Iatrogenic perforation of upper pouch in pure esophageal atresia: a rare complication and review of literature.

ABSTRACT: Iatrogenic perforation of the neonate's pharynx and esophagus with normal anatomy was first described by Eklöf et al in 1968. It typically occurs in severely premature neonates who have undergone repeated traumatic attempts at endotracheal intubation or passage of orogastric tubes. It may also mimic esophageal atresia (EA). Perforation of upper pouch in tracheoesophageal fistula with EA was rarely reported. We report a 1,400 g (32 weeks) neonate with pure EA and iatrogenic perforation of upper pouch due to use of catheter for diagnostic radiography.

Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula: A Rare Complication of Pacemaker Implantation.

Project description:Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both were repaired endovascularly and had good outcomes post-repair. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Iatrogenic Neonatal Esophageal Perforation: A European Multicentre Review on Management and Outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this multicenter retrospective study and literature review was to review management and outcomes of neonatal esophageal perforation (NEP).MethodsProtocol data were collected from four European Centers on gestational age, factors surrounding feeding tube insertion, management and outcomes.ResultsThe 5-year study period (2014-2018) identified eight neonates with median gestational age of 26 + 4 weeks (23 + 4-39) and median birth weight 636 g (511-3500). All patients had NEP from enterogastric tube insertions, with the perforation occurring at median 1st day of life (range 0-25). Seven/eight patients were ventilated (two/seven-high frequency oscillation). NEP became apparent on first tube placement (n = 1), first change (n = 5), and after multiple changes (n = 2). Site of perforation was known in six (distal n = 3, proximal n = 2 and middle n = 1). Diagnosis was established by respiratory distress (n = 4), respiratory distress and sepsis (n = 2) and post-insertion chest X-ray (n = 2). Management in all patients included antibiotics and parenteral nutrition with two/eight receiving steroids and ranitidine, one/eight steroids only and one/eight ranitidine only. One neonate had a gastrostomy inserted, while in another an enterogastric tube was orally successfully re-inserted. Two neonates developed pleural effusion and/or mediastinal abscess requiring chest tube. Three neonates had significant morbidities (related to prematurity) and there was one death 10 days post-perforation (related to prematurity complications).ConclusionsNEP during NGT insertion is rare even in premature infants after evaluating data from four tertiary centers and reviewing the literature. In this small cohort, conservative management seems to be safe. A larger sample size will be necessary to answer questions on efficacy of antibiotics, antacids and NGT re-insertion time frame in NEP.

Pulmonary torsion as an atypical complication of congenital esophageal atresia repair-a case report and review of literature.

Project description:Pulmonary torsion is a severe, life-threatening event, rarely occurring in children. We present a case of atypical postoperative complication of esophageal atresia repair in the form of pulmonary torsion comprising the middle lobe of the right lung. Clinical deterioration in the face of normal arterial blood gases should rise a high index of suspicion for pulmonary torsion. Early diagnosis is crucial, treatment is surgical, detorsion if possible, or if the lobe is not viable-resection.

Neonatal intestinal perforation-a rare complication of small bowel hemangioma.

Project description:Intestinal perforation is an extremely rare complication of hemangioma of the small intestine in the neonatal period. This is a case report of a 27-days-old male infant who presented with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy findings revealed intestinal perforation due to solitary hemangioma in the ileum, which led to obstruction from peritoneal reaction and adhesions. There are two reported cases in the literature presenting with ileal perforation in the pediatric age group, but only one previous report mentioned in the neonatal period. Because there are other more common causes of perforation in the neonatal period, intestinal hemangioma in spite of its rarity should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Laparoscopic endoloop technique - A novel approach of managing iatrogenic caecal perforation and literature review.

Project description:IntroductionAn iatrogenic caecal perforation is rare, but a serious complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present a 4min and 50s video on a new improvisation undertaken during laparoscopic management of post-polypectomy caecal perforation.Presentation of caseOur patient presented with an acute abdomen following endoscopic polypectomy. At surgery, the site of caecal perforation was close to the appendicular base with devitalization tissue, secondary to diathermy usage. The hallmark of safety within this novel technique included fresh healthy tissue margins within the endoloop (detachable snare ligation) and ensuring no ischemic tissue was gathered. Complete freeing of the appendix and meso-appendicular base was required and securing three endoloops proximal to the site of perforation. The post-operative course was uneventful.DiscussionThe World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) 2013 guidelines suggested an early laparoscopic approach is a safe and effective treatment for colonoscopy-related colonic perforation. There are no national guidelines and the management is dictated by the clinical condition of the patient, co-morbidity, size and site of perforation as well as the scale of bowel preparation, and surgical experience.ConclusionThe endoloop technique described, undertaken during a laparoscopy is a novel approach. It is a simple and effective method, reminding clinicians to adapt techniques when necessary. Nevertheless, it is only limited to perforations around the appendicular base.

Case series of iatrogenic coronary stent avulsion: a rare complication with varied management strategies.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary stent avulsion is a rare, infrequently reported complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with no consensus on management options.Case summaryThis case series presents three descriptions of iatrogenic coronary stent avulsions, and three different bailout management strategies. All patients presented with acute coronary syndrome and required PCI. In the first case, a freshly implanted stent was entrapped in a coronary guidewire and avulsed upon withdrawal of the wire into the aortic sinus. In the second case, a staged procedure to implant a new stent was complicated by stent dislodgement and entanglement with a recently implanted stent leading to avulsion of both stents into the aortic sinus and resultant dissection to the coronary arteries. In the third case, following a successful stent implantation, the tip of the coronary guidewire was bound to the proximal edge of the stent resulting in avulsion of the newly implanted stent into the ascending aorta upon retraction of the wire at the end of the procedure. The first two patients were managed percutaneously, and the third surgically. All patients have had acceptable technical and clinical outcomes.DiscussionIn the absence of a consensus on best bailout management strategy, we discuss the mechanisms of and the potential management options for this rare, but serious, complication.
