Microbubbles detection during cardiopulmonary bypass with transoesophageal echocardiography: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionMicroembolic signals are usually detected with transcranial doppler during cardiac surgery.This report focuses on suggesting the transesophageal echocardiography as a different diagnostic approach to detect microemboli during cardiopulmonary bypass.Case presentationA 58 year old male patient, caucasian race, was operated on video assisted minimally invasive mitral valve repair using right minithoracotomy approach. His past medical history included an uncontrolled hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, carotid arteries stenosis. The extracorporeal circulation was performed with femoral-femoral artery and venous approach. Negative pressure for vacuum assist venous drainage was applied in order to facilitate venous blood return. The patient had a brain monitoring with bilateral transcranial doppler of middle cerebral arteries and a double channels electroencephalogram. A three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to evaluate the mitral valve repair was performed.During the cardiopulmonary bypass a significant microembolic activity was detected in the middle cerebral arteries spectrum velocities due to gas embolism from venous return. Simultaneous recording of microbubbles was also observed on the descending thoracic aorta transesophageal echo views.ConclusionDuring the aortic cross-clamping time the transesophageal echocardiography can be useful as an alternative method to assess the amount of gas embolism coming from cardiopulmonary bypass. These informations can promote immediate interaction between perfusionist, surgeon and anesthesiologist to perform adequate manoeuvres in order to reduce the microembolism during extracorporeal circulation.

"Treatable" diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous fistula - An unusual cause.

Project description:A 4 year old boy was referred for evaluation of failure to thrive and mild cyanosis. He was found to have a structurally normal heart with evidence of microscopic pulmonary arterio-venous (AV) fistulae. Later, he was diagnosed to have congenital porto-systemic shunt, a very rare cause of pulmonary AV fistula.

Artificial intelligence in detecting left atrial appendage thrombus by transthoracic echocardiography and clinical features: the Left Atrial Thrombus on Transoesophageal Echocardiography (LATTEE) registry.

Project description:AimsTransoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is often performed before catheter ablation or cardioversion to rule out the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAT) in patients on chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC), despite associated discomfort. A machine learning model [LAT-artificial intelligence (AI)] was developed to predict the presence of LAT based on clinical and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) features.Methods and resultsData from a 13-site prospective registry of patients who underwent TOE before cardioversion or catheter ablation were used. LAT-AI was trained to predict LAT using data from 12 sites (n = 2827) and tested externally in patients on chronic OAC from two sites (n = 1284). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of LAT-AI were compared with that of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and CHA2DS2-VASc score. A decision threshold allowing for a 99% negative predictive value was defined in the development cohort. A protocol where TOE in patients on chronic OAC is performed depending on the LAT-AI score was validated in the external cohort. In the external testing cohort, LAT was found in 5.5% of patients. LAT-AI achieved an AUC of 0.85 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.82-0.89], outperforming LVEF (0.81, 95% CI 0.76-0.86, P < .0001) and CHA2DS2-VASc score (0.69, 95% CI: 0.63-0.7, P < .0001) in the entire external cohort. Based on the proposed protocol, 40% of patients on chronic OAC from the external cohort would safely avoid TOE.ConclusionLAT-AI allows accurate prediction of LAT. A LAT-AI-based protocol could be used to guide the decision to perform TOE despite chronic OAC.

Posterior wall thickness of the confluent inferior pulmonary veins measured by left atrial intracardiac echocardiography: implications for catheter ablation.

Project description:BackgroundConfluent inferior pulmonary veins (CIPV) is a rare anatomical variant. There is few evidence in the literature regarding anatomic landmarks consideration to guide radiofrequency application in avoiding complications in the esophagus in CIPV cases.MethodsOf 986 consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation from July 2020 to June 2022, seven (0.7%) had CIPV with a common trunk connecting to the LA diagnosed by 3-dimensional contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) performed from the left atrium (LA), we measured the posterior wall thickness (PWT) of the CIPV adjacent to the esophagus and compared the measurement with the LA posterior wall thickness (LAPWT) at the left inferior PV level of 25 controls without CIPV. For ablation in CIPV patients, each superior PV was individually isolated, and box isolation of CIPV without ablating the CIPV posterior wall was added (tri-circle ablation technique).ResultsThe CIPV PWT was 0.7 ± 0.1 mm, while non-CIPV LAPWT was 2.0 ± 0.4 mm (P < 0.001). In the CIPV group, upper and lower portions of the CIPV were both apart from the esophagus (mean distances, 6.7 ± 3.4 mm and 7.9 ± 2.7 mm, respectively). Individual superior PV isolation and box CIPV isolation resulted in complete isolation of all PVs, with no complications. All CIPV patients except one remained AF recurrence-free for 376 ± 52 days.ConclusionsAlthough CIPV frequency is low, CIPV PWT is very thin and special care is needed during ablation. A "tri-circle" ablation strategy avoids ablating in the thinnest portion of the posterior wall. Further studies are warranted to assess the safety.

Inferior pulmonary ligament division during left upper lobectomy causes pulmonary dysfunction.

Project description:ObjectivesThe division of inferior pulmonary ligament (IPL) during upper lobectomy (UL) was believed to be mandatory to dilate the remaining lung sufficiently. However, the benefits, especially postoperative pulmonary function, remain controversial. This study aimed to evaluate whether IPL division leads to pulmonary dysfunction.MethodsThis retrospective study included 213 patients who underwent UL between 2005 and 2018. They were categorized into an IPL division group (D group, n = 106) and a preservation group (P group, n = 107). Postoperative dead space at the lung apex, pulmonary function and complications were assessed using chest X-rays and spirometry. Changes in bronchial angle, cross-sectional area and circumference of the narrowed bronchus on the excised side were measured on three-dimensional computed tomography.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the postoperative complication rate, the dead space area, forced vital capacity (FVC), or forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) between the 2 groups after right UL (FVC; P = 0.838, FEV1; P = 0.693). By contrast, after left UL pulmonary function was significantly better in the P than in the D group (FVC; P = 0.038, FEV1; P = 0.027). Changes in bronchial angle did not significantly differ between the 2 groups. The narrowed bronchus's cross-sectional area (P = 0.021) and circumference (P = 0.009) were significantly smaller in the D group than in the P group after left UL.ConclusionsIPL division during left UL caused postoperative pulmonary dysfunction and airflow limitation due to bronchial kinking. IPL preservation may have a beneficial impact on postoperative pulmonary function.
