the advances in major laparoscopic liver surgery suggest that pure laparoscopic right hepatectomy could be a feasible and safe procedure in appropriately selected donors, and mostly, when is performed by surgeons with significant experience in both laparoscopic liver surgery and liver transplantation with living donor liver grafts. This video shows the surgical technique of a pure laparoscopic right hepatectomy in a 30-year-old female volunteered for living donation to her brother.

Pilot proteomic profile of differentially regulated proteins in right atrial appendage before and after cardiac surgery using cardioplegia and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Project description:Although highly protective, cardiac surgery using cardioplegia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CP/CPB) subjects myocardium to hypothermic reversible ischemic injury that can impair cardiac function which results in a greatly enhanced risk of mortality. Acute changes in myocardial contractile activity are likely regulated via protein modifications. We performed the following study to determine changes in the protein profile of human myocardium following CP/CPB.Right atrial appendage was collected from 8 male patients pre and post-CP/CPB. Atrial tissue lysates were subjected to 2-dimensional electrophoresis, total protein staining, gel averaging, and quantitative densitometry. Ten prominent spots regulated in response to CP/CPB were identified using mass spectrometry. Two hundred twenty-five and 256 protein spots were reliably detected in 2D-gels from pre- and post-CP/CPB patients, respectively. Five unique (ie, not detected post-CP/CPB) and 17 significantly increased spots were detected pre-CP/CPB. Thirty-four unique and 25 significantly increased spots were detected in the post-CP/CPB group. Identified proteins that changed after CP/CPB included: MLC-2a, ATP-synthase delta chain and Enoyl-CoenzymeA hydratase, glutathione-s-transferase omega, alpha-1-acid-glycoprotein, and phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein.Cardiac surgery results in multiple consistent changes in the human myocardial protein profile. CP/CPB modifies specific cytoskeletal, metabolic, and inflammatory proteins potentially involved in deleterious effects of CP/CPB.
