Microwave lung ablation complicated by bronchocutaneous fistula: case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Microwave ablation is a developing treatment option for unresectable lung cancer. Early experience suggests that it may have advantages over radiofrequency (RF) ablation with larger ablation zones, shorter heating times, less susceptibility to heat sink, effectiveness in charred lung, synergism with multiple applicators, no need for grounding pads, and similar survival benefit. Newer microwave ablation devices are being developed and as their use becomes more prevalent, a greater understanding of device limitations and complications are important. Herein we describe a microwave lung ablation complicated by bronchocutaneous fistula (BCF) and its treatment. BCF treatment options include close monitoring, surgical closure, percutaneous sealant injection, and endoscopic plug or sealant in those who are not surgical candidates.

Microwave ablation of splenic cyst: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionNon-parasitic spleen cyst (NSC) is a relatively rare and difficult to diagnose disease, which rapture due to a traumatic impact to the spleen, can lead to the peritonitis.Case presentationWe present the case of a 30-year-old woman with a 7.5 × 7.5 × 5 cm NSC, who underwent the microwave ablation (MWA) of the splenic cyst.ResultsThe procedure was performed under intravenous anesthesia. MWA of the cysts was performed using a probe placed in the cavity of the cyst, with the frequency of 902-928 MHz delivered during 15 minutes. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after 2 days.ConclusionWe demonstrated that MWA can be utilized as a novel, minimally-invasive, and cost-effective approach in NSC treatment.

Microwave ablation of hepatic cyst: A case report.

Project description:Hepatic cystadenoma is an urgent problem due to the high risk of malignant transformation. There are both radical and minimally invasive methods of treatment. We present a clinical case describing the successful use of microwave ablation (MWA) in a 72-year-old woman with hepatic cystadenoma. The patient was admitted to the clinic with abdominal discomfort, dull pain in the right hypochondrium, and weight loss of 10 kg during the previous year. The patient had a past medical history of liver cyst in segment VII. Ultrasound scanning, computed tomography (CT) of abdominal organs detected an increase in the size of the cyst, heterogeneity of its structure; the contrast enhancement was noted in the cyst wall. We suspected hepatic cystadenoma in segment VII and performed cyst puncture under ultrasound control - the obtained fluid revealed the presence of cylindrical epithelial cells, mucin, and macrophages in large quantities, high telomerase activity, CA 19-9 levels were greater than 1000 U/mL. Surgery was accomplished using the MWA catheter. Biological and cytological examination of the fluid confirmed the presence of signs of liver cystadenoma with a high malignancy risk. On the 2nd day after surgery ultrasound imaging of the abdomen revealed the residual cavity of 2 × 1 cm in segment VII. The patient was discharged with recommendations to conduct ultrasound examinations every six months. The control CT scan in 2020 showed no focal or cystic formations in the liver. In what way, MWA under control of ultrasound is a promising method of biliary cystadenoma treatment with high malignancy risk.

Pancreaticopleural fistula in children with chronic pancreatitis: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a very rare and critical complication of pancreatitis in children. The majority of publications relevant to PPF are case reports. No pooled analyses of PPF cases are available. Little is known about the pathogenesis and optimal therapeutic schedule. The purpose of this study was to identify the pathogenesis and optimal therapeutic schedule of PPF in children. CASE PRESENTATION:The patient was a 13-year-old girl who suffered from intermittent chest tightness and dyspnea for more than 3?months; she was found to have chronic pancreatitis complicated by PPF. The genetic screening revealed SPINK1 mutation. She was treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic retrograde pancreatic drainage (ERPD); her symptoms improved dramatically after the procedures. CONCLUSIONS:PPF is a rare pancreatic complication in children and causes significant pulmonary symptoms that can be misdiagnosed frequently. PPF in children is mainly associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP); therefore, we highlight the importance of genetic testing. Endoscopic treatment is recommended when conservative treatment is ineffective.

Traumatic femoral arteriovenous fistula following gunshot injury: Case report and review of literature.

