Right subclavian vein approach for selective left bundle branch pacing: A case report.

Project description:We reported a 65-year-old man with symptomatic bradycardia caused by chronic atrial fibrillation who underwent pacemaker implantation by left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) via right subclavian vein (RSV) approach. A tricuspid valve annulus (TVA) angiography was performed, and a different connecting cable that can monitor electrocardiograms (ECG) and intracardiac electrograms (EGM) in real time was used during the process. By TVA angiography, we could easily find the ideal location of LBBP; a new connecting cable helped us avoid perforation and guide effective endpoint without the need to stop pacing. The case showed that it was feasible and safe to use the new method for LBBP through RSV route.

A foreign body in the cephalic vein: A case report.

Project description:RationaleForeign bodies in the vasculature usually cause numerous problems for clinical physicians. Physician experience with diagnosing and treating non-iatrogenic foreign body migration in the venous system is insufficient.Patient concernsHere, we reported a 41-year-old male who had a foreign body in his left forearm following a work-related injury.DiagnosesX-ray films indicated a 3-mm high-density shadow in the superficial soft tissue of the left forearm. During the operation, the foreign body was imaged by a C-arm fluoroscope to provide a more accurate location.InterventionsThe foreign body was removed completely following a microsuture of the cephalic vein.OutcomesThe procedure was uneventful, and the patient remained asymptomatic after 6 months of clinical follow-up.LessonsThis case indicated that the foreign body in the superficial tissue needed to be accurately diagnosed and located. X-ray and C-arm fluoroscope imaging should be combined with the patient's medical history to ensure sufficient preoperative preparation.

Penetrating chest trauma caused by a falling metallic bar: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundImpaling injuries to the chest are relatively rare and often lethal. Initial evaluation, resuscitation, and surgical planning can be challenging for emergency physicians and surgeons. Chest trauma can be classified as either closed or penetrating, depending on whether or not the pleural cavity is open. Penetrating objects entering chest cavity frequently make an entrance and exit and are often accompanied by visceral/vascular damage. Open thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) are considered the first-line approaches for severe penetrating chest trauma.Case descriptionA 63-year-old male patient sustained a penetrating chest trauma caused by a T-shaped metallic bar falling from a height of 16 meters above the ground. After laboratory and imaging tests, as well as pre-operative preparation, the object was pulled out from the entry site after disinfection with surgical standby. Closed chest tube drainage was promptly performed, with chest tubes inserted through the entry and exit sites. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 14 in a good condition. Regular telephone follow-ups over 3 years showed that the patient recovered well after discharge.ConclusionsFor penetrating non-cardiac chest trauma patients in stable condition, it is necessary to complete an exhaustive imaging evaluation to determine the specific position of the foreign body and identify any injuries to major vessels and organs. If the condition permits, direct removal of foreign bodies is allowed, ideally under VATS control. Surgeons should evaluate the best option for each case based on the available resources.

Unusual Case of a Foreign Body in Tracheo-Esophageal Party wall.

Project description:Foreign body ingestion is a common problem among children and less so with adults. Most patients are asymptomatic and require no treatment while some need acute management depending on type, size, shape, duration, symptoms and physical findings. Here we present an unusual case of foreign body ingestion which perorated through the pyriform fossa and lodged in tracheoesophageal party wall requiring surgical exploration.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-03698-1.

Cardiac arrest secondary to subclavian artery injury in blunt chest trauma: A lifesaving emergency surgery in COVID crises.

Project description:A 25-year-old male vehicle driver had a road traffic accident and sustained a blunt chest injury. His chest x-ray in the emergency department showed left hemithorax opacification. A chest drain Fr32 was inserted, and 1300ml of Blood drained out. While having a computed tomographic scan of the thorax scan, he had a cardiac arrest and after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) he was transferred to our tertiary care hospital on a mechanical ventilator and massive ionotropic support (adrenaline and noradrenaline) with a blood pressure of 50/24 mmHg. We performed a lifesaving emergency thoracotomy in a supine position with all COVID precautions, as COVID status was not available before hospitalization. After the repair of the Subclavian artery patient recovered completely and was discharged for follow-up in outpatient.

Anterior chest wall resection and sternal body wedge for primary chest wall tumour: reconstruction technique with biological meshes and titanium plates.

Project description:Chest wall tumours are heterogeneous neoplasms, either primary or metastatic, with a malignancy rate of 50%. Surgical resection is one of the mainstays of the treatment, however, chest wall resections can be particularly challenging depending onto the resection size, site and patient habitus. The surgical strategy should be carefully analysed preoperatively, keeping in mind the need of an oncological radical resection (R0) in accordance to the reconstruction principles elicited by le Roux and Sherma since 1983, which include restoring the chest wall rigidity, preserving pulmonary mechanics, protect the intrathoracic organs, avoiding paradox movements of the chest cavity and, possibly, to reduce the thoracic deformity. In this context, we herewith report our surgical reconstruction technique following an anterior chest wall resection and sternal body wedge for a primary chest wall tumour (chondrosarcoma).

A strange case of foreign body embolism in the right lower pulmonary artery.

Project description:Foreign bodies in the pulmonary circulation have been documented in the literature, with almost all cases being iatrogenic, involving venous catheters, or due to penetrating foreign body emboli. Foreign body pulmonary emboli are often difficult to diagnose due to their varied clinical presentation, the nature of the embolizing material and dubious radiological features. We describe the case of a patient who experienced episodes of massive hemoptysis with inconclusive radiological findings, who underwent a thoracotomy with the discovery of a wooden object of 7 cm in length in the right lower lobe artery, with no apparent mechanism of injury.