Project description:IntroductionVascular injuries account for approximately 2-4% of trauma admissions with only 2.5% of these being traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). We offer a case report of a traumatic AVF and review of the literature.Presentation of caseA 40-year-old male presented following 4 gunshot wounds, 2 in the forearm and 2 in the left upper thigh. The patient had decreased range of motion and paresthesia of the left lower extremity with palpable pulses and adequate capillary refill in all extremities. A CT angiogram demonstrated a left traumatic AVF involving the left deep femoral artery and left common femoral vein with an adjacent bullet fragment. The patient was taken to the operating room and underwent an exploration of the left groin, repair of the traumatic AVF, and removal of bullet fragment. The venous aspect had a grade IV injury and was ligated. The arterial defect was debrided to healthy tissue and repaired primarily. The patient recovered from his injuries with adequate ambulation and resolution of lower extremity edema. He was discharged home on postoperative day 4 on aspirin and a compression stocking.DiscussionTraumatic AVFs are rare, with up to 70% diagnosed in a delayed fashion. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion to correctly diagnose and manage this injury to avoid potential morbidity and mortality.ConclusionDespite literature accounts of surgeons' experience, this pathology is lacking level one evidence-based standardized surgical management algorithms. Controversy exists regarding venous repair methods.

Coronary Artery Fistula Diagnosed by Echocardiography during NSTEMI: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulas are rare abnormal connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a major vessel. Often, they are asymptomatic and the diagnosis is accidental. The case we present is the incidental finding of a fistula displayed with echocardiography during acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A 73-year-old man presented in the emergency room for non-ST-elevation ACS. Echocardiogram showed in a parasternal short axis view an abnormal diastolic flow inside the ventricular inferior wall. Angiography and CT confirmed the diagnosis of coronary fistula from the right coronary into the left ventricular cavity. A literature analysis with discussion about coronary fistulas classification and management was also performed.

Severe pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with insidious pulmonary thromboembolism: a case report and literature review.

Project description:Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is an acute and severe disease with high mortality, which is prone to be misdiagnosed or ignored especially when complicated with tuberculosis (TB). Even though TB has been considered as a risk factor for PTE, there is rare report of TB with PTE worldwide. Which TB patients are more susceptible to PTE is still not clear. Here, we described a case report of PTE with pulmonary TB in a 28-year-old man, who had no risk factors for pulmonary thrombosis at admission and developed a medium-high PTE after initiating anti-TB therapy. After local thrombolysis with interventional therapy and sequential intravenous thrombolysis, combined with long-term anticoagulation, the PTE of the patient disappeared. At follow-up of 4?months, the patient was re-examined with chest enhanced CT and no obvious emboli was found. We emphasize that acute or severe TB infection should be included in the thromboembolism risk assessment and prophylactic use of anticoagulants may be considered even if there are no other obvious risk factors. Interventional therapy is a good option for thrombolysis treatment if hospital condition permits.

Prenatal diagnosis of coronary artery fistula: a case report and review of literature.

Project description:We report an antenatally diagnosed large distal coronary artery fistula (CAF) arising from an aneurysmal dilation right coronary artery (RCA) and draining in to the right ventricle (RV) just below the septal leaflet of tricuspid valve posteriorly. A postnatal echocardiogram confirmed the diagnosis. On the second day of life, a percutaneous partial closure of the fistula was performed by placing a Flipper coil (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN) in the RCA just proximal to the drainage site in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Follow-up echocardiogram on the day following the procedure showed improved forward flow in the descending aorta with decreased RV size. Our case report suggests that antenatal diagnosis of a CAF may aid in early intervention. Partial closure of the fistula in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is safe and effective.

Cutaneous-Pericardial Fistula: Rare Complication of Transapical Aortic Valve Replacement—Case Report and Literature Review

Project description:Cutaneous-pericardial fistula is a rare complication of transapical aortic valve replacement; only a few cases are reported in the literature. It is part of a wide range of surgical site infection manifestations that could emerge after surgery. Due to its proximity to the heart, the risk of infectious lesions of adjacent structures and inoculation of pathogens on the prosthetic valve can lead to life-threatening complications. We report here a case of successful surgical treatment through reduced ribs and soft tissue operative trauma.

Aorto-right Ventricular Fistula Following Percutaneous Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:An 88-year-old woman with a prior history of aortic stenosis and history of valvuloplasty presented with worsening symptoms of heart failure and dizziness. She underwent successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) without complications. Follow-up echocardiograms revealed a small fistula connecting aorta to the right ventricle. The patient was initially asymptomatic but 3 months later developed overload of the right ventricle and heart failure and chose to continue medical therapy. She died of progressive heart failure at 9 months from onset of fistula. Aorto-right ventricular fistula is a rare complication of TAVR with only four cases reported in literature thus far.
